SELF, one of the premier lifestyle and fitness magazines in the country, just released it’s April issue, where they feature Shoeboxed. We’re obviously very happy to have Shoeboxed in SELF, and I think they did a great job with the story, focusing on how Shoeboxed can help you organize your receipts for tax time and [...]

As you no doubt noticed, Shoeboxed has a sleek new design inside the site. We wanted to make Shoeboxed a little easier on the eyes, and we also changed around the navigation to streamline the receipt organization process. We hope that we can save you some time and frustration by making it easy to navigate [...]

David Allen is a widely popular author who preaches the concept of GTD, or Getting Things Done. He is a thought leader in the area of personal productivity, and I’ve been meaning to mention him and his suggestions on the blog for awhile now. For a limited time, we are offering to send you a [...]

I do lots of different things at Shoeboxed – I guess that’s the nature of working 16-hour days. One of the most entertaining parts of my job, though, is actually using Shoeboxed. We want our user experience to be second-to-none, so we all use Shoeboxed religiously to organize our receipts, and we are all veritable [...]

Shoeboxed was born to be a receipt organization service. We’re committed to help everybody organize receipts with as little work as possible – everybody from individuals to small businesses to large corporations.
Because we are so committed to this idea, we are revamping our core organizational function on the site. Shoeboxes were originally designed as folders [...]

Up until I discovered Shoeboxed, my receipt organization level was a disaster. There were several sources for the problems plaguing me.
Undeniably, some of the blame lies on me. I got a second’s worth of satisfaction when I tossed the receipt from my vanilla chai latte. On the rare occasion that I did save the receipt, [...]

I’ve talked quite a bit on the blog about our innovative receipt scanning program, Shoeboxed Mail-In over the last few months, and I’m very excited to announce that we are moving out of our trial period, and are now offering the full service.
All the information you need to know about Mail-In can be found in [...]

Over here at Shoeboxed, we’ve always been dedicated to the personal approach. We talk with users face-to-face, over the phone, and via e-mail everyday. We recognize how important it is to give you whatever help you need to get the most out of our service.

Well I can’t believe it. 2007 is almost in the books, and we’re coming up on a whole new year.
I know people get really excited about New Years, but I don’t really buy into it all that much personally. Yeah, I’ll probably run every other day for the first couple of weeks trying to get [...]

We sent this news out in an e-mail last week, but I just wanted to note it here as well: Shoeboxed Mail-In has officially been launched. It works like this:
1. You receive a manila envelope from us with directions and an pre-paid, addressed envelope to send back.
2. You fill the return envelope with as many [...]

Believe it or not, we don’t like receipts very much. We think they’re annoying, a waste, and difficult to keep track of. Our greatest motivation in developing Shoeboxed is to make it easier for people to organize and manage receipts, because after all, they contain lots of information worth keeping around.
I came across a website [...]

There has been a decent amount of chatter recently about the security of financial applications on the Internet. Lots of people are scared to tell a company that they don’t know what all their financial information is. We totally get that. I’m not comfortable with it either.
But I still track my online and offline spending [...]

Excitement continues to build around the Shoeboxed idea. Most people we meet are loving it, and that is certainly and understandably very motivating. But what’s always really awesome is when people we haven’t met love the idea too.
About a month ago, one such stranger decided that we were a cool company with a worthy idea. [...]

Here at Shoeboxed we have become quite passionate about receipts. We think they are awesome. In fact, we are quite sure the man who invented them is severely under-appreciated, whoever he was.
Receipts are the diary of the lazy. If you won’t tell a story, your receipts will do it for you. Your receipt of Bed [...]

We think you should think again! Shoeboxed is totally worth it, even if you only buy things online a couple times a year.
