Send a Package via Email Address
Posted on December 15th, 2009 by Naoko McCracken
SoftBank Frameworks, logistics provider and a subsidiary of SoftBank, announced a new service where you can send packages without knowing the recipient’s physical address.
The service is called Meru-Ado Takuhaibin (Email Address Door-to-Door Delivery).
To send a package, sender would fill out an online form with the email address of the recipient. The service will send out an email notification to the addressee, then he/she can choose to fill out the information needed for delivery, or refuse it. Because SoftBank Frameworks works as an escrow, the sender can protect own identity.
The service can accept packages under 5kg for a flat rate of 990 yen, regardless of the originating address/destination.
