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

- Security: Look for services that offer secure and tamper-evident packaging, as well as online access to your mail.
