I wanted something like this a few years back for small scale billing. I decided to partner with a local print shop who was able to get me a good pricing on 2 color prints and envelops. I never was able to find a place with a good API that handled low quantity orders with a reasonable price. ($0.45 a bill)
Sendwrite is too expensive (obviously has a different target audience). I had to sign up to get prices.
1 Card - $2.99
3 Cards - $7.99
10 Cards - $24.99
20 Cards - $39.80
- ericd 15y ago$0.45 per bill? Surely that wasn't the shipped price you were looking for - stamps alone are 0.44 each... On top of that, it's a very labor intensive service.
- JoshTriplett 15y agoMetered mail costs significantly less than stamped mail. A quick check with the USPS suggests a price of $0.237 per piece. That makes $0.45 per piece pretty reasonable for a fully automated service, assuming a human never needs to touch individual pieces of mail.
- ericd 15y agoFair point about metered stuff. I'd assume that it'd be extremely hard to automate this unless it was constrained to one or a couple of types of mail, though.
- JoshTriplett 15y agoThey give a quick order of magnitude on their front page without signing up: https://sendwrite.com/ https://sendwrite.com/ mentions "as low as $1.99 per card in a pack of 20".
