Could Tesco provide it?

This isn’t as pie in the sky as you may think.

Tesco have a store close to everyone that could be used as a collection point, they already have transportation between stores and hubs and the key to the operations, there home delivery service could double as a post delivery service.

It’s not as crazy as you may think, I’m sure Tesco would love to have a service where they could advertise directly into every home, maybe they could make people use Tesco envelopes, blue and white strips of course.

Any other thought are welcome.

As you will see in my previous post there is no alternative to the Royal Mail, although it’s not looking fit for a queen at the moment.
