Where can I fax something near me?
Need to send a fax today and don’t own a fax machine? In most US towns an office supply store or shipping center will send your documents for you — The UPS Store, FedEx Office, Staples or Office Depot, for roughly $1.50 to $3.00 per page. Public libraries are usually the cheapest, and some banks fax for account holders.
