I have missed the start of this discussion, but the Dutch postal system offers
such a service; it is called 'rembours'. Judging by its name it is at least
available in france, and most likely in all european countries. Rembours to the
USA or COD from the USA may not be possible, though; post office people are
still somewhat surprised to hear that there is life outside europe.
