Right, because I cannot possibly purchase a thousand such letters for less than the cost of minimum wage for an hour or two.


Where I live a 2nd class stamp costs the equivalent of $1.24. That's $1240 for a thousand.

Not including the cost of the letter itself, or the envelope, or the cost to write it if it's being farmed out to overseas labour, who then has to send it by international postage. And then you have evidence of where the letter originated, and that can be compared with how the user presents themselves online.

Little bit more than 2 hours minimum wage I think.


The kind of place that will make and send letters by the thousand will probably have a better deal on postage.

I'm seeing business rates for stamps is the equivalent of $1.20 per stamp. Free delivery though.
