Postage sharing viable?

Hi guys. This is just a thought, so please don’t shoot me down.

Just wondering if there are any other SME businesses in or around either of the following locations that I can join up with for postage sharing.

I have just recently started selling online, and already I’m feeling the pinch when it comes to postage. If there is another business locally that also sends parcels, then perhaps by sending my parcels together with yours, we could attain better rates/contracts?

I have a warehouse in Rainham (Ferry lane South)

A retail shop in E13 (Green street)

and live in E11 2.

So if anyone who sends parcels from either of these three locations it could be beneficial to both you and I to work together.

If this idea is a complete failure then please let me know why. As far as I can think, it seems plausible?

Also, I have office space in my warehouse to rent should anyone be interested.

Regards,

Fox.

 

Not in the right locations to share with the OP but this is something I have often thought about as we pay for a daily RM collection (as well as free courier collections) which would be free if we posted a little more.

Would be interested to hear if anyone successfully does this.
