Snail Mail Gets Speedier with PostalMethods

By

Wouldn’t it be great if you could send snail mail as easily as clicking “send” on an email? We’ve teamed up with PostalMethods to make sending your Box files through the mail as simple as possible.

Here’s how it works: just select the PostalMethods OpenBox action from the directory, and click “add application.” Next time you need to mail a document, just click on the file actions button and choose “Send as letter.” Enter your PostalMethods user name and password – if you don’t have an account, you can quickly create one by clicking “register” – and fill out the address. Your documents will be printed on business quality paper, inserted into standard business envelopes, and will arrive at USPS within one business day, where they’ll be posted via First Class mail. You can even monitor their progress through the PostalMethods secure control panel – it’s like having your own personal, virtual mailroom.

This is the latest in a string of OpenBox features designed to make sharing simple. Our earlier integration with FedEx means you can ship straight from your Box account, or you can easily fax documents with our eFax OpenBox action. Even though we’re doing more and more things online, sending real mail is here to stay. Box and PostalMethods just made it a little easier.
