This is HOT off the PRESS SOCIAL MEDIA

This is the hottest new thing in social media and could be excellent news for charities and social enterprises.

How it works

SendSocial makes sending things to your friends and relatives easy – you don't even need to know where they live.

You can send an item knowing only your recipient's Twitter ID or email address. We'll send your request to the individual, and – if they choose to accept – will take their address details from them.

You'll then receive a notification that they're happy to hear from you, and will be asked to confirm the collection address and pay by credit or debit card. Once this is complete, we'll provide you with an address-less label to stick to your package, which will be collected by myHermes, our delivery partners, and delivered in 3-5 working days.

The barcode contains all the important delivery information. myHermes have upgraded their systems to be able to read these: this means that items can travel safely from A to B quickly and easily, whilst giving you the peace of mind that your privacy is guaranteed.

This means that with a bit of a brainstorm, you could come up with a really hot fundraising campaign before Christmas....think of joint partnerships here. Do you have any corporations supporting your cause who might be able to benefit from PR injection? Secret Santa? Competitions?

They have kept their pricing structure simple, charging one of three rates depending on the weight of your package. They don't have any hidden charges, either - what you see is what you pay. The prices for optional extras, such as a signature on delivery, are explained below.
