Virtual Mailbox Receiving: A Simple Way to Manage Mail Anywhere

Keeping track of mail can be stressful, especially if you travel often or run a business from multiple places. Essential letters and packages can pile up or be missed. A virtual mailbox receiving service helps solve this problem by providing a safe place to send all your mail, no matter where you are. With virtual mailbox receiving, mail carriers deliver your mail to a secure mailbox service instead of your home address. This service handles your mail.

What Happens When Mail Arrives

When mail carriers deliver letters or packages to your virtual mailbox, the staff follows the instructions you set up in advance. You can choose to have your mail held, sent to another address, or scanned.
If you choose scanning, you can log in online and view your mail as clear PDFs. This makes it easy to check important letters, stay organized, and avoid missing anything important.

Handling Packages Made Easy with Virtual Mailbox Receiving

Virtual mailboxes are not just for letters. They can also receive packages and boxes, which is helpful for people who shop online or run small businesses.
Most virtual mailbox addresses can accept deliveries from major carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. This means you can use the address just like a normal mailing address for most shipments.

Items Virtual Mailboxes Can’t RCan’te

To keep everyone safe, virtual mailbox receiving has rules on what the service can accept. By signing up, you agree not to send certain items to that address.
Some items that are not allowed include very large or heavy packages, illegal drugs, alcohol, live animals, and food that needs to stay cold. Other restricted items include fireworks, ammunition, leaking liquids, loose lithium-ion batteries, and hazardous materials. These rules help protect staff and keep the service running smoothly.

Deciding Where Your Packages Go

Not everyone wants all packages sent to their virtual mailbox. Some people use the address only as a public business address but still prefer personal deliveries to their home.
Others may live abroad or travel for long periods. In those cases, packages can be sent to the virtual mailbox first and then forwarded later when needed. This gives you more control over when and where your items arrive.

Choosing What Happens After Virtual Mailbox Receiving

When a tracked package arrives, BSSI will notify you. From there, you can decide what you want to do next. If you’ve set up email forwarding, the package will be sent out according to your schedule.
If your mail is being held, the package will stay at the office until you decide to forward it or pick it up. You can choose where it should be shipped, how fast it should go, and which carrier to use. You can also choose to add insurance, request a delivery signature, or combine multiple items into a single shipment.

Understanding Shipping Costs

Shipping costs depend on a few simple things, such as how far the package is going, how fast you want it delivered, and which shipping company you choose.
If you want to know the price before making a decision, you can ask a helpful BSSI team member for an estimate.

A Stress-Free Way to Handle Mail with Virtual Mailbox Receiving

Virtual mailboxes make it easier to stay connected to your mail and packages from anywhere in the world. Whether you are traveling, living overseas, or running a remote business, they offer a safe and flexible way to manage your mail without worry or stress.

A virtual office lets a business work without renting a regular office. Instead of a full workspace, companies get a business address, help with mail and calls, and access to meeting rooms when needed. The services include a physical address, mail receiving and forwarding, and a receptionist staff.

You can open a business account at many banks using a virtual office business address. Each bank has different requirements, so check with your bank. Since you can register your business under a virtual address, it is also suitable for a business account at many financial institutions.

With a mail forwarding service, you provide a mail forwarding address and choose a schedule for us to send your mail. How we forward mail and how often is determined by you. Our staff will collect, store, and then forward mail as prearranged. Charges apply.

Our friendly staff can help list your assigned phone number and business address with the local 411 directory, whether you choose a virtual office in Las Vegas or New York City. This service helps make your business easier to find and adds credibility. Please note that a one-time setup fee and ongoing monthly listing charges apply.

Yes, absolutely! Your mail is available for pickup during our regular weekday office hours. If you’re not sure whether you have mail waiting for you, we recommend giving us a quick call or sending an email before stopping by. This helps save you time and ensures your visit to the office is quick and convenient. We also offer drive-thru mail pickup at our Las Vegas location!

 

For our valued clients, mail forwarding is easy. The total cost includes postage plus a 30% mail handling fee. This helps cover the careful processing and timely delivery of your mail. If you’d like more details or have questions about how mail forwarding works, please click here to learn more.

All BSSI Virtual Office and Phone Answering agreements are between two companies, not an individual and multiple companies. BSSI is a business-to-business (B2B) service provider. The agreements cannot be assigned to another company. Do your clients know you by another name? Your fictitious name (DBA) can be added and shared with your corporation or LLC at a discounted rate in the mailbox. Each company name and/or sister company requires its agreement and incurs fees. 

Mail receiving is included with your business address services, so you can rest easy knowing your mail is handled for you. You’re welcome to pick up your mail at our facility at no additional cost. If you choose extra services like mail scanning or forwarding, separate fees will apply based on the service selected.

A virtual office helps reduce costs like rent, utilities, commuting, and office supplies while still giving your business a professional image. It offers a flexible, modern solution for today’s fast-changing economy. At the same time, a virtual office supports business growth, boosts team morale, and allows you to focus your time on what matters most.

A virtual mailbox provides your business with a real street address that can be legally used for tax purposes. Unlike a P.O. Box or home address, it allows you to receive official mail and packages at a professional location. Many services scan and forward your mail, letting you view important documents online while staying organized and professional.

A free virtual office address might sound appealing, but many successful businesses choose paid services instead. Investing in a quality virtual office plan provides better support, reliability, and room to grow. Rather than relying on a limited free option, an affordable paid plan can meet your needs as your business expands and help set you up for long-term success.

To get your services up and running, we’ll just need a few things from you:

  • A copy of the credit cardholder’s valid ID (such as a driver’s license or passport).
  • The setup fee and first month’s payment.
  • A completed New Account Packet, including the Service Agreement.
  • A notarized USPS Form 1583.

BSSI will keep you updated every step of the way with helpful email notifications about your account status and service details.

All clients are automatically billed on the 1st of each month for the current month’s service fees using a credit card. Your invoice will also include any variable charges from prior month(s), if applicable. We accept payment by all major credit cards. Please note that we’re unable to accept cash or check payments at this time.

Getting started with a virtual office is quick and easy! Simply visit our website and purchase a Virtual Office Las Vegas or NYC package through our secure checkout. After signing up, you’ll receive an email with your service agreement, required forms, and USPS Form 1583. Once you return the completed documents, we’ll finish setting up your account and get you ready to go.

Mail-receiving service agencies like BSSI Virtual Office are 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), allowing us to receive mail on behalf of our customers. When a company signs up for mail receiving, usually as part of a virtual office business address package, the service provider must be a CMRA.

Businesses of all sizes can use virtual offices. Small businesses like them because they save money and help improve cash flow. Traveling professionals can use virtual offices to access a quality workspace when needed. Virtual offices are also great for start-ups and growing businesses because they offer flexible, low-cost options that accommodate remote workers. 

Your company name can be displayed in the physical directory at our office center. Availability may vary by location, so we recommend checking your chosen office for details. Suite directory listings include a monthly fee, and additional charges may apply. Please note that space in the directory can be limited.

We do accept parcels, courier items, and packets (including business documents) from all mail carriers. Our company cannot accept any item exceeding 10 pounds in weight or larger than 11-7/8 inches x 13-5/8 inches. We also do not accept items containing dangerous, live, or perishable goods.

The Virtual Offices of Las Vegas facility provides private offices and conference rooms for one-on-one interviews or larger meetings. Our facilities are available on a reservation basis, subject to location and availability. The New York City office is strictly a mail facility with a reception area.

Clients can use our address for their business address for local business license requirements. The client’s industry must be permitted for our location through the local business licensing authorities. Please refer to your city’s local licensing authority for business requirements. 

A mobile office is a flexible work setup that allows a person or business to work from multiple locations rather than a single, fixed office. However, if you want a polished, professional business image without paying for a long-term office lease, a virtual office is also essential. Many small and home-based businesses choose virtual offices for their affordability, credibility, and convenience.

A virtual office creates all the location and service needs for companies to conduct business virtually. First, a local business address with mail receiving and forwarding services helps meet all marketing and correspondence requirements. Second, a local phone number with a staff of receptionists to answer all your calls. Lastly, use of an on-site conference room, fax, and copy machine (location dependent).

A P.O. box is a locked mailbox inside a post office where you collect mail and small packages from the U.S. Postal Service. A virtual mailbox is a modern service that provides a real street address for receiving mail from multiple carriers. Staff can scan, forward, or securely shred your mail based on your instructions.

The BSSI phone number assigned to your account is owned by our telecommunications service provider. You’re welcome to use this number under the terms of our Service Agreement as long as your account remains active and in good standing. However, please note that these numbers are reserved exclusively for our clients and cannot be shared or transferred to others.
