New Trend - Having Your Postal Mail Delivered Online

If there's any trend that's without a doubt both confirmed and global it's everybody's hate for junk mail. A new company is raising venture capital to eliminated junk mail and step up company recycling efforts by 500%.

The company is called Earthmail.com and already it's taking the world by storm. Its founder Ron Wiener has a compelling business pitch; companies and private persons can reduce their carbon footprint and boost their productivity by having Earthclass Mail scan their mail and put it online. Just like email! This way you can eliminate unwanted mail before it arrives on your desk and clutters up the spare office space.

Wiener wants to open up in over 20 U.S. cities and is today participating in a real life reality style soap about business pioneers called StartupJunkies. The show is aired by Mojo, a hi-def tv producer and the soap is likely going to a big part of the fundraising effort.




Wiener already pitched his business before Californian, Colorado and Barcelona investors members of an angel investor community called K4. The man’s most luring catch phrase no doubt is “See how easily your organization can witness the biggest boost in productivity and cost savings since the introduction of email.”

Let's hope the investor gives Wiener light of day because that man is worth his weight in gold. His idea takes the incentive out of the junkmail persistence for good! By aggregating the paper stacks of corporations, the recycling effort could finally take off in earnest.

Earth class mail sometimes takes five or more days to scan one letter. They charge outrageous fees to forward mail. They will not refund fees if you cancel the contract.

I feel cheated and dissatisfied.
