The Backpackers Guide to Mail Scanning

Each year thousands of Brits pack their bags and go travelling round the world for a backpacking adventure. Before going off on their travels, many backpackers forget one key thing, their mail. With large amounts of time spent travelling the world, changing location and not returning home, backpacker’s mail is often lost, stolen or for the parents and family to hold on to their return. Having no access to mail conjures up numerous problems, from security risks to unpaid bills, but with the help of PAMS mail scanning, these worries can be eliminated.
