Here is Why You Need One","gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"text"}]},"content":{"rendered":"

Everyone has a mailbox.\u00a0 A lot of time it gets crammed full of junk mail that gets brought into our homes and businesses and someone needs to sit and sort through all of it just to find the pieces of important mail.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If this is a business or a home with multiple people the task is even larger because there is more mail to sort and then there is delivering the mail to the different people or setting it aside for each person.<\/p>\n

Then there is the junk mail some can be easily recycled, but some of it really should be shredded to protect sensitive information from identity theft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now that doesn\u2019t need to be done daily, but if you let it pile up too much it will become too much of a chore.<\/p>\n

The question then becomes how often does it need to be done? and who has to do it? and if it\u2019s a house you may argue over it like taking out the trash.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s a business you may have a service that does the shredding and that\u2019s great, but you likely pay by the pound and that mail is likely going to end up costing your company over time.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another bad thing about regular mail that everyone has faced at least once and likely much more often than that.<\/p>\n

You know something important is coming in the mail maybe it\u2019s an invoice for your side business you have been expecting or maybe you are waiting on an insurance check from the fender bender you were in last month.<\/p>\n

While you are at work you can\u2019t help but wonder if today is the day that mail has arrived and you can\u2019t just go check either. Well if you had an online mailbox<\/a> it would be as easy as logging into an email account.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then there’s the question of what you are going to do about your mail when you are on vacation?<\/p>\n

Are you going to bother a friend, family member, or neighbor to come by and collect it daily for you?<\/p>\n

Or are you going to risk letting it sit there for a few days at a time or worse let it sit there for the whole week or 2 and hope no takes notice and steals your mail and possibly your identity?
