Ask HN: How do you handle your physical mail or virtual mailbox address?

3 pointsby markeddownalmost 6 years ago
I&#x27;ve been using a virtual mailbox service (Earth Class Mail, earthclassmail.com) for personal and business mail in California &amp; New York over the past few years. Lately more and more entities (banks, creditors, insurers) detect my &#x27;premium physical addresses&#x27; as mail forwarding locations and reject them as though they were PO Box numbers. I then use my real residential address as required, defeating the purpose of using an expensive virtual service.<p>Meanwhile Earth Class Mail has more than doubled my monthly bill with insidious fees, and I&#x27;m receiving important mail later and later (sometimes weeks, missing deadlines and due dates) so I&#x27;ve decided to at least change providers, as painful as it is. We don&#x27;t have a permanent office location and for privacy&#x27;s sake I don&#x27;t want to use my home address for business purposes, but there must be a better way. Especially for business, how do you handle addresses and incoming mail? Thank you!
