Using a Virtual Mailbox | What is it and how does it work?

[@user-uy3eq5hg1s]

This video was a huge help! I'm planning on traveling the USA starting this summer with a travel trailer and needed a solution for my mail. Thanks to you I'll be signing up to Traveling Mailbox. Actually wish I would have done this a long time ago... going to the PO Box and having stacks of physical mail is a huge pain and always a chore. Thanks man!

[@FarWestChina]

My pleasure, Chris! I'm a huge fan of being able to digitize my physical mail. Makes things SO much easier ;)

[@user-uy3eq5hg1s]

Spoke to Traveling Mailbox support and they were incredibly helpful. Their business can help with even more functions than anticipated. Will make sure to use your affiliate link. This service is going to be one of the main players in allowing me to explore the USA and work 100% mobile. Thanks again and will look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@FarWestChina]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this video on virtual mailboxes and digital mail. It really is the perfect solution for the traveler or digital nomad who needs to keep up with their mail! Here's what I recommend: ▶ For USA addresses: www.farwestchina.com/try/traveling-mailbox (get 2 months free!) ▶ For UK addresses: www.farwestchina.com/try/ukpostbox

I am looking for a virtual mailbox in the US so that I could register my business. I was going to go with Earth Class Mail but for the past week they have been utterly unresponsive to my inquiries via phone, via email, and via their online chat. In contrast, even though it was late on a Saturday evening, not only was customer service rep from Traveling Mailbox very responsive and hugely helpful, she offered me a half-off promo code if I signed up for a month, and two months free if I signed up for their annual service (same as your promo code here). Sorry Earth Class Mail, thanks to your non-responsiveness, you've lost me as a customer. I am signing up for Traveling Mailbox first thing on Monday morning! Thank you, +Travel Xinjiang: Far West China for helping me make my decision, and I'll be using your promo link to help out your channel. Have a "like", and a new subscriber!

[@FarWestChina]

Yea, I've used Traveling Mailbox to register my business and it's been great. I don't have a lot of experience with Earth Class Mail, but I can tell you that Traveling Mailbox has worked well for me.

[@mimiwilliams7281]

Thank you. This is all of the information that I needed.

[@FarWestChina]

Great! So glad to hear that Mimi.

[@qmtcop]

Thanks for the video. I've been debating on which service to use. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this service!

[@FarWestChina]

I’m glad you found it useful! Thanks for the kind comment.

@@FarWestChina How does this work for IRS stuff?

[@giarcnella66]

Presently, I am in this exact situation. Having gone back and forth from my home in Thailand to my home in the US over the past two decades. I'm finally making a more permanent move to Thailand. I have no family in the US, or anyone I can depend on to handle my mail, yet still have significant financial ties there. I have two questions: 1) I've read lots of reviews of Traveling Mailbox and Earthclass Mail. Both have glowing reviews; yet also have some rather off-putting negative anecdotes... mostly to do with mis-handling of mail, and hidden fees/costs. Have you had any negative experiences with Traveling Mailbox that are worth sharing? And 2) have you had any problems changing your address to a 'virtual address' with any of the financial institutions you are associated with? Thanks for your feedback!

[@FarWestChina]

Hey Craig, great questions. Hopefully I can answer them well here. First, I haven't had any negative experiences with Traveling Mailbox, but I will add that I don't receive too much mail (less than 10 pieces a month). They've never mis-handled my mail (although I'm sure it's entirely possible that could happen at some point) and I've never received so much mail that I've needed to pay for extra scans/opens. As for your second question, changing my address was the easiest part. The banks could care less and the same goes with my insurance company and even the state of Texas (I use this address to register my business). Once I got the USPS document signed, nobody else seemed to care. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@Fatima66622]

Thank you so much. it really helped me.

[@mckenzydosmas1702]

What forwarding options are available ? I.e post offices, P.O. Boxes etc

[@renaissance17]

Wow sounds great! Thanks

[@FarWestChina]

My pleasure, David!

[@thumpertorque_]

Can I use a virtual mailbox on my driver's license and car's registration? For instance if I live in NY and want a Connecticut residency, can I get a virtual mailbox on CT and use it to register car, driver's license while living in NY?*

[@12vLife]

In Florida can I use Virtual MailBox as my home address on my Florida License, Auto registration and Voter Registration?

[@daniels8563]

Thanks for the video. So if you ask the Traveling Mailbox to forward a package or a letter to your current location, do they just add the cost of that postage to your monthly bill? Can your choose the class of mail, that is, express, standard, by land, sea, or air, with an estimate of the cost before you choose? Thanks in advance.

[@ladycharley]

I have an address through incifile, however, I used my current address for a title for a property I bought in order for the title to be sent to my current address, is this a problem with the state? My incifile address is in the state in which I purchased my property. Do I have to request a change in address at some point?

[@ELCLAVE300]

Would this be good just to have as a regular mail service?

[@zapan5730]

Wait so packages too? How much is it?

[@marynarkw]

Any of those services I can use in my bank account as my home address?

[@quathetruth8314]

Omg life saver!!!

[@puffpuff5336]

OMG love it 😍

[@FarWestChina]

I'm glad it was useful!

[@teresawebdesign9015]

Useful information, thank you! Are you allowed to have more than one address in multiple states? thanks!

[@FarWestChina]

As far as I know, yes you can.

[@Coolbeanstogo]

Excellent video

[@FarWestChina]

Thank you, Cody!

[@bringinguptheparks8919]

Do you know one for Korea/Philippines? :)

[@FarWestChina]

I know there are quite a few virtual offices in Korea and the Philippines, but that's a bit more than most people need. Unfortunately, I don't know of any virtual mailboxes in either country. Sorry! 😒

[@lesliekim2512]

You can have virtual mailbox anywhere in the world. Your mail will be scanned to e mail or if that is a check they'll mail it for you.

[@romantickumar34]

Hi bro, thanks for the video. I have couple of questions could please advise? 1. Is that possible to get virtual address with individual name? 2. Can I use the virtual address (uk based) for Amazon mechanical turk if so how can I withdraw the money I earned? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

[@LadiNubian26]

Is this safe? What if you have private information on a piece of mail...how do you know your info is safe?

[@PaulsJourney1]

Yes I was using anytime mailbox for about a year such horrible service they don't have good customer service overcharge customers. I might try traveling mailbox to help manage my mail hopefully the international mail fees are not overpriced. But your link doesn't give me any months free.

[@kevinlempfert8951]

So, how to physically obtain a credit card, if you use this virtual mail?

[@justkingjordan6820]

Kevin Lempfert should be able to use a physical and mailing

[@FarWestChina]

You can have them forward it to you once it arrives at the address.

[@jimmersonnobles]

Can you use with Google my business

[@FarWestChina]

Yes, you can.

[@ThisWayUpTravel]

really helpful!

[@FarWestChina]

Great! Glad to know it was helpful.

[@digital-analytics]

Are virtual mail address accepted at banks, other financial institutions?

[@FarWestChina]

Yes, they are.

[@digital-analytics]

@@FarWestChina thanks!

[@FarWestChina]

My pleasure! Glad it was useful ;)

[@salazar9190]

So if i have a credit card issued and it comes thtough mail do they scan and give it to me

[@FarWestChina]

Yes, they scan it and yes they can send it to you. I sense sarcasm here, but this is reality.

[@rayva1]

Does USPS or UPS offer this type of service at least?

[@scottpull12]

I doubt it but they should have done it years ago

[@FarWestChina]

They have the PO box, obviously, and I've seen advertisements for something like this, but it has never become popular.

[@andreaholsinger6406]

How do I add people to my account? So they can start Receiving mail there too?

[@FarWestChina]

You are only allowed a certain number of "names" for each address. Every service handles this differently, so you'll need to ask them.

[@carvenyong9345]

do they accept parcel?

[@FarWestChina]

Yes, they do

[@michaelrodgers4473]

can this still work at this time in 2023?

[@citruffioparapiglio]

There are some problems here: if my residence is unchanged, don't matter how many people I tell about my new virtual address... as I will still receive driving fines to my actual address and not the virtual one, as police just look for my residence address. The same goes with the electoral register and so on. In the case I can use the virtual address as residence address, there are different issues and potentially legal, in the case some government officer come to knock my door for unpaid taxes and so on. Also, in UK we can only get a family doctor near were we live. In addition to all of this: what about a new credit card and pin being sent from the bank? do you really want you card pin being scanned and posted online?

[@marynarkw]

are you aware of any of similar website where i can use for my bank account address?

[@lindseyjensen6774]

You said it helped you with taxes. How do you mean?

[@FarWestChina]

I was able to get my tax documents quickly and on time no matter where I am in the world. Previously, I had to wait for my family to receive the mail, open it, send it along to me, etc. It was a huge headache.
