Whether we are a domestic user or a business, we all have to use the mail service at some point and that means buying stamps. Many years ago, we had no choice, whether it was raining, snowing or just cold, we had to head to the nearest post office to purchase our stamps. There were often long queues and at particular times of the day or week the queues could be even longer, you could be lucky and go along at a quiet moment but if you were going regularly, the chances were that you were going to be in a long queue with other people. Not everyone would be using the service just to purchase stamps so depending on who was in the queue and their purpose, the task could be hugely time-consuming.
If you were not close to a postal outlet, that could pose a problem, you perhaps had to walk a long distance carrying heavy bags of mail and that may have taken multiple staff members, or if you were lucky enough you could drive but in busy city centre areas, parking restrictions could further complicate the issue. Businesses used to store their mail and go at a point in the day or week rather than have to make small regular trips. The process was onerous for businesses and it meant quite a bit of downtime for the business as members of staff could be regularly away from their desks and in the case of companies who were sending large amounts of mail, they often had to have dedicated staff members and dedicated accommodation in order to be able to process all of their mail.
