Villayet set up a "small post office" in Paris, and also set up post office boxes in the streets to collect and deliver letters every day. Villayet sends out letters to users using a label called Prepaid Postage. The sender covers or affixes the prepaid certificate to the envelope, dates the letter and places it in the mailbox.
