Hello.  I realize this thread is old and dead, but the other day I did not, and assumed the brochures were still available for purchase, without even asking.  Whoops.  Anyway I sent the payment to the address for 6 brochures and they have arrived and I'm here to post my experience with my first-ever Bitcoin purchase.

First off, though I coulda swore I ordered 6 (two orders of 3), I received 8.  Sweet.
Second, I noticed off the bat that the envelope they arrived in was heavily worn and torn wide open, though no contents were missing (unless something aside from the brochures themselves was included).  On this I figure someone saw "PayMyAddress.com" part of the return address and thought there might be money inside and ripped it open to see.  Luckily that's not quite what PayMyAddress means.  Also the color Bitcoin logo part of the return address was awesome to see, if the envelope wasn't so ripped and worn I'd want to hang on to it just for that.  Very pro.

The brochures themselves were in absolute pristine condition, not even a fingerprint.  The design is very professional, and they look really good.  The paper they are printed on is the same good quality stock I see professional dentist office type brochures printed on all the time, except I get to learn about Bitcoins instead of Gingivitis.  Even seeing all the photos prior to my order, I gotta say, I was very much impressed at how well done these are.

Aside from all that, I can't really find anything to whine about.  Even if I stretch.  PayMyAddress's brochures exceeded my expectations by quite a bit, and except for the torn envelope (that I doubt was their fault), this transaction could not have gone better.  And I got two extra for free!

Anyway this is probably an overly lengthy writeup for an order of brochures that cost two bitcents (or whatever 0.02btc is called) but I felt I should bump this ancient thread as the brochures are still available and still very useful to introduce collegues and such to the convenience that bitcoin provides.  And my landlord, I have one of these marked for her.  Rent by Bitcoin, if I can convince her =D.  And yes, I'll mention bitpay.

Thanks for the service, PayMyAddress!
