The UK’s Royal Mail makes some 40 million unsuccessful first-time delivery attempts per year, causing no end of hassle for the consumers waiting to receive those packages. At the same time, Britain is losing about 52 of its pubs per week to recession-induced closures. Taken together, those two statistics underlie the creation of UseYourLocal , a new service backed by British brewer Scottish & Newcastle that facilitates package delivery to the local pub.

We’ve seen an increasing number of sharing platforms appear over the years, as consumers seek to lend and borrow rarely used items while earning and saving some extra cash. NeighborGoods and StuffPal are two efforts we’ve seen designed to facilitate such exchanges, and recently we came across another: Share Some Sugar . Now in beta, Ohio-based Share Some Sugar aims to enable neighbors to “share what you have and borrow what you need”. Toward that end, owners and borrowers both begin by signing up with the site and creating a profile, including the neighborhood in which they live. Owners also indicate what kinds of items they have to share and the rates they’d like to be paid by those who borrow them. Those in search of a particular object can then search the site by ZIP code and item.
