Big time saver - Outboxmail

[Lucas Buxman]

Hi gang,

This is like the best service I could have ever hoped for and can't believe it exists.  It has saved us so much time and hassle in the last two months I don't ever want to go back.  These guys pickup our mail out of mailbox a few times a week, scan it, and send me an email when it's time to view it.  I can then either save PDFs, email to someone else, or ask them to send me the hard copies of specific pieces which they dropoff the next day.

They get to recycle the paper and shred the bank statements.  They get to scan all those documents I need for tax season.  They will also unsubscribe me from a particular bulk mailer at the click a button. If a small package is left in the mailbox by USPS then they carry it three flights of stairs up to our unit door and email me to say it's there.  They needed a key to our mailbox but all I had to do was take a picture of the key with my smartphone and email it to them - done.

It only costs $5 a month but I think I told some of you I would pay $50 for this service, if even to avoid having to sort the mail and go through all the piles every week.  A caveat is that they are a startup and have funding that may only last a year or more.  

The founder says their target is busy moms, but I got hooked up through our downstairs neighbor Chris who runs with the startup community and so far it seems like a good idea for busy dads.

Here's the blub they suggested I email with the invite.  They're not taking new signups unless referred by a current user, so you have to click through the link below to signup.

Cheers,

Lucas

Have you heard of Outbox? I'm a customer and think you'd really like it.  I've got a handful of special invitations that get you two free months of Outbox - and I get to send you a NatureBox, an awesome organic snack box, right to your doorstep.   

Outbox is smart postal mail.  Receive, organize, recycle and unsubscribe from your postal mail all from your mobile device without ever visiting your mailbox again. Last week they were in Wired, FastCompany, and TechCrunch.  

Are you in? Click the link below to get your two free months and they'll deliver your NatureBox on your first day of service.

Sincerely, 
Lucas

HI Lucas,

Thanks for this.  I was just commiserating about the piles and piles of unopened mail on my desk with another mom.  Unfortunately, they don't operate in our zip code :(

I also wonder how it would work with our mail box, which is a slot in the garage.  I'll follow their blog to see what I might learn.  Hopefully they'll be active in 94131 soon.

Hope all is well!

Jackie

I traded emails with them and said they're building a waitlist in San Francisco right now.  Must have gotten a stronger number of referrals than they expected.

I don't know how they handle garage slots but it probably involves programming a garage door opener for their own use.  Anyway I hope they get back to you soon.

Cheers,

Lucas

i heard back from them regarding mail slot - apparently they have some sort of contraption that works with garage door mail slots.  So, good news.  Now just need to wait for them to offer the service...
