From Classic Car Weekly / 19th Feb 2009.
The idea is beautifully simple; people who want something delivered place details of the item plus the collection and delivery postcodes, on the stuff2send website. There’ it’s seen by other people who are making a similar journey anyway, and they can make an offer to deliver the item. The sender can then select the lowest or best offer.
This benefits everyone; the sender pays less than they normally would using a conventional company and the person making the delivery gets a bit of money towards the cost of the journey they are making anyway. The environment benefits too because duplicated journeys on the same route are minimised.
We suspect it’ll work best when time is not of the essence for the delivery, and the sender can wait for more offers to find somene making that journey anyway.
We think it’s an excellent idea, and hope it succeeds.
