Is there a service that will print & snail-mail PDFs?

December 20, 2014 3:53 PM

I tried an online text form-to-postal-mail service, and it left me a bit disappointed. It charges by the page, and the text formatting controls are minimal. Even images aren't allowed. Is there a service that will let me upload a PDF and then mail it (in the U.S. via postal mail) to an address I specify?

Have you called your local neighborhood copy/print and mailing type shop? You want like, "Jays copy and print", not FedEx office.

Those places seem way more amenable to doing slightly less usual stuff like this. "can I just print one sheet of 40 stickers, not 1200 stickers" type stuff. They'll have all the tools needed to do this, and will likely only charge you for their time and materials. Not some weird high minimum that covers 50 mailings worth or whatever.

Basically, try a non corporate copy shop that does mailing.

Have you tried a Google search on something like 'service print pdf to paper send stamped envelope'?

Click2mail? I received something through a service like this once. It might have been this one.

I've used Lob for that, but it's meant for uploading the pdfs through an API, not a web form.
