COMBO PLAN - ALASKA AND THE CANARY ISLANDS
The most common reason for ordering both plans is to have a choice of addresses—Alaska for some uses and the Canaries for others. The advantage of ordering both at the same time is to save money. Here’s how it works:
1. Choose the maximum number of different names you may eventually use at either address.
2. List and pay for these names on the Alaska order form.
3. On the Canary Islands form, list the same number but do not enter any extra charge because these names—up to the limit on the Alaska order—are free.
Example
You plan to receive not more than a dozen letters per year at each address. You expect to someday use up to seven names, total. By ordering both at the same time, you can save $300:
Initial fee for one name (Alaska) ………………………….…. $195
Six additional names @ $50 each …….……………………… $300
First year’s annual payment ………………………………….. $150

$645
Initial fee for one name (Canary Islands) .………………. $195
Six additional names @ $50 each ……….………….……… Free
First year’s annual payment …………………………………. $150

USING THE COMBO PLAN FOR SUPER SECRECY
This method is for those who must furnish an address in the United States, but who do not want the agent handling the mail--or anyone else--to know their true address.
1. You order both the Alaska and the Canary Islands address by mail, using cash or a money order.
2. You give me your e-mail address only, and I email you the address information.
3. You give the Alaska address to your bank, the DMV, or whoever, and the Canary Islands address to the agent in Alaska.
4. The Canary Islands agent receives only your e-mail address. All incoming letters from Alaska are scanned and e-mailed to you. You could be anywhere on Planet Earth.
RETURN ADDRESS
The Alaska address is especially useful as a return address, when you do not wish to use your own address. I’ve noticed that many incoming orders, both for e-books and for ghost addresses, have no return address on the envelope. This does not add to privacy because if the envelope is not delivered for any reason, then it goes to a dead letter office where it WILL be opened. Would it not be better to have it returned to Alaska, sent on to the Canaries, and then receive a scan of the letter by e-mail? That way, you learn that (a) the letter was never delivered, and (b) that it has been safely returned.
