Traveling Mailbox
One of the few providers here whose real street addresses accept packages from every major carrier
What is Traveling Mailbox?
Most PO-box-style virtual addresses only accept USPS mail, but Traveling Mailbox's roughly 50 US addresses are real street addresses that take deliveries from USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL alike, a meaningful distinction for anyone who orders through private carriers regularly. Travis Poole built the company in Sanford, North Carolina in September 2011, aimed specifically at travelers, RVers, expats, military personnel, and digital nomads; operations have since moved to Orlando, Florida. Every plan includes scanning by default, and a mobile app lets customers decide what happens to each individual piece of mail as it arrives.
Traveling Mailbox works primarily with clients in US expats abroad, Full-time RVers, Military personnel stationed overseas, Digital nomads sectors. Its primary differentiator is: Real street addresses that accept all major carriers, unlike the USPS-only PO-box-style addresses several competitors use.
