God I hope this isn't a stupid question to ask but how exactly do I send out cash? Do i need to add a return address and won't that defeat the purpose? I really just want to try the service for 2-3 months after that I'll probably switch over to the amazon vouchers since I don't want to deal with monero. I think I sent out an actual physical letter maybe twice in my life and all the research I done was for sending it out internationally ~~even though there's a us based address AFAIK~~ so I'm really a noob here and I appreciate any help you can provide.

Edit: Just want to apologize if this is really stupid to ask I feel like an absolute idiot right now, haha

Edit #2: Thank you all for your help think I got an understanding on what to do now

If you really wanna stay private, wouldn't it be better to use Monaro? You won't have to worry about all the limitations of the physical world, and on top of that you'll get 10% off. It seems like the overall better option compared to mailing cash.

100% agree but personally seems like a hassle to get, exchanging giftcards or another crypto for monero, etc..., especially if you haven't dipped your feet into the whole crypto world like me to begin with. For my personal threat model if i do end up liking mullvad, amazon vouchers will work just fine or if this whole mailing system works I'll continue doing that. But yes you're absolutely correct though
