How To Keep Your Mail In Order While You Travel w/ PO BOX Zone @poboxzone: Virtual address and mail forwarding service

Your Virtual address and mail forwarding service in the USA!

A lot of people like us have chosen a nomadic life. Or for some, we are the “kind of people” without a permanent address. That may sound a bit off for others, and unfortunately, they describe us as ‘homeless’ – in its strictest sense. But let me clarify that being nomadic is again, a choice we made. Specifically for us, long-term travellers, it can be fun, adventurous and exciting to live in different places. However, it is never easy. It’s not like we just pack our bags, book our tickets and fly like we don’t care. In fact, if you are not prepared for this kind of lifestyle, you are sure to miss a lot of things.

1. Missing important events because you never got the invitation

2. Losing packages because it was sent to a different address

3. Losing letters after packing for your next trip

4. Running a business remotely with fear of not receiving mail and cheques

5. Not having a backup for your internet banking

Are these things too familiar with you?

If you want to start a nomadic lifestyle or already starting it, it is important that you organise how you will receive future mail before venturing into an exciting journey.

Good thing that there is PO BOX Zone. Just to give you an idea, they are an extremely advanced P.O. Box, hence the name. With their services, they can resolve our usual dilemmas. Let me give you an idea.

  • They can receive your mail and scan it on your behalf.
  • You can read your letters wherever you are as long as you are online
  • If you are expecting packages or cheques, you can simply ask them to forward it to you, but for now, they only handle mail.

Let me give you a more in-depth description of POBOX Zone and for sure you would want to sign up for their services after reading the entire post.

POBOX Zone takes away the burden of picking up the mail personally because as I have said, these can be easily accessed online. Upon reading your mail digitally, you have the choice if you want to forward it, or the shred it. They also have a physical address where your packages can be delivered.

  1. I love your site! Interesting topic! relatively I enjoy the benefits of using forwarding services for security. I use Parcelbound mail forwarding services very accurate.

  2. That’s a great service! I love this. I have my mom for now, but I know she won’t do this for free forever, plus some stuff I don’t want her to open.
