• your US Global Mail address is invalid,
• your US Global Mail address doesn’t exist
  
  It’s because they dont like something in the way the address was input into their system. The USPS website is extremely particular on how the address is entered in the form.

This article will answer the most common questions about what a US Global Mail addresses can be used for. 

Can we get packages sent to US Global Mail addresses?

We provide physical, street addresses, so you can receive both mail and packages.

You can then decide if you want to scan your letters, ship packages to other locations including overseas addresses, return items to the sender or shred unwanted letters. You can make these requests online from your Virtual Mailbox. 

Do you receive packages and letters on Saturday and Sunday?

No. Our business hours are Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm US Central Time (GMT-6). We cannot receive deliveries on weekends.

Make sure to un-check Saturday and Sunday delivery in your order. Otherwise, your boxes will be left outside the building. We are not responsible for deliveries left outside our premises by shippers.

Can I use US Global Mail address for my bank account or credit card?

The answer is Yes and No!

Yes, because most banks and credit card companies allow our address to be used on the account as your personal address.

However, some banks have recently started asking for a personal address, which is not a CMRA (Commercial Mail Receiving Agency) address. In such cases, our clients provide an address of a friend or family member or their company as the personal address and their US Global Mail address as the shipping address. This ensures that no mail goes to the personal address as banks will use the shipping address to contact them, which is their US Global Mail address.

Can I use US Global Mail address for a driver license?

Yes. Many of our customers have used their US Global Mail addresses for their driver’s licenses.

Can I use US Global Mail address for IRS?

Yes. 

Do I have to pay Texas state taxes when having my US Global mail address here?

No. US laws don’t make you liable for taxes in any state without living there. Having an address in the state does not make you a resident of that state.

Can US Global Mail addresses be used for Registered Agent Service?

No. We currently don’t offer Registered Agent Service. 

The answer is Yes and No! Yes, because most banks and credit card companies allow our address to be used on the account as your personal address.

However, some banks have recently started asking for a personal address which is not a CMRA (Commercial Mail Receiving Agency) address. In such cases, our clients provide a the address of a friend or family member or their company as the personal address and their US Global Mail address as the shipping address.

No. US laws don’t make you liable for taxes in any state without living there. Having an address in the state does not make you a resident of that state.

Yes. You can always update your address and add addresses easily via your Virtual Mailbox.

Your address with mail forwarding services is state-agnostic. Once you fill out a redirect form with USPS, it will forward your mail to the new address, irrespective of where it is in the US. That means the senders don’t need to know your address in Houston and can keep sending mail to your old address. You can receive your mail as if your address never changed.

If you are moving overseas, the State of your address is in matters even less. You access your mail 24/7 via the Virtual Mailbox.

Your address will essentially be in the cloud!

We own and operate our warehouses in Houston, TX, which is where your address will reside. We have complete control over receiving, sorting and shipping your mail. Which is really important for the safety of your mail.

Many of the other mail forwarding services provide multiple addresses in different states. Usually this means they are contracting with 3rd party mom and pop stores or individuals to receive, handle and then ship your mail to their central location. This delays your access to mail by 2-3 business days and opens it to unnecessary risks.

We prefer to not compromise on the security of our customers mail and provide a faster and more efficient service where your mail gets uploaded to your Virtual Mailbox the same as it is delivered; scans are usually available within 4 hours and shipments placed by 1pm are shipped the same day.

Your address will be an actual Street Address, not a PO Box. It will be:

Your Name or Company
1321 Upland Dr.
PMB NNNN 
Houston, TX
77043
USA

*NNNN is the box number. PMB stands for Personal Mail Box, but once your address is moved, you can use Suite, Apartment or Office number.

Yes, you can. When you sign up with us, you will get a new US address for your mail. Simply redirect mail coming to your old address via the post office to your new address with US Global Mail.

As long as you keep redirecting your mail with the USPS- you have to renew the redirection every 6 months- you can keep using your old address.
