Get A Ghost Address

Reading time: 5 – 8 minutes

EARTH CLASS MAIL.  WOW.  Rarely do I come across a good or service with as much utility and value for the cost.  I have now been using Earth Class Mail for over a year.  I am extremely satisfied and highly recommend this business and personal necessity for many reasons.

PRIVACY.  Perhaps the best benefit is increased privacy along with the time savings and convenience.  Next is being able to have a street address in Oregon which assesses no sales tax.  For example, if you order a laptop you will pay about $300 in sales tax.  Shipped to Oregon you pay nothing!  Of course, see the section on sales and use tax near the conclusion.

Plus the packages are always delivered so no more waiting around for the Fedex or UPS man.  The packages are shipped from Earth Class Mail via Fedex and easily tracked.  This can help you become location independent.

CONSTANT ‘GHOST’ ADDRESS. A constant physical address and superb mail anonymity service increases your privacy and helps protect your financial affairs. Soon addresses in Europe will be available including Switzerland. Not only will this protect your privacy and save money but also your FICO score may increase as your location independence is achieved.

QUICK SHIPMENTS. You are able to determine what goes into each shipment and then mail it anywhere or to anyone via USPS, Fedex or UPS.

REDUCE EXPENSES. When receiving shipments it can often be expensive to be there when the delivery service is.  If you miss the delivery then it takes time and money to go pick up the package.  Sales tax can also be a substantive and material cost.  With a physical address in Beaverton, Oregon 97005 where packages may be signed for, delivered and forwarded via FedEx you can eliminate all of these hassles. Additionally, Oregon does not assess sales or use tax.

BE GREEN. The use of Earth Class Mail reduces the amount of transportation expenses used in delivering your mail.  Mail can also be easily and efficiently shredded or recycled.  Be green for the environment and save money!

INSURANCE. ID Theft is a major concern.  An ounce of prevention can be worth a pound of cure. With Earth Class Mail you do not need to worry about the security of your mailbox. If you are gone for a significant period of time you do not need to get a hold on your mail or worry about it piling up in your box or at the post office. Plus, you are ensured continuity in the event of a disaster. This makes Earth Class Mail a great form of insurance to provide for stable handling of your postal mail. 

CONVENIENT. When I first got Earth Class Mail I had a lot of fun with the novelty of receiving and reading my postal mail while being hundreds of miles away.  Being location independent was handy but not really essential.

But I did not notice the true value until I was on a trip to South America for a two months.  During that time I received a new debit card, a new credit card, lots of paperwork for taxes as it was that time of year and even a few packages.  Knowing that all of this was safe and secure while I was thousands of miles away helped me enjoy my trip even more.   Even if you do not save on the sales tax aspects with purchases or by avoiding ID Theft there is still this increased benefit of convenience and peace of mind.

JUNK MAIL. Earth Class Mail helps you reduce and eliminate junk mail.  They will be implementing processes where they will contact senders you specify to remove you from the list.  This saves a lot of time and as we all know time is money!

EASY TO USE INTERFACE.  The interface when you login is easy to use and helps save you time by organizing your postal mail like you would organize email.

MINOR DOWNSIDES.  There are some minor downsides.  The cost of about $20 per month.  Currently addresses are only available in the United States.  But I am excited about the announcement of overseas addresses such as Switzerland and wish they were operational now.  There is a check deposit service but it seems fairly expensive ($1.60 per check and an expensive Wells Fargo bank account is needed) but the fee may be acceptable to establish your location independence.  Finally, currently the registered agent service is limited to states where I would not want to be incorporated.

SALES AND USE TAX.  States may have a ‘sales & use tax’ you are required to remit even if you make a purchase out of state.  Of course, learn and follow all applicable law.
CONCLUSION.  I rate Earth Class Mail an 8.5/10, think this is a service everyone can benefit from and highly recommend you open an account today.
