Traveling Mailbox Review – Snail Mail & Paper Checks in the 21st Century
Traveling Mailbox – You’ve Got Mail (photo credit)
Nearly 45 years ago the first email was sent. Around the same time, banks began transferring money electronically.
So it makes perfect sense that in the year Two Thousand and Sixteen we still chop down trees, process them into paper, print words on them, load them on to trucks and airplanes, move them around the world, and then pay people to carry them to our door through rain, sleet, & snow… where we drop them into the trash.
I’ve done my best to avoid this whole mess by opting out of all paper mail, and exclusively using email and online tools. Still, the USPS only cares about their main revenue source (bulk mailers), the IRS and other government agencies like licking stamps, and credit cards are physical (for now.) And some companies (even pure online businesses) are in love with paper checks, even though they cost more than ACH transfers.
So for the last few months we’ve been processing all of our mail with Traveling Mailbox.
