See who can deliver for less.
The open market is a shared price board for print centres. Each centre lists what it charges, and every other centre can see it.
What centres list.
Each centre sets its own prices for the parts of a letter that cost money, and updates them whenever it likes.
- Paper
- Envelopes
- Processing
- Delivery
- And more
How a centre uses it.
- 01
Join and list your prices
Joining is free. Put in what you charge for each part of a letter.
- 02
Open the market for a destination
When a letter is going abroad, look at the centres in that country.
- 03
Compare with doing it yourself
Every centre’s total sits next to the cost of printing and posting the letter yourself.
- 04
Hand it over if it’s cheaper
Send the letter digitally. The other centre prints and posts it at local rates.
Receive more. Earn more.
By joining, your centre can receive letters that other centres hand over, and earn from printing and posting them at the prices you set. Receiving costs you nothing, so more letters means more income without any additional costs.
Why it works.
A letter for another country normally crosses a border on paper. Through the market it travels as data instead, is printed in the destination country and enters the local postal network directly, at domestic rates and with domestic delivery times.
