Does Lob have a specific differentiator compared to other API-enabled print fulfillment houses? It seems to be a fairly well served market (at least in the UK) so I'm slightly surprised to see a fresh YC team on the case.

Pricing for the UK seems kind of expensive.<p>Letter sending is often touted as being one of those things that&#x27;s actually a lot more expensive than you think it is, and I think Lob are leveraging that common &quot;wisdom&quot;. I don&#x27;t really believe the Total Costs that are touted ($15.00 to send a letter), but it&#x27;s interesting thinking how much this could therefore save.<p>I think there&#x27;s also a huge potential here to partner with Mail Scanning Services. If I can charge you $1.60 to send a physical letter, and a mail scanning service can charge the same to receive said physical letter - then we&#x27;re both in a position to cut out the middle man and essentially charge you $3.00 to send and receive an email.<p>That&#x27;s a frighteningly efficient way of making money.

Great service, have used them in the past for postcards and will integrate again in the future. Congrats!

We&#x27;ve used Lob for various printing needs from postcards to stand up banners (excellent btw) for trade shows; and plan to continue using them as needs arise. The turnaround time has always been quick.
