Hello,
I have spent some time working on a rough draft GUI for vendor software I am creating.
This software will:
- Automatically generate routes to unique blue post office boxes that have not been used near you
- Validate customer shipping details
- Validate vendor return address details
- Automatically rotate vendor return addresses and match the return address zip code to the blue post office box zip code
- Import orders from different markets and list them all in an easy to read format with ability to check mark them once processed
- Stock tracking ability
- Store details locally PGP encrypted
- Product sales statistics
- May or may not add the ability to connect to a couple cryptopostage site APIs for automatic label creation
Would anyone be interested in using this type of software?

Looks interesting. doubt you will be able to make money off of it due to privacy and security concernes but it would be a really cool open source project.
Yeah, I plan on making most of it open source. There are a few parts of it that would be difficult to make free such as the route generator. This is because it relies on a database of addresses & post offices. Not realistic to have somebody download all of that data just to run the program. Also, the cost of scraping is quite high due to proxies and such.
Though, it could still be open source. I would just need to make a paid for API and host that over TOR.

There is probably a API somewhere or just some already open sourced map data that includes post offices. good luck on the project tho. really cool stuff.
Yeah there are lots. USPS actually has the best API for that sort of stuff. I've already scraped all of the post offices and blue boxes off of the usps site since they don't have strict API restrictions.
You'd be surprised how many blue boxes are in a state alone. I got around 300 - 1000 per state that are not directly outside of a post office.
Name verification is a bit more tricky since it relies on lots of databases, data brokers and leaked DBs etc.
