Some companies nickle and dime customers with stuff like charging how many pieces of mail you can receive after a small included limit, or how many pages are included in free scans. For example a company might offer 30 free pages of scanning- if your Amex bill is 10 pages with 2 sides, you will exhaust 20 pages right there. With another service, for example ours, you can simply ask that only pages that have actual charges be scanned, which might only be 4 pages! You will pay for those 4 pages only.

Be an informed customer and ask lots of questions. The chart above helps decipher some of these costs.

Like Earth Class Mail, there are several companies that charge an exorbitant amount of $$$ over someone like us- US Global Mail.

Often times, the difference between the services is almost negligible. Our advise is to look at the features carefully and see if you need an integration with Bill.com? If not, why pay $80 monthly when you can get the same service in $30?

Sometimes companies will also charge additionally for check deposits like ECM where you must supply them a machine to deposit your checks.

Ask lots of questions and go deep into what else will they charge before you sign up!

As a business address, very important.

A PO Box cannot be used to receive packages or register a business and often times banks will not accept it as a valid address either.

Some companies like Post Scan Mail offer addresses that sometimes can be PO Boxes.

It is important that your address is a real street address like all of ours at US Global Mail to ensure that you can utilize the virtual address fully.

While these co-working spaces offer a virtual address and sometimes even mailboxes, they are much more expensive and also their virtual mailboxes are clunky and hard to use.

Why spend a couple hundred dollars a month if you can do the same thing in $10 or less!
