Our POS/reservation system handles these "products" to manage for billing, and so we do provide mailing services. The volume is light for simple first class postage (we use a Pitney Bowes machine) so we don't charge the clients anything but the postage. We do forward some mail and packages for those who request and/or aren't in the space frequently enough. For those incidents, we charge a nominal $5 handling charge plus postage/shipping fee.
So yes, we do this despite having a post office 1 block away, mostly as a courtesy.
