Airbnb mail deliveries
The joys of receiving mail while traveling!
Airbnb has implemented various measures to help guests receive their mail and packages while staying at a host's property. Here are some ways Airbnb facilitates mail deliveries:
- Host-provided mailboxes: Many hosts provide a mailbox or a secure location for guests to receive mail and packages. This is especially common for longer-term stays or for hosts who live in the same building as the rental property.
- Package delivery services: Airbnb has partnered with package delivery services like Amazon Lockers, UPS Access Points, and FedEx Ship Centers. These services allow guests to receive packages at a secure location, even if they're not present at the property.
- Host coordination: If a guest is unable to receive a package at the property, the host can coordinate with the delivery company to have the package held at a nearby location or delivered to a different address.
- Guest communication: Airbnb encourages hosts to communicate with guests about mail and package delivery arrangements. This helps ensure that guests are aware of any special instructions or arrangements that need to be made.
- Airbnb's Guest Referral Program: Airbnb offers a Guest Referral Program, which allows guests to receive mail and packages at a local post office or package delivery center. This service is available in select cities and is subject to availability.
To ensure a smooth mail delivery experience, it's essential for guests to:
- Inform their hosts about any expected mail or package deliveries
- Provide their host with any necessary delivery instructions or special requests
- Check with their host about the availability of a mailbox or package delivery service at the property
- Keep an eye on their mail and packages, as they may be delivered to a secure location or require additional coordination
By following these guidelines, guests can enjoy a hassle-free mail delivery experience while staying at an Airbnb property.
