tracing your letter

手紙を追跡する

9 September 2011, Croatia
’20 Years of Postage Stamps of The Republic of Croatia’
design: Nikola Žinić & Davor Bruketa

This one has the simplest design amongst QR stamps – and it allows you to track the journey of your letter.  The QR takes you to the Croatian Post website, where the sender types the unique number on the stamp, then the receiver logs-in to tell the sender when it has arrived.  Yes, it is a new trial and I wonder how many people will actually use this function?  On the ‘Latest Activity’ section of the web site, it says one letter was posted 3 weeks ago and had not yet arrived to its destination.

クロアチアから出ているこれが、QRコード切手の中では一番シンプルで、しかも手紙を追跡する機能がついています。コードをスキャンして出てくるクロアチア郵便局のHPに切手下方に印刷された固有ナンバーを入れると、その切手が貼られた手紙の投函場所と到着までの距離がわかる、という仕組み。ただ、この機能を使う人がどれくらいいるかは疑問です。上記HPの「最新の動き」には、3週間前に投函されて以来まだ届いた記録のないものが載ってるのだけど、、。
