Pro-tip for HNers which journalists don’t seem to understand yet: if you see a company using 548 Market St as a mailing address, that is almost certainly their EarthClassMail serviced inbox, not their actual office address.
(This is entirely legitimate, and common for companies big and small. Cryptocurrency companies don’t want anyone breaking into their office to grab crypto or attempt to strongarm staff into reversing e.g. a risk or compliance decision. Many companies are similar. VaccinateCA used the same address on all our paperwork so that anti-vaxxers didn’t show up at the WFH offices of organizers. And you don’t even need a reason for doing this; the convenience of it is very high. Decoupling mailing address from physical locations will save you so, so much pain in a few years when you inevitably move offices and realize there are 100+ organizations that need to have an accurate address on file.)
- Operyl 5y agoI thought this address looked familiar, it is! EarthClassMail is an incredibly useful service and I recommend it entirely, used it for a small thing I ran a while back.
- xyst 5y agocool service - bookmarking this. I notice they do not have locations in all major cities though (missing Austin, TX).
- mardifoufs 5y agoThat means they have to deal with all kind of crazy people. Scapegoat-as-a-service is unironically a great idea
