SendSocial

Sending your online friends virtual gifts and e-card is all very well, but often there's no substitute for a physical delivery. SendSocial is handy service that lets you post packages to people without knowing their addresses. Instead it notifies your intended recipient that you want to send them something and they can choose whether or not to provide their details. The courier delivery costs from £3.99 for a 2kg parcel and takes between three and five days. We like the friendly design of the site and its clear explanation of how the system works, which make it feel like a trustworthy gift-carrying go-between.
