  • what's an envelope company?

    are you drunk?
  • sorry i was in a rush only just realised that makes no sense.

    I meant these envelope stuffing and typing documents at home home companies.

    Most i seen seem to be scams but if there is a genuine one id love to know because it would be perfect for me.

    Pls pls if anyone knows of any can you let me know,

    Don't think there are any, not when machines can envelope/frank and bulk sort for postage discounts at a rate of 1,000's per hour.
    Same with anything like this though, if you are working for them they pay you-you do not give them money to work with them.

    i think years ago you could find a genuine company doing this, but now it all seems like scams,

    work that i have done from home before.

    making christmas crackers:eek: worked all week for £20, the company i worked for now imports them

    making bows, this was very low paid too, pay depended on the type of bow made. these were for boxes of chocolates and gifts for high street stores.

    made door latches, this was for a local engerneering firm, this was paid per latch, again ahrd work, and really did need to be fast to make any good money.

    oooo ye and peeled sprouts for a local company:eek: but this was years ago, so i should imagine this would not be allowed now


    all i can say is to anyone wanting to have a genuine home work job, is do some local reasearch companies. i would say within 25 - 40 miles, and think of things that could be done at home. also ask around...

    i should imagine small fiddley packing things would be good for home workers,

    its awfull to say, but these types of jobs you will be hard pushed to make min pay per hour, but for me it was all about getting some sort of money, and still being at home for my kids..

    The main way of making money from home now...

    is ebay, internet ...text/chat lines etc

    edit.... also electrical harness firms etc.... some times do home work.... so if you phone companies, and they say thy dont do out-work, why not suggest to them, that it could be a good idea, as you get paid per piece, not per hour
    Work to live= not live to work
