Maybe you’re waiting on a bill, a birthday card, or a much anticipated package. Most of us assume our mail will just magically appear as expected each day, but wouldn’t it be nice to know what’s coming before it arrives?

I’ve been using it myself for quite a while now. While it hasn’t uncovered any missing mail or revolutionized my life, it has been pretty fun – and surprisingly useful. Junk mail or not, it’s cool to know what’s headed your way before you open the mailbox.
