Where Can I Fax Something Close to Me

If you are in the U.S. or Canada, you can easily send a fax at your nearest UPS Store or FEDEX.

I am not sure if faxing is available at UPS and FEDEX elsewhere in the world, but it might be worth checking out in your area.

Alternatively, if you need to send faxes somewhat often and don’t want to buy a fax machine, you can use an online fax service such as eFax or GoTo virtual fax services.

When did you last send a fax?

For me, it’s been ages!

The occasion? I was on a long visit to Dar es Salaam and desperately needed to fax something to Nairobi.

I didn’t expect it to be difficult, but for many days, every internet café I tried to send a fax from either had a problem with its fax line or fax machine.

Eventually, a resident of Dar es Salaam who often sends faxes decided to take me out of my misery and directed me to an internet café in Oysterbay, which he said had a reliable fax service.

Only then, eventually, did I manage to send my fax.

Fax Services Near Me

Last month, I needed to sign a contract and then send it to the United States.

The person who sent me the contract requested that I return it by fax or as a PDF attachment to email.

Of course, I chose the PDF attachment because I knew that would be much simpler.

Still, I was curious about the state of faxing services in Dar.

After I had sent the contract, I decided to visit a couple of internet cafes around town to see if they offered fax services, and if so, whether these services were operational and at what price.

Nearest Fax Service Dar es Salaam

I began my informal survey by visiting the internet café in Oysterbay where I was able to send a fax those many years ago.

Located next to Shrijee’s Supermarket on Haile Selassie (near Maisha Club and Peninsula Hotel Dar es Salaam), simply called Internet Cafe (according to the sign on the window), I found that fax services were still offered and fully functional.

To send faxes within Dar es Salaam, the price was 1000 Tsh/page; faxes sent elsewhere in Tanzania cost 2000 Tsh/page; while faxes sent outside Tanzania cost 3000 Tsh/page. 

To receive faxes, the café charged 500 Tsh/page.

I then decided to inquire at the internet cafés at Millennium Towers, on (New) Bagamoyo Road.

To receive faxes, the café charged 1000 TSh/page.

The other internet café at Millennium Towers, Millennium Business Centres, also had working fax services.
