London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/21/2015 -- Leading UK envelope company, Pitshanger Envelopes, have recently commented on the tests which a postal service has undertaken in Finland, using drones to carry post to select addresses.
The drone trial is an experiment to determine other ways in which post can be delivered, and the Posti Group spent four days testing out how a drone can deliver post to the island Helsinki, which was three miles from the test site.
The drone can only carry mail up to 3kg, and has metal arms to grip onto it. A human pilot controls the device, ensuring the drone doesn't get lost on the way. The test with this drone was a success, though wind conditions meant the drone had to land further away than initially planned.
Despite the successful tests, the delivery method won't be used commercially in the near future, due to laws and safety regulations currently in place. But Posti Group are looking to eventually expand outside of a testing environment, once drone based devices become more of a normality.
Often commenting on industry related news, a spokesperson for Pitshanger Envelopes said: "More and more options are becoming available when it comes to how people receive their mail, and soon it will be easier than ever to get post to people quicker than ever, no matter where they are located!
Though a lot of mail isn't even opened, instead sent to the junk pile. This can be avoided if your envelopes stand out from the rest, and at Pitshanger Envelopes, we have a wide range of colours, sizes and types to help ensure your post is the first to be opened when it arrives!"
