The Advantages of Mailbox Forwarding
by Kevin Smith AuthorMailbox
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.
