Sweet, I was hoping someone would make something like this!

The thing that inhibits me from using your site is that I don't understand 100% what it does / how it does it, and how much it costs.

I'd add A LOT more meat to your landing page.

I want to know

* What am I allowed to print? Show me examples of all the stuff I can do

* Can I create campaigns, where it is automatically scheduled to send X on Jan 1st, Y on Feb 1st, etc..

* Can I have trinkets / widgets delivered to you guys and you combine that into one mailing?

* I definitely want to be sure the printed thing looks like how I intended it to be. How will you do this? I would like it if I got the mail piece scanned or photographed (as a review copy, before it is scheduled to be sent) and emailed to me.

* What's the cost? You don't have to do all the stuff above for free. You can charge a fee for everything, e.g. $1-$5 per trinket that has to be processed, $10-$20 for a review copy photo / scan. What's the cost per print + mailing? Can I choose the mailing speed (e.g. FedEx overnight, UPS 3-day ground, etc.)?



The YCombinator startup whose product you may be able to use to build the service you want is Lob.


Death by feature-creep.

Sorry, but you sound like you'd be a nightmare client.


While it might not be the best feature-set for this specific startup, those are features that I would be looking for if I wanted to use this for my business.

However, the "About" page makes it very clear that this is nothing more than a project (not a business), so adding the feature request would likely take more time than it would bring in dollars.
