Earth Class Mail -- which is venture backed by the Keiretsu Forum -- said the new location will help "entertainment-industry professionals and jet-setters" to gain a Hollywood area mail address. Earth Class Mail receives and digitized physical, postal mail for its users, allowing them to read their postal mail online, and request specific pieces of mail for delivery to their street address. The firm scans in every page of mail received by the firm, and also allows users to recycle, shred, or archive those mail items. According to Earth Class Mail, the new Los Angeles retail location will also provide onsite package pickup and shipping services.
