Mail Forwarding to Thailand

Renting a US mailbox is a common trend among new and existing businesses in the US and Overseas. Some

companies simply do not have the staff, space or budget to maintain an active mailing department for sending

and receiving important company transactions and communications. Renting a US mailbox offers a cost

effective and efficient solution for the company’s postal and communication needs in addition to virtual US

presence. US Mailbox will offer you a genuine US street address for your business without the excessive

overhead, expensive leases, utility bills and taxes.

If you have your own business, small or big, in USA or overseas, you got to take a minute to consider these top

ten reasons to having your own US mailbox:

1. Reliable: Reliably sending and receiving packages is a priority of many companies. Missing a delivery or a

package can lead to poor communication with clients and portray a bad impression of the company. Renting a

mailbox assures that all your incoming mail and packages will be received by someone 24 hours a day and all

your outgoing correspondence will be mailed on time.

2. Privacy: This feature is popular among home businesses and those not keen on disclosing

their actual location to everyone. A mailbox itself is an entirely different address and hence it

offers complete privacy for the business owner or the company, keeping their actual address

unpublished.
