A Virtual PO Box is an online platform via which you can access all your mail. It is very similar to a physical PO Box, in the sense that you can have mail items and packages sent there. However, a Virtual PO Box goes an extra step in delivering all your mail in a digital format.

PO Boxes from the USPS can only receive packages from the USPS and no other shipping carriers. With a Virtual PO Box on the other hand, because it is located in a real physical address, you can have receive packages from all shipping carriers.

Virtual PO Boxes give you the ability to view images of your mail & packages, ship your mail to another location and even shred mail items, all within a click. You can access a Virtual PO Box from your desktop or mobile device, just like you would when logging into your e-mail.

Virtual PO Boxes work just like any Post Office box, with the added benefit of a virtual mailbox. That means that you can view all your mail & packages from within your virtual PO Box account, just like you would when checking your e-mails. Once a mail item arrives at your virtual PO Box, you get an e-mail notification letting you know and it gets scanned and an exterior image of it is uploaded in your account. From there, you can request that we scan the interior documents of your envelope or have the physical copy shipped to you. If you receive checks, you can deposit them to your bank of choice for free. The best part about virtual PO Boxes is that you do not get any junk mail. We will throw out all junk mail before it gets into your account.

With a virtual PO Box, you can receive packages from all shipping carriers and not just the USPS (as opposed to a Post Office box.) So you can have UPS, FedEx and virtually every shipping company of your preference, send packages to us. We will scan them & upload an image into your account. Depending on where you are located, and especially if you are overseas, you can expect to get your packages at discounted shipping rates of up to 80%. Due to the volume of packages we ship, shipping companies will give us large discounts that we then pass down to you.

Virtual PO Boxes, depending on the plan you select, cost in the range of $9.95/mo for the Basic plan to $24.99 for the Business Plan. There is also a Plus plan, if you want to add more names under the same account, which starts at $14.95/mo for the annual plan. Depending on the account usage, you may have some add on fees such as mail scanning (interior scans) and storage fees. All exterior mail scans are free, and you can receive an unlimited amount of mail to your mailbox. Please make sure to check out all pricing details, outlined in our pricing page.
