Virtual Mailing Address – US Global Mail

What Is A Virtual Mailing Address?

A virtual mailing address is a real street address that comes with a virtual mailbox. All mail gets uploaded into your account, and can be accessed through your computer or mobile device. A virtual mailing address is the best way to get mail, without needing to go to the Post Office every week, or having mail exposed to anyone at the front of your home.

How It Works

Every time you get mail at your virtual mailing address, you will get an e-mail notification, letting you know that you have mail. Once you log into your account, you will see scanned images of all your mail & packages. Those are exterior images of your envelopes & packages. Depending on what the envelope is and whether you want to see the documents that are inside, you can request a mail scan. This will tell our team, to open the envelope, and uploaded scanned copies of your mail. From there, you can download those to your computer. For packages that are in your account, you can add a shipping address to ship them to. If you are located overseas, you can request that we ship your packages to you. Those will be shipped with up to 80% off retail shipping rates.

Other features that come with your account, include free check deposits and free shredding of your mail. If you get bank checks or social security checks sent to you, you can simply request that we deposit them on your behalf at the bank you select. For shredding, all mail items that you delete from your account, will get securely shredded and recycled.

No Junk Mail

A virtual mailing address is a much better option compared to a physical mailbox, because of the ability to sort through the mail that comes in. Whenever your mail comes, our team will manually throw out all junk mail and only upload the envelopes and images of the packages that are important to you.

If you consider that more than 85% of the mail you receive is junk mail, this can be both a great time saver and a convenience. No more do you need to drive to the post office, simply to pickup a bunch of advertisements.

Cheaper Than A PO Box

PO Boxes are great for distancing your mail from your residence, but they come with a price. If you were to sign up for a typical, medium size PO Box, you would expect to pay about $30/mo. That means, that you would still need to physically go to the Post Office every week, stand in line and pay for gas money back and forth.

With a virtual mailing address, you can get an unlimited amount of mail (more mail than the extra large box would hold at the Post Office,) at no additional charge. For just $14.95/mo, you can have all your mail sent to your phone or computer. Also, you can have all your mail physically stored at our location, for as long as you want. Depending on the plan you select, you can have up to 180 days of free storage.

Discounted Shipping Rates For Overseas Customers

If you are overseas, happen to be travelling abroad and need access to your mail, you can have all packages & envelopes shipped to you, with up to 80% off retail shipping rates. Due to the amount of packages we ship, shipping companies like the USPS, UPS & FedEx will give us large discounts which we then pass down to the customer.

That means, that if you were to have your package shipped directly through the UPS, it would actually be more expensive than if you had an account with US Global Mail. Prior to requesting a shipment request, we will be giving you a full series of quotes from the different shipping providers, so you can select the shipping product that makes the most sense to you, and for the lowest price.

Virtual Mailing Addresses Are Real Street Addresses

Don’t let the name fool you. A virtual mailing address is a physical street address that comes with a virtual mailbox (hence the virtual reference.) That means that you can use that address for the registration of any business and even for marketing purposes (Google My Business, Online Directories etc.) Once you have registered your business with the Secretary of State, you can have all mail sent to your virtual mailing address, and can access it online from your virtual mailbox account.

Another important benefit that you get, with signing up for a virtual mailing address, is that because it is not a PO Box, you can actually receive packages from all shipping carriers (not just the USPS.) If you had a PO Box at the Post Office, you would not be able to get packages send there from Amazon, or have FedEx ship a package to your PO Box. Because your virtual mailing address is a physical street address, you can receive packages from pretty much any shipping company.

Top Rated Virtual Mailing Service

As we mentioned earlier, selecting your virtual mailing address provider, is something that will follow you for the long run. Therefore, making sure that you are picking the right company the first time, is very important. The best way to know what kind of an experience you can anticipate, is by looking at the reviews of the company. US Global Mail has had built a strong reputation in the industry, with the highest rated virtual mailing platform and the greatest number of reviews. Across review platforms like Google, BBB & Trustpilot, US Global Mai has been the recipient of thousands of 5 star reviews.

In many cases, the reviews come from customers who have been with us for 10 and even 15 years! Our average customer has been with us for about 7 years.

Fortune 500 Companies Are Signed Up Too

It is one thing for an individual or a small business to trust their mail with a virtual mailing address company. But we have been privileged to earn the business of expat employees from large corporations like Netflix, Chubb & Shell. In some cases, entire corporate mailrooms have been outsourced to us. If you belong to an organization that would like to manage mail virtually, reach out to us. We would love to hear from you.

Add Unlimited Individual Or Business Names

Another perk that comes with our virtual mailing address, is that you can receive mail from more than just one person, from the same account. When you select the Plus plan, you can sign up your entire family under the same account, at no additional cost. If you are a business, select the business plan, and you can add as many business names to your account as you like. Keep both personal and business mail in one place, and receive both at a single virtual mailing address.

Make The Right Choice The First Time

Signing up for a virtual mailing address, is a decision that will follow you for a long time. Just like when you select a phone number, you do not change it every year. Having to update your contacts and family members about a new mailing address every year, is not realistic and a great hassle. So whoever you select, you’ll need to know that you can stick with them for the long run.

When a virtual mailing address provider, outsources your mail, a situation which by default will create a negative customer experience, how can you comfortably say that you will be with them for the next 2-3 years? Or if you have to deal with customer service teams that are overseas, and have no clue on what is happening with your mail on-shore, how is that a relationship you can maintain for years at a time?

Sometimes, we kiddingly tell our customers that selecting your virtual mailing address provider, is the most important decision you can make right after selecting your spouse. The truth is, many important documents, including federal & IRS documents, go through the mail. If you are not able to rely on your virtual mailing company, that will jeopardize a series of other events in your everyday life.

Getting Started Is Easy

All you need to do, is look through our plans, and find the one that is a right fit for you. We have three main tiers; basic, plus & business. Once you sign up, you will be asked to complete a short onboarding process, which will allow us to get 2 forms of ID (this is required for verification purposes,) and a notarized 1583 form (this is required by federal law, in order to manage mail on your behalf.) The final step from there, is to complete a change of address with the USPS. This way they will know to redirect mail from your current mailing address, to your new virtual mailing address.
