20 Places That Offer Fax Services Near Me

Let’s face it, in this world of emails, smartphones and technological advancements that make communicating more easier, many people are often caught unprepared when documents need to be faxed and have to go on a hunt for “fax services near me.”

Maybe you have to provide your signature this way before a check can be processed. Maybe a company from across the country wants to send you documents with proof of confirmation.

I totally get it. I’ve been there before, so now I come prepared with a list of the nearest fax services from my house. After all, I use fax services near me VERY far and in between. Plus, buying a fax machine isn’t really ideal.

How Much Does Fax Services Cost?

Of course if you own a fax machine this doesn’t cost a thing (except for your internet plans or phone data and if you’re sending internationally). You can get free fax services from a few businesses if you’re a customer.

Paid fax services cost varies, depending on several things, including:

• Online or offline: Is the fax service from brick-and-mortar stores? Or online fax services?
• Destination: Are you sending/receiving fax locally (nationally) or internationally? This is important because fax services usually count a single international page as two. Also, it takes double the time for an international page to arrive at its destination, which some services consider into their pricing.
• Pages: The first few pages usually cost more, than the second, third or succeeding pages.

Online services have fax plans available (which is ideal for people in need of bulk faxing on a monthly basis). Online fax services cost about 2 to 10 cents per page, cheaper if you’re paying an annual subscription. Other businesses offer an as-you-go plan, so you don’t have to pay monthly fees.

20 Places That Offer Fax Services Near Me

I’ve tried the following methods at least once in recent years.

The cost of fax services from brick-and-mortar stores usually falls between $2 and $7 per page for the first page or so, then a bit cheaper ($2 or less) on the succeeding pages. In general, the fees are double the cost for international fax than domestic.

Free Fax Services Near Me as part of a Paid Service or Membership

In some instances, you can request to send or receive fax from private organizations (that you’re a member of) and even your government.

1. AAA –  Faxing is free at most office locations for AAA members, but do note that AAA doesn’t offer fax services for non-members (even if they pay).
2. Your Local bank – I don’t think all banks would allow you to send or receive fax from their branch, but if you’ve been a banker for several years, the bank manager might allow your request to use their fax services for free.
3. Hotels – If you’re staying at any hotel, ask the receptionist where you can send or receive a fax. Most hotels would offer this service free of charge to their customers.
4. Travel agencies – Are you planning a trip and would need to fax documents somewhere? Most travel agencies could accommodate your free fax requests if the files directly support the product/service you’re trying to purchase from the agency.
5. Local government and embassies – If you’re desperate, go with your local representatives and ask a favor. If you’re just visiting, there might also be embassies nearby that could help you out.

Some local groceries libraries and domestic airports also have their own business centers. There’s no harm in asking if they’d let you send or receive your faxes on their behalf.
