What we’re thankful for at Earth Class Mail  As Thanksgiving approaches, we are reminded of all the great things we have here at Earth Class Mail to appreciate: our customers, our team, and places we live around the world.   Given the amazing year we have had thanks to everyone involved, we thought it would be best to give a personal shoutout to the people and places that have kept us going and inspired us this year.  We’re thankful for where we live  Here at Earth Class Mail, we are a tight knit community, but we work in cities all over the world. We stay connected and work together - but each place we work has its benefits.  San Antonio, Texas is our current Earth Class Mail headquarters, and many of our customer support, sales, and management members call this city home. We are always thankful for San Antonio’s lively atmosphere, great food, and beautiful weather year round!  “As a kid, San Antonio was a weekend getaway spot for my family, coming in from West Texas- so for me, it is the nostalgia of the fun weekends we shared together here. I am enamored by the history, architecture and the proud culture. San Antonio is for sure a special place with its own vibe.” - Ashley Earnest, Sales Development Representative Beaverton, Oregon serves as the center for all of our mail operations, while playing a massive part in what we do as a company. It’s also where the company was founded. We are extremely proud and thankful for our operation team’s diligence, speed, and safety when it comes to handling mail for our customers and getting it where it needs to go! Voted one of the best places to live in Oregon, our team there enjoys four beautiful seasons with a spread of tasty local bars and restaurants to enjoy.  “I’m grateful to live in Beaverton because it’s perfectly situated for all the activities you could want to do. You can visit the ocean, go on mountain hikes, and visit the city and it’s all within 30 minutes in any direction,” - Jeff Hoege, General Manager, Operations  Krakow, Poland is home to multiple members of our engineering, marketing and development teams. We are of course very thankful for their software expertise that keeps the Earth Class Mail apps you love up and running daily! Krakow is a rich center for historic architecture and culture, with some great modern spots that make it an amazing home for our team members.  “The more I travel, the more I appreciate Krakow as the place to come back to. Thousands of years of history blends in a unique way with a vibrant startup (and tech overall) scene, fuelled by the top talent attracted by Krakow universities. There is both vibrant nightlife and beautiful quiet parks, great concert venues and theatres, medieval relics are to be found right next to cutting edge modern architecture. Between local artists and those including Krakow on their route, there is always something interesting going on. Get on the market square of the old Jewish Quarter and you will hear every language possible. And when you get tired of the city life, there’s plenty of amazing national parks around and the Tatra Mountains are just a 2 hours drive away.”- Mariusz Woźniak, Director of Product Design

By all accounts, Will Gadea had made it. After starting out working in graphic design and theatre, he found a niche in digital animation and built a thriving business in New York City, where his studio won jobs from clients such as Ford and Verizon.

By all accounts, Will Gadea had made it. After starting out working in graphic design and theatre, he found a niche in digital animation and built a thriving business in New York City, where his studio won jobs from clients such as Ford, Verizon, and Bank of America.  His competitors began outsourcing labor overseas to undercut his costs. Instead of following their lead, he followed the talent more than 5,000 miles away.  In 2019, Gadea and his wife became expats and moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina - a hotbed of animation and design talent that also boasts a warm climate, low cost of living, and breathtaking architecture. Getting out of the New York bustle boosted his quality of life and spending power - but he didn’t necessarily want prospective customers to think they were hiring an overseas company without a U.S. connection.

Six things you’ll thank your virtual mailbox for doing

Why get a virtual business address in Chicago?
Chicago, also known as the “Windy City” or “Second City”, has a rich history of entrepreneurship and technological advancement. It’s the birthplace of mail-order retailing through Sears and Montgomery Ward, the city that gave us the TV remote control from Zenith, and the car radio made by Motorola just to name a few. Chicago is also a dream city for architecture and home to the nation’s first skyscraper. It has been a major artery for the trade industry since the opening of the Illinois & Michigan Canal in 1848. Today it is one of the world’s impressive financial centers, a fast growing business metropolis, and the birthplace of companies like State Farm Insurance, United Airlines, Boeing, and Caterpillar.

__Mark Twain said about Chicago:__

> “It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago. She outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them.”

Earth Class Mail virtual business addresses in Chicago are the ideal way to establish your presence in this major Illinois metro in a cost effective way.
