An alternative to the official Post Offices.

The E.A.M.I.S will carry messages in any format cards, letters, parcels, etc, and realised in any medium book, cassette, tape, film, etc.
The message must reach the E.A.M.I.S office by any way other than the official Post Offices. It can be delivered by the author or by any other person.
The E.A.M.I.S is free of charge. Any piece, however, intended for delivery should be accompanied by a second copy or duplicate. This second copy or duplicate shall be kept in the archives of the E.A.M.I.S after delivery of the original.
The E.A.M.I.S guarantees delivery of the entrusted pieces by any means other than the official Post Offices. If for any reason a piece remains 3 years undelivered, it will be sent back to the author by any means other than the official Post Office.
The E.A.M.I.S will keep on its premises, open to any potential receiver, a stock of yet undelivered pieces. On the other hand, it is not necessary to be a potential receiver in order to visit the archives.
Mail pieces are accepted regardless of size, country of origin and country of destination.
The E.A.M.I.S is not responsible for fakes and falsifiers. Every piece from the E.A.M.I.S must carry our own stamps and seals.
By using the E.A.M.I.S you support the only alternative to the national bureaucracies and you strengthen the international artists community.
