Sam Laundon Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 My wife and I have been using Nato Mail in Sarasota FL for 4 years and I have just learned that they went out of business 2 months ago. We have also used their address for certain documentation as we do not own a home and have no permanent residence. Now we are at a loss as to what to do. Nato Mail was charging us $100 a year plus postage for our forwarded mail. My question to forum people (non-homeowners, as you obviously would use your other home address) is what do you do about your US mail and address in the US? Thanks in advance - Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 For me, I have found the perfect solution. I had no US residential address. I researched and chose this service: www.travelingmailbox.com This is what I like about it: 1. It provides me with a US address. 2. The price is very reasonable. 3. When each piece of mail arrives, I am notified via e-mail. I enlarge the view to see who the sender is. I then decide what I want done with it and select that from a simple drop down menu. This allows me to have mail that does not interest me to be shredded and deleted at no cost. I instruct which items are to be opened and scanned. That's all done from that drop down menu. I get a notification once scanning is complete. It is usually within just a few hours. I then view it and print only the pages I actually want on my printer. Occasionally, someone might send me a refund check or something similar. I then select Deposit from the menu and they make that deposit for me. I can see its status easily. 4. I very seldom have items forwarded as I print whatever is necessary. There is a small extra charge for forwarding items. I can accumulate several items to be sent in one mailing. I have a friend who is frequently in the US and I have her bring me those items. I do this to avoid getting anything sent here and that way, it costs me nothing extra. 5. I am happy with the customer service (I am usually quite critical of most customer services) which is always available through chat on their site, should I have a question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Turner Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I have being using US Global Mail for many years and I am very satisfied with the service. They will even deposit a check you receive into your US Bank. https://www.usglobalmail.com/pricing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Handymail in San Antonio (carr Chapala-Jocotepec 159C) uses an address in Laredo. They have been in business for many years. Your letters, and magazines are forwarded here 2 or 3 times a week. You can also use your mailbox here as a mail address in Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapalence Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 What little U.S. mail we receive comes directly to our address here. While letters and cards take 4-6 weeks, business mail from the SSA and VA arrives in 7-10 days. Cost? Zero, nada, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 I have not had a US address for 16+ years. What little mail I get comes either to my Mexico Post office box, my house address, or via internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
