What if you never had to open your physical mail? What if you could just open your email box and find scanned versions of everything that was mailed to you?
Banks already auto-process mail for large organizations, depositing checks and scanning documents for them. This would be the same service at your house. It would filter the junk mail for you, and send you scans of the rest of the mail.
The challenging element of this is that certain types of mail (letters from your grandmother, magazines, etc.) would still need to arrive at your house.
Here's how I think it would have to work. The company gets your consent to forward all of your mail to it address instead of your house. Then they process all of the mail and send you scans each day. Every other day or so, the company sends you personal cards, magazines and packages.
Even better, what if the post office started to offer this service? Then no forwarding would be necessary.
I can see how this might be worth $10-20 a month.
