I know that "blue dart" provides such "service". The Australian high commission in Delhi has such a "contract" with them.
The amount of couriers we are going to be sending is lower than them and it would end up costing a bomb shell. I would gladly outsource the couriering/media replication etc to a separate agency if they charge reasonable rates and would take care of it entirely. I haven't found one.
In most of the discussions around FreeMedia, the thread eventually boils down to "there are more requests than there are volunteers to service those requests and, the costs of courier are exponentially high". How about looking at the problem in terms of folks are requesting for media (note the absence of the the phrase "free of cost") and, we need to think up a way to route the media to these folks ? Or, in other words, how many routes can we think up that would get the media to them ?
