Christine -
This is a great find (and very timely for my family!) I'm signing up today, so tell Earth Class you've already made one sale for them!

Figuring out what to do about this is on my list. Sounds like a good service...but I may still make my home official mail opener.

I meant my mom, not my home.

What a fabulous idea. I would have had no idea this existed and I, too, was planning the 'asking a friend' route of mail management. I will have to investigate.

Christine-

GREAT, GREAT post! How useful! I've been fined by the IRS, had my cell phone turned off, and gone into utilities arrears because I got mail too late despite all my best efforts. Thanks for this info, Christine!

How much do I wish this was around when I was traveling around Europe for two months! This looks like a great service that I will definitely be using when we do our dream round the world trip sometime! :-)

Great to hear about your adventures in Spain... and although I didn't comment on the previous post... I loved the picture of the DJ (a woman DJ at that, very cool!).

Great post! Totally forgot about my mail before coming here to Stockholm for 2.5 months.

Oh boy.....

Well, I have to say that my mother is going to be holding my mail. Wait, I get my statements online, nevermind! Although she'll be holding my mail when I send back a few bottles of wine in Mendoza...

Great info, Christine. If I had mail (or any thread of a life in North America) I'd look this firm up in a heartbeat. I will certainly recommend it to my colleagues.

Wow--this is too cool.

BTW, love the new header! It's so inspiring to see someone who's living their dream. I can't wait until my blog is "now in Europa."

Great post! I was wondering who will be taking care of my mail when I leave for my trip (a way away, but this is one thing to consider when planning:)). I would definitely consider this service! Thanks!

I'm ashamed to admit that at my age my mother still holds my mail for me while I'm in France...this service looks fabulous and I had never heard of it before. Thanks for talking about it, Christine. I will definitely look into it the next time I plan to be overseas for an extended period of time.

Did you get a P.O. box address with them or a physical street address? If you got the P.O.B. option...do banks or CC companies give you any grief about mailing to a POB?

Absolute genius! I love cleverness that's useful.

Christine, now that you've been at it ove a month, how do you feel about Earth Class Mail in practise? I've been keeping an eye on services like this, and your opinion will help us make up our mind =]

Hello! Does anyone know of any other proivers that do this? It sounds like a great idea, but I'd like to compare prices... not sure if it's too early for "competition" in this area. Thanks!

Neil · 1 year ago

Kitty, not exactly the same thing (I haven't got around to looking at this exact type of service, although I know there are a couple), but a short time ago, I approached the USPS about the ability to pay for a 'virtual address'. What I wanted to do was essentially be able to rent an address that would work through the mail-forwarding system, and just be a year-round mail-forward to wherever I entered into the system.

USPS replied back that they have a system like that in research/development, but weren't very helpful on any details.

Might be worth keeping an eye out for. If it turns out well, it should work really well for longer-stay travels.

I would rather just stay out of the loop for a while!
