Mail Forwarding Services

Hi All,

I am new to the site and looking for information about mail forwarding providers. I have located the following:

- Earth Class Mail
- Traveling Mailbox
- Virtual Post Mail

How many folks have feedback about the list above or do you have others you recommend? I will be traveling for a few months at a time and the ability to not require someone to pick the mail up from my box would be a great help. I really never knew that company's offered this type of service until I started investigating.

I appreciate you sincere input and feedback.

Marke

Sometimes your local pack and ship business, like a UPS store, will rent you a mail box that you have mail delivered to and they then forward as you instruct. Usually, it is not overly costly to have that done.

I have an acquaintance who is a full time RV'er and uses one of these services- he seemed to think it worked great. I am not sure of the company he used but I believe it was in Oregon

I have used the premium forwarding service that the local post offices provide and it worked well for me.

You don't really have to have somebody stop by and check your mailbox. In the U.S., you can have all your mail forwarded temporarily to another address, say a sister or a friend. Provide that person with a few big envelopes, postage attached. You can address these envelopes in advance, or email your friend with addresses along the way. The friend can toss your "junk mail" and forward any bills and first class letters etc to you. Or better yet open all your bills and pay them!

OP is spam and so are Eveylyn and jason who just signed on today only to post spam.

There was someone spamming all over other travel boards with exactly this same question.
