eSnailer



eSnailer is an online service that lets you send snail mail letters via the Web - for free!  Just type in your address, the address you are mailing to, and then the letter.  eSnailer prints it, puts it in an envelope, stamps and mails it.

Tasha, I could not find a privacy policy at this site. What sort of privacy issues and concerns are raised by this "free service"? For example, will eSnailer sell your personal info to third parties? Is this site susceptible to identify theft?

Excerpt from the eSnailer site:

Q. How can it be free?
A. eSnailer is supported by ads, after you write your letter you will be asked to accept one of our free offers. This is at no cost or hassle to you and takes truly no time. Enjoy.

What does "accept one of our free offers" mean exactly?

Mike,

Great question! I have no idea. But I have emailed eSnailer about it and will let you know what they say.
