A mail forward!

A mail forward, also known as a mail forwarding service, is a service that allows you to receive mail and packages at a different address than your current one. This can be useful in various situations, such as:

  1. Traveling or living abroad: If you're traveling or living abroad, a mail forward service can help you receive important documents, packages, and mail at a US address.
  2. Business purposes: If you're a business owner or entrepreneur, a mail forward service can help you receive mail and packages at a professional address, even if you're not physically located there.
  3. Security and privacy: If you're concerned about your personal or business mail being intercepted or compromised, a mail forward service can provide an additional layer of security and privacy.

Here's how a mail forward service typically works:

  1. You sign up for a mail forward service and provide your current address.
  2. The service assigns you a new address, which is usually a PO box or a physical address.
  3. When mail or packages are sent to your new address, the service receives and scans them.
  4. You can then access your mail and packages online, or have them forwarded to your current address.

Some popular mail forward services include:

  1. USPS (United States Postal Service): The USPS offers a mail forwarding service called "General Delivery" that allows you to receive mail and packages at a post office.
  2. Mailboxes Etc.: Mailboxes Etc. is a private mail forwarding service that offers a range of services, including mail forwarding, package receiving, and business address rentals.
  3. The UPS Store: The UPS Store is a retail chain that offers mail forwarding services, as well as package receiving and shipping services.
  4. EarthClassMail: EarthClassMail is a digital mail forwarding service that scans and emails your mail, allowing you to access it online.

When choosing a mail forward service, consider the following factors:

  1. Cost: Mail forward services can vary in cost, depending on the level of service and the frequency of mail forwarding.
  2. Security: Look for services that offer secure and tamper-evident packaging, as well as online access to your mail.
  3. Reliability: Choose a service with a good reputation for reliability and timely mail forwarding.
  4. Customization: Consider a service that allows you to customize your mail forwarding options, such as forwarding only certain types of mail or packages.
