If you are located overseas, you probably still need to receive your US mail. IRS notices, passports & other federal documents all are sent via the mail. You can choose to have those items forwarded to you physically (especially in the case of a passport or ID card,) but when it comes to other mail (invoices, IRS notices etc,) you can simply view those documents online without needing to pay for shipping fees.
US Global Mail started as a mail forwarding company in 1999, working with expat professionals from energy companies in Houston, TX. And with corporate employees living overseas for years at a time, there needed to be a way for them to still stay on top of their mail in a streamlined manner that would not take up too much of their time or attention. If you have had to travel and have someone else pick up mail on your behalf (friend or family members,) you probably remember what a hassle it was to inconvenience someone else to snoop through your personal documents (banking information, invoices, tax notices etc.)
Which is why we built a virtual mailbox technology system, that would allow for our expat customers to not only have their mail items shipped to them overseas, if that was necessary. But to also be able to digitally view documents, just like you would when you check your e-mail.
Mail forwarding with US Global Mail, is more than just consolidating your items into one package to help you save on shipping. With US Global Mail, you are given access to all your postal mail, which can be accessed in one place from anywhere in the world and any day of the week. If you see there is a mail item or package that you want to have shipped to your overseas location, you can request that from within your account as well.
This is a big deal, not to be underestimated. If you were to have every mail item shipped to you directly from the USPS, UPS or FedEx, you would be spending a good sum on unnecessary shipping fees. When you sign up with US Global Mail, you are using our account to have packages shipped to you which allows you to take advantage of the discounts that we receive from these shipping carriers.
Depending on where you are located in the world and the type of shipment you select, you can expect to save up to 80% off of all your shipping fees. If you include the perks of having all your shipments being processed and submitted within one dashboard (instead of having to jump from shipping company to shipping company,) and our clear pricing display of the different shipping options, the amount of time & money you end up saving is huge.
As mentioned already, when you have mail forwarded from US Global Mail, you are also given a virtual mailbox. This technology allows you to view all your postal mail online from your phone or computer device. Whenever you receive a package or an envelope, a scanned image of it is uploaded into your account. From there, you can request that we scan the documents within your envelope and upload them in a JPG format. If you need to have an envelope or package shipped to you, you can also request that from your account and have it sent to your overseas location with discounted shipping rates.
Other features that come with your virtual mailbox, include the ability to have mail stored for an unlimited amount of time. If you have an item scanned, but wish to keep your physical copy at our location, you can have it stored here for as long as you want. The first 45 to 180 days (depending on the plan you select,) are completely free. And if you need to have your mail stored longer than that, then there will be a very nominal storage fee that is applied to your account.
Free features such as check deposits, can also be taken advantage of. If you anticipate receiving bank checks (social security, business checks etc,) then you can request that we deposit the check at your bank of choice free of charge.
Wouldn’t the world be a happier place without junk mail? Did you know that more than 85% of the mail you receive, is advertisements you will toss out? When you sign up for mail forwarding, all junk mail gets shredded before it even enters your account. So you can log into your virtual mailbox and only receive the mail items that are important to you. You will be happy to know, that all junk mail (tons of it,) gets recycled.
If there is a mail item you received, that you want to have securely shredded, that is also a feature of your virtual mailbox that is provided to you for free.
When you sign up for a mail forwarding company, you have to choose between companies that do the work themselves and companies that outsource your mail to third party pack & ship stores. The majority of mail forwarding companies will outsource your mail to a pack & ship store that you have never met, seen a review of or had the chance to ask questions to. Once you select an address, your mail is redirected to that location with you not knowing who that person is or the employees part of that store, until after you start receiving mail. Customer service is also outsourced to overseas call centers, making it very hard for them to know what is happening with your package or mail item.
At US Global Mail, since day one (in 1999) we have had both our mail clerks and our customer service team, located within the exact same facility, just feets apart. When you have a mail forwarding organization, and are handling millions of mail pieces for customers, you need to have ongoing communication between those both teams. Issues may arise occasionally, and them being in the loop (and keeping you in the loop as well,) will be important to ensure that no mail gets lost and no mistakes are made.
From the minute you sign up with US Global Mail, up until the time when you decide to cancel, you are dealing with professionally trained staff of US Global Mail. We have members of our team, who have been with us for several years. And our average customer will stay around for 7+ years, with a good number of customers that have been with us for 15+ years.
When you receive mail at US Global Mail, it is received at a physical street address and not a PO Box. That means, that that same address can be used for the registration of any business. Sometimes, business owners are in between two options; rent office space or use a home address to register a business. There is a cheaper and more private way, than that; use the virtual address you are given, from US Global Mail.
If you need to rent office space just so you register a business, and pay a few hundred to a few thousand dollars every month, then a virtual address would make a lot of sense. If on the other hand, you want to use your home address as a way of saving money, that puts your address at risk of being seen by ill intentioned individuals. Our virtual address, will allow you to keep your home address private, while being able to register your business at a fraction of what you would need to pay for physical office space.
Mail forwarding is not just something that will allow you to manage your mail in a more streamlined way. It is also something that will allow you to save a lot of money, on shipping fees and other associated costs with managing mail. If you were to maintain a Post Office box in the US, you would be paying north of $20/mo for an average size box to handle your mail. Virtual mailboxes, start at $9.95/mo and even our plus plan is just $14.95/mo for the annual plan.
When you are getting your mail virtually, that means that there is no cap what so ever on the amount of mail that you can receive. You also do not need to drive to your box every week, to pick up your mail. You can have a mail piece sit in your account, for as long as you want and you get 45 – 180 days free storage, depending on the plan you select.
Other cost savings have to do with the shipment of your mail items overseas. Due to the volume of mail that we handle for customers, shipping carriers like USPS, UPS & FedEx will give us large discounts that are then passed down to you as a customer. And prior to shipping any time, we will provide you with a clear price comparison between the major shipping carriers so you are able to pick the cheapest option. If you have your items consolidated into one shipment, you can save even more.
Much like with picking a spouse, picking your mail forwarding provider will be an important decision. It is not the type of service that you want to be changing every year, and having to change your mailing address every twelve months. If you are always in constant battle with customer service, trying to figure out what is happening with your mail, or if you are dealing with clumsy third party operators that are temporary, then you are making things harder than they need to be for yourself.
The problem with outsourced mail management, is that you do not have the opportunity to look up reviews. Let’s say you sign up with Ipostal1 (just to take an example.) They have over a thousand third party stores where they outsource your mail to. So it is really a matter of luck, as to whether you land on a good operator or a bad one. And you won’t know what the reviews of that store look like, until after you have been given a virtual mailbox account.
Third party pack & ship stores, are small retail centers (usually franchisees,) that come and go all the time. That means, that if that location shuts down in a few years, you are back to square one with regard to finding a reliable mail forwarding provider. Not only has US Global Mail been around for over 20+ years, but all of our locations are managed by us. This way, you can know, that we will be here, for years to come, and not leaving you alone to juggle through mail items sent to an address that is far away from you.
Depending on the plan you select, you will have the opportunity to add more than just 1 personal or business names. We have three main plans for our virtual mailbox; basic, plus & business. Both the plus & the business plan, will allow you to add an unlimited number of names. If you select the business plan, this will let you add an unlimited number of both personal and business names.
This way, you can have all family members and/or businesses receive mail at one address and all mail can be accessed from the same account. If you are a one man/woman show, and do not need to add other people or businesses to your account, the basic plan will suit you just fine.
If you thought that mail forwarding is just for individuals or small businesses, you may want to reconsider. US Global Mail started as a mail forwarding company for corporate employees who needed to relocate overseas for assignments. Because of our physical presence in Houston, TX we have made partnerships with some of the most prominent energy companies in the world.
But it’s not just energy companies that rely on us for their mail forwarding needs; corporate expats from companies like Netflix, Chubb & Disney have also trusted us with their mail for years. In some cases, we have entire mailrooms being outsourced to us, as a way to save on expenses and streamline their mailroom operations during a socially distant, Covid-19 era.
If you are part of an organization that could benefit from a professional mail forwarding company, we would love to hear from you. Depending on the amount of mail you anticipate to receive, we can provide a more custom quote for you, to help you save more.
US Global Mail, is very honored to be the most highly rated mail forwarding company with over 1000 reviews. Between the reviews on Trustpilot, Google & BBB, we have earned a reputation of consistency, reliance and top notch customer service that our customers enjoy. As a company, we invest heavily on our customer service team, to ensure that you have the smoothest mail forwarding experience you can. And when there is an issue that happens to arise, we make sure to respond to it early on; not just after the customer writes an unfavorable review for us (which is why we have very few negative reviews.)
If you are still not sure whether mail forwarding is right for you, we would recommend you give it a shot by signing up. If you are not happy or you see it is just something that is not right for you, don’t worry; you can cancel and receive a full refund.

Mail forwarding is when you have mail redirected from one address to another, whether domestically or abroad. For domestic residents, mail forwarding is done by the USPS, after an authorization for a change of address. There are two types of address changes; temporary and permanent. Temporary change of addresses will allow you to have mail forwarded by the USPS, for up to 6 months. With a permanent change of address, you will have your mail forwarded for up to 12 months.
For international mail forwarding, people usually prefer mail forwarding companies such as US Global Mail, because of discounted shipping that you get. In order to have the USPS forward your mail internationally, they would need to cooperate with international shipping companies, and therefore that increases your shipping costs. When you work with mail forwarding (or package forwarding,) companies, you can get up to 80% off retail shipping rates.
Mail forwarding has another added benefit, in that you can request to have different mail items and packages, bundled into one, and therefore save on shipping.
Once a change of address has been completed with the USPS (temporary or permanent,) all mail and packages that you receive from the USPS moving forward (pun intended,) will be sent to your new address. When you have mail forwarding done by US Global Mail, in addition to having mail forwarded to you physically, you can also take advantage of our virtual mailbox. This allows you to view pictures of your mail & packages, from any desktop or mobile device.
With the arrival of a piece of mail or package, you get an e-mail notification letting you know you have mail. From there, you can log into your virtual mailbox account, and request for the mail item to be scanned (you see digital copies of your letters,) shipped or shredded.
Mail forwarding is completed by in-house employees at our facility, and never outsourced. That means that you can request that we bundle up items into one large package, so that you can save on shipping costs. Because of the amount of mail we forward, you can expect to receive discounted rates for major shipping carriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL) of up to 80%.
When it comes to international mail forwarding, this is usually preferred by expats or frequent travelers. Living overseas while still being a citizen of the US, means that you will still receive documents such as IRS notices, bank notes etc. Some expatriate groups may consist of corporate employees on an overseas assignment or retired couples. In those cases especially, the mail forwarding needs are such that require a higher volume of mail or packages to be handled.
Domestically, mail forwarding is handled by the USPS for up to 12 months (when you complete a permanent change of address,) which gives you the opportunity to update contacts and other parties of your new mailing address. Usually, mail forwarding domestically will take place once someone moves to a new address.
An increasing number of people however, has been signing up for virtual mailboxes, in order to receive their mail digitally. They still reside at the same address, but their mailing address is what changes. Therefore in cases like that, they will need to notify the USPS of the change of address, and have all mail forwarded to their new virtual mailbox address.
Mail forwarding is free for domestic residents, who simply want to have their mail forwarded from one address to another. The USPS will ask for a $1.10 charge for the purpose of verifying your identity (when done online.) To change your address offline, there is no charge involved and you can fill out the change of address form at your local post office.
If you live overseas, and need to have US mail forwarded to your location, then depending on the weight of your package and the destination, you will get different quotes from our shipping partners (UPS, FedEx & DHL.) Mail forwarding will typically be cheaper by up to 80% when you work through US Global Mail, because of the amount of mail we ship and partner discounts that we get.
For the virtual mailbox, there is a membership fee that starts at $9.95/mo for our Basic plan and up to $29.99 for our Business plan. Depending on the usage of your account, there may be additional fees as well (scanning, storage fees etc.) We would advise you to check out our pricing page, where all membership and add on costs are outlined.
Mail forwarding, will last up to 12 months if you complete a permanent change of address. If you complete a temporary change of address, mail forwarding will last up to 6 months. This gives you the opportunity to update your contacts and any services you sign up for, including federal agencies.
When you sign up for a virtual mailbox with US Global Mail, if you are located overseas, we can forward your mail for as long as you use the service. However, your US Global Mail address (US physical street address,) does need to be added in place of the address you resided at, prior to your overseas move.
The added benefit with having mail forwarding done by US Global Mail, is that with your sign up, you also get a virtual mailbox. That means that you do not need to have every single mail item shipped to you, but can rather access it remotely, from any computer or mobile device.
