A family member asked me how we’re going to get our mail while we’re out wandering around the country. At first at thought about getting a P.O. box and then having family check it every week and mail us the import stuff. That was until I came across this really cool service:

This is probably one of the coolest way to completely rethink snail mail. All your snail mail is received and the envelopes scanned and their images put into your inbox. You log in, look at the envelopes and select the ones you want them to open, scan completely and email to you. You can also select pieces of mail to be shredded, recycled or forwarded to wherever you currently are. Their plans start at $10 a month and will give us piece of mind knowing we won’t be without old-fashioned snail mail while we’re on the road.

I used to use a service back in the 90s called PayMyBills.com that handled your bill payments. You would change your billing address on your accounts to a special address they gave you and they would process all your incoming invoices, statements, etc. I’d log into the website, see scans of all my bills and then pay them electronically through a check they would print and mail. Now I pay all my bills online with a debit card, but PayMyBills.com was so cool for the 90s.
