Registerfly private registration

I want to get a domain with private registration and was considering between Godaddy and Registerfly. I decided against Godaddy once I learned that there is a handling fee of $20 for snail mail sent to your domain to be mailed or faxed to you. I've never had a domain before but I would assume practically all the snail mail would be junk mail, but for any legit snail mail I would need sent to me, $20 a pop is too steep.

So do any of you Registerfly users out there know how much Registerfly charges to send important mail to you? I looked all over their website but I couldn't find any info on that.

Also, how much snail mail sent to a typical domain is junk? Upwards to 99%? I'm just curious. Thanks for any answers to any of this.

Hmmm why bother? On your website, make an online form so that people can write you if they want more info about your company. I don't know how many people would actually write to you via checking out info on goddaddy.
If I wanted your info I would not look for info at godaddy to write you, I'd write you and get that address.

I want to bother because I don't want my street address and phone number in the Whois database. I'll certainly have an email address on the site for easy contact and I don't mind having an email address in Whois because I can use a yahoo address or something for that. I just don't know if I would ever get important or legal snail mail sent to the street address in Whois and I don't want to have to pay $20 to receive it like on Godaddy. That's why I was wondering what Registryfly charges to forward snail mail.
