Mullvad have made it work, but it’s definitely not smooth. I believe their process is to assign a unique ID to your invoice, which you can then write on an envelope stuffed with cash you mail to the correct address. On receipt they match your cash with the invoice and mark it as paid.
- danpalmer 3y agoThis might work but sending cash in the mail is a pretty terrible idea. Most postal services strongly discourage it, or you're using recorded services which are expensive and add all the same tracking issues.
- orhmeh09 3y agoWhich postal services? The USPS doesn't strongly discourage it.
- Wohlf 3y agoThey absolutely do and may refuse to mail it in some cases. It increases the risk of theft astronomically, that's why money orders exist.

- phpisthebest 3y agoPostal services deny liability. If you send cash and it is stolen you can not sue or get redress from the postal system
- tylersmith 3y agoYou can insure up to $50k when sending cash through USPS.
- bombcar 3y agoThey all say that but it works fine for smaller dollar amounts (say under $100).

- tanseydavid 3y agoIf you tell the USPS that you are sending cash, they will not accept it for delivery. I found this out the hard way trying to overnight about $500 cash to a family member.
