Us Mailbox Service


There are many different reasons for using a US mailbox service and none more apparent than for the small overseas business that is trying to gain a foothold in the US market. When your company is based in a foreign country it can be difficult dealing with clients and other businesses that are based in the US. In order to facilitate your ability to deal with your US based business having access to a mailbox address in the US can make it much easier to send and receive your mail. Often when you are a small offshore business it can be virtually impossible to establish the necessary tools for doing business in the US such as bank accounts and credit cards. If you have a US street address through a mailbox service, you can apply to any bank using that address making them more likely to do business with you and issue you bank accounts and credit cards. When you have a mailbox service you are given an actual street address that you can use to direct your mail to, this includes packages


Companies like UPS and Federal Express will not deliver to a PO Box, making it very hard to have packages shipped to you. If your offices are overseas the cost of shipping can be extremely high whereas if your mailbox service can handle shipping coming in and going out, your costs can be significantly reduced. In many cases one larger mail package can be sent with the bulk of your mail on a daily basis rather than sending them out to you one piece at a time. The business world today utilizes dozens of magazines to help expand their knowledge base and having them shipped to a foreign address can be very expensive and take weeks for them to arrive. However if you have a US mailbox service you can enjoy standard magazine subscription rates that include postage and then have them forwarded to you in your regular mail.


Not only will this save you money but you will get your magazines within a few days of their original publication date. Since mail and email are such a large percentage of many overseas companies's business a good mailbox service should also offer you a way to check your mail online so that you can keep track of important letters and packages. You should be able to establish a series of mailboxes that allow you to sort out the mail you receive making it easier to track the most important ones first. You can also have the assistant at your mailbox service sort out and dispose of any junk mail you receive so as not to waste your time and money. In many cases having a prestigious US mailing address can help a relatively new overseas company get off to a good start.
