Mail to Email
A company that takes your mail and sends it to your email address. | |
A company thats sole job is to take all of your mail and convert it to email and send it to you. Any money or checks found in it would either be relayed to your real mail address or delivered to you an epayment.
The hardest task would be opening the letters. Then sliding the letter for address to
email processing. Then sliding in the mail itself to be scanned converted to text & images and sent.
Reasons this would fail is that most mail is junkmail, all bills are done online anyways, and music birthday cards will not be heard.

I started an idea on benefits for workers and salary sacrifice schemes but these guys seem to have already done it! [webman, Jun 01 2011]

I think I've misunderstood this, you seem to think musical birthday cards not being heard is a bad thing. |
|
| |
The idea is very simple. Of the "why didn't I think of that" variety. A sign of genius, if you ask me. |
|
| |
Then I started thinking what exactly it would mean if I can just nail my postal receiving thingy (sorry, not native english) in the door shut. And never receive mail again. Instead I receive everyhing through g-mail. |
|
| |
Just great. I look forward to more of your ideas. |
|
| |
nice one [flouger], welcome to the halfbakery btw. |
|
| |
wow.. I just realised that this would mean junk mail would now probably be detectable as spam. |
|
| |
Erm, does this mean that the earrings, scarves & miscellany I recieve from my aunt are now virtual? It's fine; they're invariably hideous, but she does like to see me in them... |
|
| |
You mean like someone scans your mail, converts it into a handy digital format and sends it to you. Baked. See link. |
|
| |
Even though it is baked, I will bun it. Even though I'd probably never use it, I will bun it again. Personally I like the excitement of getting that unexpected package or that surprise letter in the mail and running all the way back into the house in anticipation of opening it. |

What about my (I mean my wife's) Martha Stewart Living magazine? |
|
| |
if you get a white powder in your envelope, do they send you a virus? :) [+] |
|

Wait... if I receive a catalog, someone has to unstaple it, scan in all 100 pages and then email it to me? What about magazines? |
