Mail-receiving service agencies like BSSI Virtual Office should be 100% dedicated to having all clients fill out the USPS form 1583. We are registered with the USPS as a commercial mail-receiving agency (CMRA), so we can receive mail on our customers’ behalf. When a company signs up for mail receiving, usually as part of a business address package, the service provider must be a CMRA.
A company must complete and submit a USPS application to become a CMRA. BSSI Virtual Office has filled this application out so our customers will be compliant with the USPS.

PHONE ANSWERING FAQ
Firstly, your business’s live answering is set up for success. Secondly, the receptionist answers each call using a custom greeting. Our receptionists follow the account instructions to handle your caller’s request. We do not sign up more accounts than our staff can handle, and we will always hire more receptionists when necessary.
Calls after 5 PM can be forwarded using the Direct Call Connect service; as a result, the customer receives the after-hours calls. Another option is to have an auto-attendant handle the call. After the auto greeting, the callers will be prompted to choose from the dialing options. The caller will be directed to a voicemail box. Then, the message will be sent via email to the customer.
Direct Call to Cell is when the customer provides a phone number to which we can forward their calls. We then assign a telephone number directly to the customer’s off-system number. Usually, these calls are routed to a mobile phone.
