A US Global Mail virtual mailbox is a service where you get a permanent US address and 24/7 access to your mail from anywhere in the world. We receive your physical mail, scan it, and make it available to you virtually (digitally). When mail arrives, you’re notified and can view scanned images of the envelope or package. You then decide whether to have the contents scanned, forwarded, shredded, or stored.
Key benefits include 24/7 access to your mail from anywhere, a permanent US address, secure mail management, elimination of paper clutter, and the ability to manage your mail efficiently online.
A P.O. Box in contrast is a lockable mailbox at a post office or another retail location, rented for receiving mail. You have to physically go to the po box to retrieve your mail.
US Global Mail provides a real street address, not a P.O. Box, where you can receive mail and packages. Additionally your USGM address can be used for most official purposes including IRS, banks and more.
