I can't exactly recommend the service which can be a bit annoying but clicksend allows you to send faxes and actually letters for pretty cheap. the letter thing is pretty nice when something demands a physical one. you upload a pdf and it gets printed and mailed out. fax works same way. fax is way cheaper obviously.

    Why would someone need that instead of just printing it and mailing it themselves?

    just faster. you have to have a printer and paper for it and envelopes and stamps. with the service you just upload the pdf and put in the address and hit send. I mean I think most could see how it can be useful. Bit cheaper to print and fold and seal and stamp and drop in the box but with as unoften as I need to send a physical letter I like it.

    Then you need a printer, printer ink, an envelope, and stamps. If you really don't send mail out that frequently, I can see the appeal of it. Could easily be cheaper. I also imagine it might have some utility to ADHD folks.

    It just occurred to me: I doubt my 26 year old son has ever sent anything in the mail himself. If he wants to send a message, it's email or text, and if he wants to send a gift, he'll order it on Amazon and have it delivered. I'll have to ask him if he's ever actually mailed anything.

    Can't exactly trusr anyone with such sensitive documents that I'd have to print out and mail.
