A Fax for the Faxless

Recently, I setup a new vendor account online and after completing the long online form, I had to download a PDF, print it, sign it and... fax it back??? I was shocked.

Fax it back? I am an IT company, why would I have a fax machine? They sell IT stuff, why would they want a fax? It didn't even give me the option to scan and email the document. Fax and fax only.

Thankfully, there is a simple and free solution: faxzero.com

You can send two free faxes per day, each fax can be up to three pages and they get the right to put their ad on the fax. If you want to send a longer fax or just can't have their advertisement on the cover pages -- you can pay a little extra. For $1.99 via PayPal, you can send up to 15 pages and avoid the ads.

If any company (especially an IT company) demands communication by fax then let them read an ad or two.

... I wonder if they use adding machines to tally up my orders too?
