Let’s admit it. Dealing with mail isn’t the most exciting part of anyone’s day. But, like taxes, mail is just one of those things that everyone needs to take care of. Have no fear, though. Virtual mailboxes exist for this exact reason. It handles your mailing and business address needs so you can focus on what really matters.

FAQ: What You Have Asked the Most

1. Can I manage all my mailboxes under one single login?

While you are welcome to sign-up for multiple accounts, it is currently not possible for them to be managed under one login. We are planning to add multi-user support as well as consolidate mailbox management in the future.

2. Can I move or switch my account to the new location?

You can obtain an address at the new location, but in order to do so, you will need to go through the signup process and open up a new address with us at that new location. Once you do so, should you wish to close any existing accounts, let us know so we can assist you in closing them. Remember that each location operates independently and processes mail on-site at the location. For this reason, we cannot transfer or internally forward mail from one location to another. You will also need to make arrangements with your mailers so you can start utilizing the new mailbox address instead of continuing forward with the old address you plan to close. For details regarding this, please follow this link to our FAQ: Can I change my address from one location to another?

3. Do I need to submit a notarized Form 1583 if I have an existing account with you?

If you are an existing customer or were a customer with us within the past 12 months, we would be happy to waive the notarization requirement upon receiving your Form 1583 and two IDs for the new account. When submitting your documents, please make sure to reference your current or past account information.
