Have you ever moved, stood in a long line at the Post Office, sat on a long phone call with a company’s customer service when your package disappeared from your porch, or pulled out wet, soggy mail from your outdoor community mailbox? These are all common occurrences and annoyances that can be eliminated or drastically reduced by doing one thing: Opening a Private Mailbox.
Not convinced? Here are 5 reasons to call your local PostalAnnex to open your own personal mailbox today.
1. Package Receiving
We’ve all seen the videos of porch pirates following UPS and FedEx trucks around to steal packages off front steps of homes. The drivers leave the package at the door and the thief waits for them to leave and takes the package. Then, you get home and your package isn’t there. You have to call and talk to someone in customer service on the phone that your package was stolen. This can be a long and annoying process. With a private mailbox at PostalAnnex, you can have your packages sent to the store for safe storage until you can pick it up. That way, there’s no more worrying about your package not being there when you get home.
2. Weather Damage
Maybe porch pirates aren’t an issue for you. However, sometimes inclement weather can come into play. Whether it’s driving rain or hail in a thunderstorm or even a blizzard, packages left outside in this weather have a good probability of being damaged or ruined, including the contents. Even outdoor community mailboxes or personal boxes at your home are susceptible to leaking and all of a sudden your mail is drenched and unreadable.
With a private mailbox at PostalAnnex, your mail is kept safe and sound indoors, dry and safe from the elements.
3. Moving
Everyone knows moving is a lot of work. Whether it’s packing up all your stuff, renting a truck, or the aches and pains after hauling boxes, moving is full of headaches. There are many administrative tasks that go along with it as well, such as changing your address for your utilities, credit cards, insurances, etc. Having a private mailbox can cut out most of that chore as your mailing address won’t change, so you won’t have to worry about missing mail during the transition or after.
4. Long Lines
Post Offices are notorious for having long, slow-moving lines. If you’ve ever picked up your mail and needed to mail a package or envelope, you’ve been there, a 5-minute errand turns into a 30-minute test of patience. With a private mailbox at PostalAnnex, you can grab your mail, buy some stamps, send a package, make some copies all in one stop in a fast, efficient manner, thanks to the well-trained friendly staff.
5. Identity Theft
