    Default Vitual mailing address or mail forwarding

    Does anyone use a service like this..?
    Basically they give you a real address to use and people can send you stuff there and then they forward it to your house..
    If you have used this any info on it would be cool like what company you use? is there fees to forward the package besides the monthly ? and is it better just to get a p.o box or cheaper?
    I wanna go with the cheapest option as Im not to sure how many people will send items

    I was looking for the same service a few months ago for wishlist items, I found this article really helpful - http://tech-vise.com/10-parcel-forwa...onal-shoppers/

    In the end I thought it was too pricey because some sites charge by weight of the package, and what if a regular sends me a heavy package?

    P.O. boxes from the "official" post office in town is expensive, like $100 a month, but I shopped around and found a small mom&pop post office that rents out P.O. boxes for $10 a month

    Seriously a 100$ a month for a post office box? You mean just a regular one at the post office? Because I pay a little under 80$ a year for mine. At a 100$ month,easily 3/4 of my town would be general delivery lol.

    That was for the largest size they had! I wasn't sure if they would hold packages for me if it didn't fit in the box They also wouldn't let me have packages sent to my camming name, only my real name with an I.D. so it was too much hassle for me in the end to go with the official post office.

    Well, Kat M, all of my mail from those P.O. boxes go to my main virtual office address and I pick it up You get set cheap virtual offices as well in major cities and have your customers send you gifts there. Just a tip: Do not set up a virtual office in Guadalajara, Mx unless it is at the County Club Financial building I hope that helps you.

    I used a mail forwarding service but found it to be too expensive. I use a local mailbox store (mom & pop type place) & rented the smallest box they have. I think it's $12/month when I pay a year at a time. They just hold the packages for me behind the counter. They are super discreet, will call me when I have packages, and I can get packages under as many names as I want. I even ship myself stuff there so my packages aren't sitting outside the door at home. They take packages from USPS, FedEx & UPS. It's totally worth it, and I feel really safe knowing there's no way a customer can get my real address. I really think it's the safest, cheapest option.

    Use virtualpostmail. you just need to get some forms notarized and they set everything up for you so professionally. their staff is very personable and I can't see myself ever not having this service. when I travel I have them send mail and I can even have them scan checks and put it in my checking account. they are excellent. it's worth the $10 a month I spend.

    I opted to NOT have PO box bc I don't want anyone knowing what city I'm in. BTW, I go psycho when guys ask me where u at what city u in where u from. it screams I'M A SERIAL KILLER AND I WILL BE STALKING YOU IN THE BUSHES. So, yeah...protect yourself and invest in a virtual mailbox in a city far far far away from you. xo

    I just emailed them and they don't allow alias names, everything has to be shipped under your real name. And PO boxes I've asked about have had the same issue.

    The only place that I know handles adult frequently and doesn't care about alias' is MailLinkPlus but I think they can get a bit expensive.

    I use Reship.com, they don't care about aliases. It's not the best choice if you get a lot of gifts all the time since you pay for each individual item. You can consolidate packages but I don't like that they have to open up my packages. When I reach the point of it getting too expensive to handle, I'll get a virtual mail service. PO Boxes in my area are stupid expensive.

    I checked them out and the only thing I didn't like about them was the restrictions on what they ship

    Do they do packages to ? and if so is there an extra fee to send the package to you? or is it just a flat $10 a month ?

    Same thing here for me. I use Skybox and you pay for each item/shipment. It's expensive plus I live in canada so I have to pay for import duties, customs, taxes, all that crap. 1 guy bought me a jacket & I had to pay the same price that the jacket actually cost, just for skybox and all those little fees. I don't feel comfortable using a PO box. Would love to change to a different service but they all seem like the same shit

    I've been using reship for the past year but their fees are crazy high! For example, when I had my laptop shipped it cost me around $75 to be shipped (shipping prices were based on size and weight). Even recently when I had a small order I was thinking that the cost wouldn't be too bad but I still paid $20 to have my webcam shipped to me.

    As far as the service thru reship, Ive been happy with it other than the high fees and I've used them about 4 times or so in the past year.

    I am thinking about just going with a po box about 30-45 minutes from me soon. Po boxes are only around $40 for 6 months.

    I have a UPS box and I love it! They give you a street address to use and let you use your stage name for shipments and receiving. UPS is franchised so the prices vary depending on which UPS store you go to- I called around to a few different ones and went with the store that was the most affordable.

    I paid $29 a month for a po box from the USPS in a Miami neighborhood. It was the smallest size and when I got large packages they didnt force me to pay more for a bigger box. They just put a key in the smaller box to a bigger one so I could get my stuff. I could even put several names on my list.

    But in Philly its far different. I tried using the smallest box and hoped they would store large packages in overflow boxes. Nope. They kept my things in the back which meant I could only get my stuff during business hours and only after getting told off by an employee who hated their job. I was told to either pay for the largest size or they would start sending all my stuff back. So when it comes to the USPS it really depends on the location. Now I check their reviews to see what customers have to say about them.

    IT really depends on the location of the PO Box.

    There are small convenience stores that have a post office in their store there is one like that near me. then there are UPS store addresses. and you can even get an address from those co-sharing offices.

    That way there is something at the office to sign for your packages. I've been considering that method that wya it can feel like I can go in and be like "any messages for me"

    just wanted to bump this! I've been using shipito. their rates are a bit high, but my customers are soooo much happier buying on amazon than they ever were on deliverycode. also their customer service is amazing compared to DC.
