Step 1. First, sign up. For tips on which service to sign up for, see "Should I sign up to use the service for residential or business (organizational) use?" above. You'll be asked for credit card information and your choice of Remote Addresses, among other things.

Step 2. You will receive another email with a link to instructions for letting others know about your new Earth Class Mail account number, how to begin redirecting your mail to your Earth Class Mail account (usually by notifying mailers, not by a global change of address with the U.S. Postal Service), and how to fill out a Form 1583. For more information, go to Redirecting Your Mail.

Step 3. Log in to your account at the Earth Class Mail customer-account website and view your mail! When you log into your account, you'll be able to add the names of other people in your account who will receive mail at your address.

It's that simple!

Your basic options with any piece of mail are to (1) have us ship the mail to you, either by itself or grouped with other mail, (2) click the “Shred” or “Recycle” button and we'll take care of it, or (3) have us scan and show the contents of your mail to you online, in PDF format.
