Mailbox Service

Whether you choose a mailbox service or a post office box, your at home business will certainly need some way of receiving mail. In the past post office boxes have been the norm in doing business but these come with many disadvantages, such as only being able to receive your mail at certain times of the day and not being able to receive packages from companies such as UPS. In addition having a PO Box can bring a level of unprofessionalism that you may not want associated with your business. Because post office boxes have let a lot to be desired for the up and coming business owner this left a new market for companies providing mailbox service for individuals that need it.

A mailbox service provides all the benefits of having a post office box, addresses important issues of privacy but eliminates the problems inherent in post office boxes. No longer will you be unable to have your packages shipped UPS or Federal Express, as most mailbox service companies can accept them. Post office boxes do not accept these shipments meaning that you must take deliveries with your home business you will need to give out your home address. Many business owners are not comfortable with this option as it can compromise your privacy and leave you and your family open to clients bothering you at home. Using a mailbox service rather than a post office box will provide you with an actual street address, this in and of itself will lend more credibility to your business, people will naturally trust a business with a street address more than they will a PO box. A mailbox service brings polish and professionalism to your business that having a post office box will not.

Mail box services will set you up with your own unique address to which you can have your mail sent to. As a new added feature most mailbox companies will send you an email letting your know that you have mail and who your mail is from. This will save you wasted trips to the mailbox office to look for mail that is not there. A mailbox service will also forward your mail to you at your actual address while keeping that address private. This means you will not need to go to the office unless you really want to or the mail you have is urgent and you need it right away. Another benefit to this type of service is being able to choose where you want your business address to be.
