The Advantages of Mailbox Forwarding

by Kevin Smith Author

Mailbox forwarding comes with many advantages for small businesses and home-based businesses as well as for everyone else. This service is usually pretty cheap and is well worth the money. Here are some of the many advantages of mail forwarding.

 

Privacy

 

Having a mailbox can prove itself very helpful in protecting your privacy. There are many instances when you probably don’t desire to give out your home address. Receiving a lot of junk mail and being targeted can be extremely frustrating. If you own a business, you can keep your real address private and don’t have people, such as clients or sales people, show up at your house unexpectedly.

 

Security

 

If you order merchandise online, chances are it will get delivered during the day when you aren’t home. Having the packages sit at your front door can invite thieves. With a mailbox, you don’t have to worry about this aspect. The package is safe and you can pick it up whenever you want. When you’re away from your house for a prolonged period of time, you can still continue receiving your mail until you’re back. You don’t have to notify the postal service about your absence or come back home to a mailbox full of mail. Having your mail pile up while you’re away can also be dangerous as it shows burglars that you’re not home.

 

Mobility

 

If you’re enrolled with a mailbox forwarding service, you won’t have to worry about changing your address every time you move. You will still have to notify the DMV and other official agencies of your new address, but you won’t have to do this for every single person or unofficial entity who has your current address. A forwarding business forwards your mail and packages to any address you desire, even internationally, which can prove itself beneficial for military members or anyone who moves around a lot. They even forward your mail to any chosen address while you’re on vacation.

 

Other Advantages

 

Choosing a service that provides you with a street address instead of a postal box, can be advantageous in many situations and for different people: international businesses that want to have US presence, full-time travelers, military personnel and so forth. Whenever you receive a piece of mail, the mailbox service notifies you and you can choose want you want to do with this mail. If it’s junk mail, you can have it shredded. If it’s something that requires your immediate attention, you can ask for it to be scanned and shared with you as a PDF file. If you’re a freelancer or home-based business, you can use this address to set up a limited liability company or corporation. Additionally, all your mail gets stored securely online which reduces the paper clutter and serves as archiving purposes for you.

 

As you can see, mailbox forwarding offers many different advantages. It’s a convenient and cheap option that can make your life a lot easier.
