Expatriates Rave about Earth Class Mail

Globetrotting employees of well known companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Starwood and more use Earth Class Mail to get their postal mail online. Read on to hear what they have to say.


"My daughter is in graduate school in London, and she loves the fact that no matter where she moves while in school or in job changes afterward, she can continue to have the same address. And she gets information much faster and less expensively than with mail forwarding. My son is in the Navy, and he's able to get the 'mailbag’ a lot sooner than his shipmates!

"So how did we ever get along without you?!"

– S. Harmon and Family (D.H., R.H. Sr., R.H. Jr., and J.T.)!


"I was abroad from January till July of 2005. During that time, I received some ‘Time Sensitive Mail.’ It did not reach me until I returned to the US.

"The end result was: I lost services and benefits that I have had for years. Re-application is a bureaucratic nightmare! I contacted the Mail-Forwarding Service I have been using for the past 10 years. They told me that Scanning Mail was not available through them.

"Although I am not often abroad, I am away from my local mail service quite often. On occasion, I do receive time sensitive snail-mail. I'll be totally retired soon, probably spending more time abroad, and this service is exactly what I was looking for!

"I am so optimistic about Earth Class Mail that I have already been recommending it to others!"

– Theodore S


"We moved overseas and are using it to monitor, manage and forward our mail. I really like the idea of being able manage all of the junk mail we got in the States this way."

– Jenny Sader, Germany


"The leaders of SlimSoft lead a pretty nomadic life. We have embraced the virtual office concept for all of our employees. With companies in 3 different countries and employees spread all over the world, one of the biggest challenges we've had has been figuring out what to do with our paper mail.

"Most parts of running a virtual office have been solved by technology for some time. We can do all our banking online, including wiring money around, and our phone system is based on VoIP, which means it follows us anywhere, and many of our customers now pay their invoices by wire payments.

"But up until now, we have continued to struggle with paper based mail. If we are away on an extended trip when this happens, it is sometimes too late to deal with by the time we return.

"Earth Class Mail online po box and mail forwarding completely solves our paper-based mail dilemma! They scan the envelope and place the scanned image into a secure web portal for us to review. We also receive an email notifying us that new mail has arrived. We can then look at the envelope image and decide what to do with the mail item. We can recycle it if we know it is junk mail, package it up with other items and forward it to wherever we are via either overnight, or slower if appropriate, or best of all, request it to be opened and scanned.

"We can now handle any important mail in days, rather than weeks, regardless of if we are in Vancouver, Costa Rica, or anywhere else in the world!"

– Andrew Waycott, SlimSoft


"The timeliness of receiving the scanned documents in Hong Kong is great!"

– Herbert Gasser, Hong Kong
