"Small businesses are the ones that use the service. The shippers today have the capacity to meet who sells 100 to 150 products per month. Who sells less, has to resort to the post office. Look like? "asked Flag.
One of the biggest marketplaces in the sector, the Free Market also sees the end of the service concerned.
