Show HN: Send Free Postcards

9 pointsby tam7t14 anni fa3 comments

About 2 years ago I made a webapp to print and mail real-life postcards for a small fee ($1). It never caught on and only had a few customers, mostly family and friends, so now I'm stuck with a bunch of 28 cent stamps and the USPS has increased postage to 32 cents for postcards. I want to just get rid of all the old stamps so I'm offering to send postcards for free until the old stamps run out.

Go to http://bonj.ourbunny.com and use coupon code OB123 to send a free postcard.

Oh this is actually kind of cool, i would probably use it if it let me send outside of the US!

I always wanted to make a service that let you send letters from nearby the location you're sending to. I dont recall the exact reason i needed this now, but a while ago i needed to send a letter (to a bank or something) in Australia, while i was in Canada...and really didn't want to wait 2 weeks for it to get there. My hope was i could write the letter online, send it to the online service, they would print it and send it from nearby the destination of the letter with the aim of reducing the time it would take to get there.

If you already have the product, maybe this would be a possible mod to support this kind of need?

Either way, kudos for sharing this.
