Currently, but USPS has indicated they would like to get into this business. It would be a worthwhile risk to set up a service that would take advantage of this beforehand so they could be the first service to do this.
As being a man-in-the-middle, that would double the price of shipping, where it already costs 10% to 50% of the widget's value. Though it might be a good service to have available for new users who don't have any feedback in their profile.
- endersshadow 12y agoBeing a MITM would certainly increase shipping costs, but if you're able to get bulk pricing, you could potentially drop the shipping costs to less than what it could cost the users to ship it themselves.
