Iranian startup designs SAPOST as Personal Postal Code
An Iranian startup has designed a virtual mailbox, known as SAPOST (a Persian acronym which stands for Iranians’ virtual mailbox), which would provide people with using an exclusive personal postal code, instead of postal address, for their parcels and letters across the country.
“Every individual can register on our website and select varietal SAPOSTID.for example a Seven-digit & Mobile number & National code and then use it as a permanent address which is not changed for the lifetime,”
In this way, the receiver is not obliged to give his or her detailed address in order to receive parcels or letters.
“Besides, the service provides you a facility to change your address even through the month without changing the code.
The receiver does not need to give address for receiving mails and via the code he or she receives the mail everywhere in Iran.
Unlike postal code, which is place-based, the SAPOSTID is for each individual and is not changed with address change.
A traveler in love with letters
“I do love travelling and besides I prefer to be connected with my friends through letter writing.
“Hence most of my letters were returned to sender since I was not at home.
“There I started to think about a system according to which, the address of receiver is dependent on an individual not his or her location.
