The coolest thing I saw in this area was when I was in South Africa.
It was called the "Freedom Toaster":

Think of it like a vending machine for open source software.  Useful
in populated areas where bandwidth is low.

But for mail order, I don't know of one.  But this could be something
for Amazon to think about.  They recently did a thing where they would
rip music CD's that you purchase and give you the MP3's as well.  Why
not offer to mail media for the downloadable software they already
offer? (They already offer downloads of AOO 3.4.1).
