God I hope this isn't a stupid question to ask but how exactly do I send out cash? Do i need to add a return address and won't that defeat the purpose? I really just want to try the service for 2-3 months after that I'll probably switch over to the amazon vouchers since I don't want to deal with monero. I think I sent out an actual physical letter maybe twice in my life and all the research I done was for sending it out internationally even though there's a us based address AFAIK so I'm really a noob here and I appreciate any help you can provide.

Edit: Just want to apologize if this is really stupid to ask I feel like an absolute idiot right now, haha

Edit #2: Thank you all for your help think I got an understanding on what to do now

you don't have to provide an address ... you generate a token on their site, print it out, put it in an envelope and send it with cash to them.

they receive the cash and activate the token based on the cash provided with it

see their faq Can I really pay with cash?

You bet, and please! Stay anonymous all the way. Just put your cash and payment token (randomly generated on our website) in an envelope and send it to us. We accept the following currencies: EUR, USD, GBP, SEK, DKK, NOK, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD

    Just to add to that:

    • Your printer may add invisible identification data. Laser printers do this by using tiny amount of yellow toner.
    • If you withdraw cach from ATM, it could be traced back to you. It's best to take larger banknotes and exchange them for smaller ones by paying somewhere.
    • You may easily leave fingerprints on tape, envelope or stamps. Also hair, saliva, blood if you cut yourself on paper, etc.. There could also be hair in your pocket that could stick to it, if you put it there while transporting it.

    Perhaps a little extreme, but oh well.

    Yeah I read that but I'm just getting a little hung up in the details. Like what envelope to use and what stamps? I keep getting mixed result online, a standard us white envelope, an A4 yellow envelope, 3 forever stamps or an international stamp. It just confusing me a bit

    My guy, you're getting mixed results because it really doesn't matter. If you're unsure how to do things, you can literally just address the envelope, and go to the post office service counter to figure out how much postage you need.

    Sup. Post in my country does not allow money in regular mail, which costs generally less than €2 worldwide. They do however allow it in insured mail... which may be in range of €15-60...
    I heard birthday cards work, but no guarantees, of course.
