Why are businesses choosing
USGM over Stable
We Store Your Mail. Stable Deletes It
Stable destroys physical mail after 30 days. US Global Mail holds your originals for as long as you need — no countdowns, no surprise deletions. When a legal document, signed contract, or government notice arrives, you decide what happens to it.
We Scan in Hours. Stable Takes Days
Stable routes all mail through two central hubs before scanning, adding 2–4 days before you can read anything. US Global Mail processes mail at your address location and scans within 2–4 hours. Same-day shipping included.
We Include Everything. Stable Charges for Basics
Check deposits cost $20 each at Stable. Automatic mail scanning requires their top-tier plan. At US Global Mail, check deposits are always free, automations are included, and live human support comes standard — no plan-gating, no nickel-and-diming.
No one provides more value. Really.
US Global Mail is the only service with unlimited mail receipt and free check deposits.

Why users are ditching Stable
Their pricing is decent for entry level functionality but feature crippled for simple things like automatically scanning your mail. They call this an advanced automation which requires the ‘scale’ plan. So to read your mail you have to make two visits to the site—one to request the scan and the other to read the scan several hours later.
Product Hunt Reviewer
I was surprised that while they have many address locations, the mail is all forwarded to their San Francisco offices before it’s scanned. Since my address is in Boston, there may be additional delays before seeing the mail.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does US Global Mail’s pricing compare to Stable’s?
Stable’s entry-level pricing looks competitive on the surface, but key features — like AI summaries, automatic mail scanning, integrations, team members, — are locked behind higher-tier plans, and check deposits cost $20 each. US Global Mail includes unlimited exterior scans, free check deposits, ai summaries, integrations and live customer support on every plan, with no hidden per-transaction fees. You know exactly what you’re paying before you start.
Does Stable require a contract? What about US Global Mail?
Stable locks customers into annual contracts with no flexibility to change plans mid-term. US Global Mail lets you upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime — no penalties, no lock-in. If your needs change, your plan can too.
How long does mail scanning actually take with each service?
With US Global Mail, mail is scanned within 2–4 hours of arrival at your USGM address locations. Stable routes all mail through two central facilities before scanning, which adds 2–4 days of transit time before you can view anything. For time-sensitive business mail — legal documents, checks, compliance notices — that delay has real costs.
What happens to my physical mail if I use Stable vs. US Global Mail?
Stable destroys physical mail after 30 days. If you need to retrieve an original document — a signed contract, a government letter, a voided check — after that window, it’s gone. US Global Mail stores your physical mail for as long as you need it, so you control when and whether originals are forwarded or held.
Is Stable a reliable long-term choice for a business?
Stable is VC-backed, which means its roadmap, pricing, and even its continued existence depend on investor decisions rather than customer needs. US Global Mail has been privately owned and operationally focused for 25 years, serving 100,000+ customers through market cycles, compliance changes, and global disruptions. This is why companies like Netflix, Chubb, Shell choose to work with US Global Mail. For businesses that need consistent mail operations, that track record matters.
What kind of customer support does Stable offer vs. US Global Mail?
Stable offers dedicated support only on custom enterprise plans. US Global Mail provides live human support — by phone, chat, or email — across all plans, with a dedicated account manager for business customers. We’ve held a BBB Award of Excellence every year since 2014. If something goes wrong with your mail, you can reach a real person the same day.
