How do I start getting mail at my USGM address?

Updated over a month ago

Once you're signed up and verified, your mailbox is ready for action.
Here’s what to do to make sure your mail gets delivered, scanned, and shipped—seamlessly.

1. Let People Know Where to Find You

Tell your senders your new USGM address (including your box number).
And file a Change of Address USPS form to automatically forward mail to your new virtual mailbox.

2. Complete the 1583 Form (USPS Requirement)

To receive letters, packages, or have anything opened/scanned, USPS requires you to submit a notarized Form 1583. You can fill and download the pre-filled form directly from your USGM account. Learn more

No form = no access.
If we get mail for an unverified name, it goes to your Quarantine section. We’ll notify you—but we can’t release it until the 1583 is complete.

3. Make Sure Your Mail Is Properly Addressed

Mail must include:
✅ An approved name (on your account)
✅ Your mailbox number

If it doesn’t, it becomes a Lookup Item—delayed while we try to match the name.
If there are multiple customers with the same name? The item may be returned to sender.

4. Schedule Deliveries During Business Hours

We accept packages Monday–Friday, 8AM–6PM CST.
Avoid weekend deliveries—shippers may leave boxes outside, and we can’t be responsible for items left unattended.

⏰ If a delivery attempt happens outside business hours, you’ll likely receive an undeliverable message from the shipper.

5. Expecting Something Big? Let Us Know.

Larger boxes coming in? Give us a heads-up. Email [email protected] so we can prepare.
Note: we do not accept freight shipments and cannot offer pick up from the warehouse for the same.

Once set up, you’ll be notified as mail arrives—and you can:
📥 View it online
🔍 Request/read a scan
📦 Ship it anywhere

Modern mail starts here. Simple. Secure. Done right.
