im sure i read it somewhere, no doubt fishtank will confirm or deny.
There was never any intention of doing it....right now, with no envelope ( the cheapest option ) 6 d2ds have an equal chance of being spotted by a punter, in a clear envelope, ( the expensive option ) only 2 have an equal chance of catching the eye, in a brown envelope ( the cheaper option ) none of them have a chance of a punter spotting something that interests them in the journey between door and dustbin

option 1. Charge max amount for d2ds, minimal cost to deliver
option 2. charge max for 2 items & reduce pricing for the remainder, large additional cost to deliver, possible neagtive spin over exessive packaging waste
option 3 charge minimal pricing for all items, substantial ( but not large ) increased cost to deliver, possible negative spin over excessive packaging waste

If it was your money, how would you choose to spend it?
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

At a morning meeting with rep and dim this was not only mentioned it was a "fact" that this would happen. Always wondered what poor sod would be putting this crap in the envelopes anyway. Did read about the small box with crap inside it though.
