A Web enabled communication service between a sender (a person who wishes to communicate with his near and dear ones) who has Internet access and the receiver who hasn't,

www.postboxonline.com claims to be India's first personal postal service.

The modus operandi for this service is that any registered user with Internet access can register with postboxonline.com and type his message/letter/greeting along with the postal address for the person for whom it is intended. The communication will then be printed and sent to the address mentioned by courier. For all this the sender will not be charged anything. This service is free for individual users.

Two very bright youngsters, Chinmay and Harsh have designed this portal. Chinmay has completed his higher secondary and Harsh is pursuing BBA from IILM. This venture is backed by the Modi group, which couldn't have, but gauged the potential of these two young gentlemen. Around Rs 50 lakh has been spent till now in designing this service.

The Personal Letter Account service is intended for individual users. This Web model takes messages online from anywhere in the world and delivers them to recipients residing anywhere in India. The process is the same as mentioned above. Under this service greeting cards can also be sent. The cards may be chosen from a collection of cards available on the site. 

Organizations can send bulk mail to recipients who don't have Internet access using the Premium Account/High Volume Account service. They can send the message to postboxonline.com through e-mail along with the mailing list. Postboxonline.com will then send the message to all the recipients.

  1. More than one mailing list can be maintained at the site, each catering to a different category of clients.

  2. Commercial organisations, SMEs and clubs can pay some nominal fee to get the bulk mail sent across a number of recipients. The costs of mailing in bulk is not only half of the money spent on the actual mailing, but also will reduce the cumbersome work of addressing, packing and sending of messages to various people.

  3. Corporates can get the letters sponsored and have their message printed on the backside of the letters and envelopes and the mailing service will be available to the advertisers. This will provide an opportunity to corporates to reach out to far and wide audiences at a personal level and to communicate with the target audiences without much clutter.

  4. NGOs can have their logo printed on the letter at a nominal cost.

  5. Organizations who place their advertisements can mail coupons, discount vouchers, promotional schemes etc, for delivery along with their letters.
