Read what they have to say about the convenience of Earth Class Mail -
"What we’d done in the past with our mail was incredibly cumbersome. Earth Class Mail offers a great alternative, and it’s reassuring to know we’re dealing with a large, reputable organization that has detailed security precautions in place. The ability to see our mail online is priceless, we rarely need to have anything shipped to us, and we feel more comfortable than ever before. I tell all my expat friends about Earth Class Mail — it meets our needs perfectly."
— Judi Frank, La Paz, Mexico
"I have moved 10 times during the past decade, and with Earth Class Mail I never lose track of my postal mail. I don’t have to worry about things getting lost or the reliability of mail forwarding and I can see it from anywhere. It’s nice to bring my postal mail into a world as manageable as email."
— Ben Singer, Chicago
"Earth Class Mail has given me peace of mind I never had before when I was on the road — it’s really helped me tie up those troublesome loose ends. I’d recommend it to anyone who travels, not just the consummate road-warrior like myself."
— Terry Haas, Seattle
"I just accepted a new job in another state. Since I have no idea where I will be living, this service is the perfect solution! It's great to know that my postal mail will be seamlessly delivered to me online - no matter where I choose to live!"
— Laura Riley, San Francisco
"It’s brilliant. Earth Class Mail has done more than solve my mail dilemma — it’s become a core component of the unique way I’ve decided to live my life. ... Not only has it eliminated the stress of missing an important piece of mail, it has allowed me to digitally store documents. I now know where everything is, and I’m free to focus on my new career."
— Christine Gilbert, Freelance Writer/Photographer
"When I first heard about Earth Class Mail from a fellow expat here in Buenos Aires — he told me about it even before we left — I could scarcely believe such a perfect solution to my needs existed. In fact, I initially accused my friend of making it up because it seemed too good to be true. Once I signed up for the service and got started with it, it was obvious that not only was Earth Class Mail a real service but one that was going to deliver on the hopes I held out for it. ... I have found Earth Class Mail to be key to making my transition to an expat life smooth and highly functional. It makes me wonder what expatriates in my situation did before Earth Class Mail came along!"
— Douglas Choi, Argentina
"I was wavering back and forth between your company and another company. The other company has sent zero confirmation e-mails, and hasn't answered any of my e-mails in two days. Your company sent me two confirmation e-mails, and the one today from your customer service department made me feel all the more confident in your company and security.Thank you so much for your excellent service."
— Tracy
"The convenience and timeliness is simply incalculable. I talk with Americans here in Singapore a lot, and whenever I tell them about Earth Class Mail their eyes light up. People with a new address, or addresses that change frequently, they immediately see the value of this service.
"I hate paper, and the idea of that pile of mail we had to sort and deal with at home simply traveling across the world to land on my table in Singapore — that was ridiculous. Earth Class Mail is immensely important to me as an American abroad, but I’m not going to give up the benefits of it when we go back to the States. It’s eliminated a headache from my life."
— Nancy Haferman, Singapore
"Earth Class Mail has become a godsend for our family. Just as most people these days can't imagine how they ever managed without a cell phone, none of us can remember how we got along without Earth Class Mail. My aunt now uses it instead of driving 30 miles to a p.o. box that she was never sure even contained anything she wanted!
"My husband is on the road a lot, and he can see and respond to his mail immediately while taking from me the burden of sifting through it (and calling him to read it to him!). When we go on vacation, we don't have to bother anyone else with monitoring our mail (or retrieving it to make it look like we're home!), and yet we also don't have to worry that we'll miss an important notice or be considered rude in getting back to someone who wrote us a letter!
"My daughter is in graduate school in London, and she loves the fact that no matter where she moves while in school or in job changes afterward, she can continue to have the same address. And she gets information much faster and less expensively than with mail forwarding. My son is in the Navy, and he's able to get the "mailbag" a lot sooner than his shipmates!
"So how did we ever get along without you?!"
-- S.Harmon and Family (D.H., R.H. Sr., R.H. Jr., and J.T.)!
"I spent hours on the Internet search engines. Ever narrowing and narrowing my search, until I found it.
"I have been looking for almost a year. I was abroad from January till July of 2005. During that time, I received some "Time Sensitive Mail." It did not reach me until I returned to the US.
"The end result was: I lost services and benefits that I have had for years. Re-application is a bureaucratic nightmare! I contacted the Mail-Forwarding Service I have been using for the past 10 years. They told me that Scanning Mail was not available through them.
"Although I am not often abroad, I am away from my local mail service quite often. On occasion, I do receive time sensitive snail-mail. I'll be totally retired soon, probably spending more time abroad, and this service is exactly what I was looking for!
"I am so optimistic about Earth Class Mail that I have already been recommending it to others!"
— Theodore S
"Earth Class Mail has allowed me to be dramatically more organized and has therefore greatly improved my productivity. We’ve reduced paperwork to the point where I hardly ever print anything. I’ve told my subcontractors, if they want to get paid they must use my Earth Class Mail account; I save all of my important mailed documents on my computer and I never have to waste hours looking for an invoice. Earth Class Mail has changed the way I do business. It’s made my life a lot easier and I wouldn’t give it up for the world."
Marc Wilson

"The service is simply fantastic. The ‘Less is More’ philosophy of Savvy Solutions meshes perfectly with Earth Class Mail. We’ve been able to dramatically reduce the amount of paper in the office and the amount of time it takes to deal with it. As a small business, we’re always watching costs, and Earth Class Mail helps immensely since we don’t need to pay for an administrator or an expensive office suite. I can now download all my important mail from wherever I am, store it on my computer, and even forward documents to my accountant. I recommend Earth Class Mail to all my clients — it’s a simple, elegant organizational tool even Martha Stewart would love."

"It may seem like this is something you could ask your mum to do for you, but there are many benefits we’ve discovered that go way beyond simple mail-forwarding. It’s helped me in my efforts to go paperless; I now have digital records of all my mail, which for someone who moves around as much as I do is a huge plus. I changed my life when I decided to live the Location Independent Lifestyle, and Earth Class Mail has made it easier for me to remain independent while I provide the same level of service to my clients as I would were I at a permanent base."
Lea Woodward

"I couldn't be more delighted with the service! Apart from the many advantages that the service provides to us, it also permits me to offer another benefit to the client."

"The leaders of SlimSoft lead a pretty nomadic life. We have embraced the virtual office concept for all of our employees. With companies in 3 different countries and employees spread all over the world, one of the biggest challenges we've had has been figuring out what to do with our paper mail.
"Most parts of running a virtual office have been solved by technology for some time. We can do all our banking online, including wiring money around, and our phone system is based on VoIP, which means it follows us anywhere, and many of our customers now pay their invoices by wire payments.
"But up until now, we have continued to struggle with paper based mail. If we are away on an extended trip when this happens, it is sometimes too late to deal with by the time we return.
"Earth Class Mail online po box and mail forwarding completely solves our paper-based mail dilemma! They scan the envelope and place the scanned image into a secure web portal for us to review. We also receive an email notifying us that new mail has arrived. We can then look at the envelope image and decide what to do with the mail item. We can recycle it if we know it is junk mail, package it up with other items and forward it to wherever we are via either overnight, or slower if appropriate, or best of all, request it to be opened and scanned.
"We can now handle any important mail in days, rather than weeks, regardless of if we are in Vancouver, Costa Rica, or anywhere else in the world!"
-- Andrew Waycott, SlimSoft Proficy Service
"As we aim to improve the cost, choice, and convenience of health benefits for small businesses, Concero is always looking for ways to reduce the cost of doing business. We are tremendously excited about using DCI's unique capabilities to reduce the high cost of paper processing still required in the healthcare environment. Their zero up-front pricing model fits with our view of the way the software world is moving towards Saas (like Concero itself)."
-- Alan Shiffer, CEO, Concero Group
"We are excited to be a customer of Earth Class Mail. We believe that a digital mail intake/document management system is going to be a strong component in the growth of our outsourced accounting firm, and we are looking forward to introducing it to all of our clients."
-- Karen Northup, CEO, Corefino
"In any business today it is essential to establish appropriate records retention and document destruction policies even if the documents aren't currently subject to Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, or similar regulations. Email and other media are now relatively easy to archive in a compliant manner, but dealing with paper records -- particularly documents delivered by mail -- remains an arduous task. Earth Class Mail makes it easy to comply while simultaneously reducing the real costs of document handling, which should be extremely compelling to businesses of all sizes and across all industries."
-- Mike Fowler, Partner, Tatum Partners
