San Francisco is experimenting with Zumbox.com for paperless mail delivery. Zumbox is a secure e-mail service that allows senders to contact people online using their street address. Mail is scanned and goes into your online mailbox.
Individuals and Households may send postcards, letters, and other mailings to 50 street addresses each month at no cost. The service costs less than postage when sending more mail, at 5 cents per e-mail. It also saves the trees and recycling costs.
The advantages of this are that you can check your mail anytime from any computer, take control of your mail, reduce clutter, and store your mail safely and securely. They mail you a security code to ensure privacy.
