Outbox co-founder Will Davis realized after moving four times in six years that something needed to be done about the mail. He was tired of losing mail in his moves and having to forward his actual address all the time. That is the foundation behind startup Outbox.
Outbox is essentially a mail intercepting service. Outbox intercepts users mail and then scans their mail and puts it in a digital mailbox. Outbox also forwards packages to a customers home free of charge.
Outbox is great for people like Davis who have moved quite a bit in a shot period of time. It’s also a great idea for frequent travelers. With Outbox you don’t have to worry about missing that important piece of mail or making a return trip to the house just to check the mail. For travelers like myself our home automation system links to my phone so I can keep an eye on the house. Outbox would solve yet another travel related hiccup.
The company hasn’t specified what will happen in the case of checks delivered by US mail. There is a company in San Francisco that allows mailbox renters (like a UPS store) to have their mail digitally delivered. That company can actually electronically deposit checks as well, possibly an option for Outbox.
