iv got a friend of mine thats doing time, and i want to write him on the road but i cant think of how to receive letters, anyone know any handy tricks or methods to receive letters on the road, or anything of that nature?
I just did a search for mail forwarding and myrvmail.com looks pretty cool. It gives you a physical address in Florida for benefits. It's $9/month but looks like it has some great benefits for travelers.
I have a ups mailbox. $20 a month. they'll also take any packages and hold them forever. they'll forward mail for postage costs. (also serves as 'proof of residency' in a few years for when I decide to buck up and go to college...)
there's also general delivery if you're going to be in one place for awhile.
You can have mail sent to your name as "general delivery" to a post office in any city. You just have to show ID to pick it up. I also use a UPS store box but they legally are required to have proof of a physical address (lease/utilities) for you to open one & forwarding through them is not super cheap. Awesome that you're trying to keep writing your friend in jail btw....
