Re:And why did I want this ? (Score 1)

I was looking for a service exactly like this before I took on an expatriation to Canada for a year. Despite minimising the number of bills and mail being sent to my home address before I went, there are still things I need to be aware of with commitments I have back home. Unfortunately a redirection of snail mail overseas is incredibly expensive (~A$500/year from memory) whereas local redirections are cheap. Luckily for me I have reliable family members who can filter, scan and send me important stuff I need to see in a somewhat timely manner.

So, this would conceivably appeal to expatriates, those constantly traveling for business, even tech-savvy retirees traveling the country in their caravans, just to name a few. But yeah, it's of marginal use to everyone else.
