Snail Mail Goes High Tech: Remote Control Mail Service

Almost all communications paths today are mobile. Email, faxes, cellular phones, wireless internet, GPS can all travel with you keeping you connected. The only thing that seems to tie us down to a specific location is actual mail. Document Command's Remote Control Mail service now makes antiquated snail mail mobile with a variety of services for modern nomads.

If you travel for work, live abroad or take lots of vacations you may already know that the traditional mail forwarding services are a bit behind the times. The USPS offers a mail forwarding service but the cost is fairly high and they don't forward to foreign destinations.

Post office boxes are secure but if they fill up someone has to keep the postal workers happy by doing a regular check-in. And the USPS only holds mail for thirty day periods, hardly enough time to get acquainted with the locals or see all the sights on your world adventure tours.

Of course there are reliable neighbors and administrative staff who can step in but how long can you rely on the kindness of friends or employees? Plus it's hard to delegate sorting through your mail without actually seeing it. What if the item is translated incorrectly and an important notice is thrown out.

Besides with private email, faxes and computer voice mailboxes, when was the last time you had to rely on an actual person to keep you up to date with your own communication?

Remote Control Mail stands out as a 21^st century mail service. Just like email, your postal mail can be instantly reviewed online from anywhere in the world. You can see what's there and decide what's important to keep, forward or shred. Remote Control Mail even allows you to see the contents of your mail if you choose.

Remote Control Mail works by you choosing a DCI Remote Address and having selected mail sent to the service. You can choose to send whatever you like and you can choose to have certain mail delivered to your home like magazines or packages.

Remote Control Mail will pick up your mail from the Post Office daily, scan all the envelopes and deliver the scanned images to you online.

You can choose to have mail forwarded, shredded, recycled or stored in an archive. Remote Control Mail will store the original document, digital copy or both.

The service is ideal for people who travel often, especially for work. It allows a permanent address for mail without the need to physically be there to open documents. Pilots, students, military personnel, missionaries, athletes and expatriates can all benefit from the service as their mail travels with them online.

Even people who don't travel can benefit. For instance, elderly living in a nursing or retirement home may depend on family to manage their mail. With Remote Control Mail, the resident's family can have greater convenience and spend less time traveling to pick up mail from the post office.

It's helpful for rural residents who have trouble getting to the post office during business hours and can also be used by people who would rather not spend their weekends recycling unwanted solicitations, Remote Control Mail can do this for them.

Remote Control Mail is basically a fusion of a post office box, a mail forwarding service, a secretarial service, an email account and an overnight shipping courier. It is a convenient all in one service.

Document Command claims their service reduces credit problems, reduces identity theft, reduces hassle and saves consumers time. They also promote their environmentally friendly disposal that is twice as effective in recycling as consumers.

The claims make sense as more businesses head towards paperless offices and many people scan documents for electronic filing. A few decades ago, people lived without cell phones and now we wonder how we got by.

Snail mail is often the last choice for most correspondence and email or fax are both far faster and more widely preferred. Even many contracts and signatures are valid in electronic form. So why is snail mail still tying us down? It seems that Remote Control Mail has answered that question.
