Digital Mailbox and Mail Forwarding Service Reviews
Company Overview
PostScan Mail
PostScan Mail is a commercial mail receiving agency that offers smart mailboxes using real US business addresses. We have over 400 locations nationwide and internationally that you can use for personal or business use.
Each mailing address comes equipped with a virtual mailbox that is used to manage your postal mail on your mobile phone or any web-connected device. Our plans include scanning, mail forwarding, shredding, recycling, adding multiple recipients, and more.
Our starter plan starts at $10/month and includes 30 incoming mail items. While our premium plan starts at $30/month and includes up to 120 incoming mail items.
USPS Informed Delivery
Informed Delivery by USPS is an online service to preview your mail and packages before they’re delivered. You can perform limited actions like track packages, reschedule the delivery, and set delivery instructions.
This service is not to be confused with a virtual mailbox because it does not give users the ability to open and scan their mail. Informed Delivery by USPS is free but you must have an active USPS account, verify your identity, and have proof of address to activate it.
It is only offered to residential addresses and PO Boxes and cannot be used for business addresses. You’re not provided with your choice of a professional business address or any additional mail handling benefits.
