For EU mainly, US had some alternatives like these, but they seemed to be shut down due to legal issues.

A place where I, or anyone trying to contact me, can send snail mail to. These then get scanned and forwarded to mail mailbox and/or dropbox and/or stored online with an OCR PDF.

This would allow me to a) send my bills, invoices there b) able to move house more easily without having to keep track of address changes.



Swiss Post Box fit your criteria https://www.post.ch/en/customer-center/all-online-services/s... .


In Finland the local Post's service is quite popular: http://www.posti.fi/private/servicesonline/netposti/index.ht... My mailbox is usually filled only with ads.

This has caused during that snailmail delivery will be only 1-2 times a week, when it now is every workingday.


I've been using Swiss Post Box for years for this. Does exactly what you asked for and gives me an address in Switzerland, Germany and Italy.


This exists in Germany: https://www.dropscan.de


That's really cool! Are there alternatives for other countries?


EarthClass Mail does that.


Looks like they have more than a few unhappy customers: http://www.yelp.com/biz/earth-class-mail-san-francisco-2


What about a P.O. Box and a TaskRabbit?
