@nickfreiling i could suggest adding more detail at checkout: so it costs $1.75 but via what mail service is that sent (eg usps first class mail), do i get a tracking number? and how long should i expect it to take (dunno how long you guys take to process stuff)

@_jacksmith Almost all of those questions are answered on the website homepage. But the fact that you're bringing this up despite that means I need to take another look at that page, to make sure it's all clear.

@_jacksmith Thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about how to add this information to the homepage.

Do you have any process to cater to original documents (which aren't supposed to be printed/photocopied) being sent by physical mails?

@yash_verma3 No. I realize probably 90% of the reason why someone snail mails something is because it's a document that can't be photocopied without losing some of its value. But this is for the last 10%, or for new uses (like non-US firms being able to inexpensively follow-up via USPS with their US sales prospects).

@nickfreiling The site is not that good. I can't even find what it costs. You should think about improving that?

@mrahmadawais We've added pricing here, and also to our new video. Thanks for the suggestion.

Really cool idea! But people generally scan the document and send e-mail and rarely use traditional mailing. They prefer mailing to send original documents. Good luck!

@buse True. But MailThis is for those rare occasions when you do still have to send snail mail. It also creates a new opportunity to send snail mail more efficiently and for new reasons, whether or not you *need* to do it.

@nickfreiling After the document is uploaded it would be nice if there was a message e.g. "upload successful". At the end which is the only time someone sees the price it would be nice to have a button to "delete document" if someone chooses to not pursue paying for it.

Any plans for an API? Would be interest to become the Twilio of physical mail!

@evomoore No hard plans, but it's definitely a long-term goal.

@evomoore https://lob.com/ is already the twilio of physical mail

@evomoore @_jacksmith That's true. Lob is great. What we're trying to do (right now) is make this user-friendly for people needing to send one document every so often. It's a whole other space building an API and syncing with direct marketing firms, CRMs, etc. I'm still thinking through our best angle here.

@evomoore @nickfreiling yeah - your product seems to be a totally different value proposition. that's why i was confused by so many people asking for an api, when lob.com already exists. for your use case, I normally use: https://www.mailform.io/ but will check out your site in the future

@evomoore @_jacksmith Mailform is a good product, but very expensive. The way I see it, the inconvenience of having to send snail mail is pretty low. Annoying, but not a huge deal. Most won't pay $7 just to send one letter, which is what Mailform costs for a 5-page color document. That costs just $1.75 with MailThis.

Well done on the launch. Clever idea how did you come up with it?

@patryk_golabek COVID-inspired, actually. Been stuck at home, but wanted to send snail mail. Had no envelopes or stamps. So I solved the problem with the tools I did have!
