I would pay for this, at times. All of my mail is delivered to my box at a post office about 15 minutes from my home. I normally only check it once every week or two. When I'm expecting something important, however, I may make a trip there once a day for a few days in a row until it arrives.
I wouldn't pay for it all the time as 98% of what I receive isn't really "time-sensitive" or all that important (mostly it's just bills that I pay online anyways), but for those times like I mentioned above I'd gladly pay a few bucks for the service.
Of course, since it's not unusual for me to end up with other people's mail in my mailbox, I'm expecting there to be some "privacy violations" that come out of this as well.
- jjp 11y agoThank you. I was struggling to identify with a user story of why a scan of an envelope that was going to be delivered later today was of benefit to somebody.
- ikeboy 11y agoThere's no privacy violations that happen that wouldn't have happened otherwise, right? If it was in your mail, you had access anyway.
- jlgaddis 11y agoThey could accidentally send my images to you but still deliver my mail correctly.
- NIL8 11y agoHow do they determine/handle junk mail? Does this increase/decrease cost?
- jlgaddis 11y agoPresumably, it would be treated the same as any other mail. I receive perhaps one legitimate piece of mail per month in my mailbox at home, yet every time I open the mailbox, it is stuffed full of junk mail. I've asksd ny carrier to not place the junk mail in my box but she informed me that she has to. The senders are paying them to deliver it, so they do -- leaving me to have to constantly check the mailbox and throw it all away.
- NIL8 11y agoI'm all too familiar with this :(
