Does anyone use a virtual mailbox

olsoncheryl

We are moving to Oaxaca next month. We want to keep our US bank account. I have been reading about using a virtual mailbox service as an easy way to have a physical US address without having to rely on a relative at home. Has anyone used one of these services (Traveling Mailbox, iPostal1)?

I just signed up for Traveling Mailbox but I have yet to receive a package here so I don't have a lot to tell. However, their customer service is stellar. They answer questions immediately through a chat and email. Very clear, easy to understand system and not expensive. Good luck.

Has anyone used USA2ME? I signed up and paid, then they provided lengthy forms to be filled out and notarized. Then they said since my wife and I have different last names our fee would be increased, even though all our mail will be coming from the same address to the new address.

Every time I meet a hurdle they present, "But wait! There's more!"

If they didn't already have my credit card information l would change providers.
