Is it them that sending the mail or us? cos if its them then the sender address would have to be their sender address right? wouldn't that be falsifying information to put your address as the sender but it actually sent thousand miles away from you? Am I missing something here?

I am not sure if i would use it day to day but i think its such an awesome option to have when you are on the run. I know sometime i have to drive 3 miles just to get one stamp so I sent a thank you card. So even though day to day i will stick with regular mail, I am really glad that now i know there are other options! Great Post!

This is actually not true in every city or at every residence, where I live I can’t send outgoing mail from my home and there’s no mailboxes I have to go to the post office and put it in the box there.

Thanks for this review, seems like a convenient option.

Well…as a graphic designer & Army wife currently stationed in Korea (where you’re only alloted one car, which the hubby drives to work since we live off-base)this would be a great service.

I’m assuming the mail is sent from a stateside address which means it would get to my stateside clients that much faster.

Thanks for the find!

Interesting article but it not a new service, PC2Paper do this in the UK and L-mail in the US, both have been going as far back as 2002.

Great! Another reason not to get up off my chair and get some exercise. No need to walk to the corner mailbox anymore. *sigh*

I post letters so rarely that I often don’t have stamps or envelopes, so I can see it being useful for those few occasions when I need to post something.

Seems rather ridiculous to me. Especially if you have a printer.

And you don’t have to drive to the post office to mail a letter. They will pick up outgoing mail from your home mailbox (and if you live in an apartment building, there should be an outgoing mail slot). Or you can walk to a corner mailbox (if they still exist in your neighborhood; they recently removed mine) and not have to worry about carbon offsets.
