There is no scenario in which having my address public benefits me. Zero. Only downsides.
I don't make apps that are controversial but there are a lot of less-than-sane people out there.
I understand this is yet another cost, and for a hobby, etc etc. Just letting people know these services exist.
Why? Everyone says this but I don’t understand why I need to pay someone to get mail for me.
It makes sense if you incorporated in a different state but I created my LLC in my home state, though the “One Stop Business Portal” (it actually was very easy). Contrast that with when I created a Delaware LLC for a previous startup which cost a couple hundred to get started and 100-200/year in fees.
As for the ipostal1 I’m concerned about the address not looking legit (I don’t know what one of their addresses look like and/or if they will be banned/rejected). On top of that I don’t want to pay $15/mo for the ~10 letters I get a year for my business. See also: checks I need to deposit, not sure how that works.
ipostal1: It's basically a software layer over stores that offer various services. I've had no problems with the address. Most places offer a check deposit service.
It's an endemic property of con-artists and these systems.
They're often designed poorly.
How many times have you had to be dishonest to jump through hoops and get something honestly done? At my last job, their receipt checking system for recomp was terrible. We had to create receipt forgeries with the proper values that were formatted in the way the system wanted because it only accepted forgeries.
It would be like a vending machine that only accepted crisp pristine flawless money so you had to feed it with counterfeits out of necessity.
Anyway, don't design these systems wrong otherwise perversity thesis in full effect.
