Problem
When travelling, I don’t have an address near me where I could receive mail, and if the mail is received to the previous address, I cannot forward it to wherever I am currently located. I either need to rent an apartment or ask a friend/family to receive my mail for me.
Target audience
- Full-time RVers
- Digital nomads and people who often change their location
- Businesses that don’t have offices but need an international address, e.g. in US
Solution
A platform that brings together people with a need to have their mail scanned or forwarded (service consumer) and people who want to earn side income by making their home address available to received mail for others and forward it (service provider)
Receive mail anywhere in the world, and forward it anywhere in the world.
What is wrong with the existing alternatives
- Poor user experience and customer service
- Existing solutions are too expensive and/or have a complicated pricing structure
- Shredding and recycling costs money?!!
- Many services only offer address in specific countries (mostly US), so worldwide coverage is nearly nonexistent.
- Monthly subscription gives you one specific address and is usually costly ($10/month but oftentimes higher)
Competition
Why is this solution better
- Anybody in the world could register their address to receive mail for other people — this instantly gives worldwide coverage and scalability
- No monthly subscription, pay as you go for actions performed with your mail: forwarding, scanning, shredding, etc
- Lower prices because there’ll be no cost associated with renting a physical space or hiring employees
