Juggling personal and professional obligations, have you ever wondered about getting a virtual address? If you have ever asked yourself, "What is a virtual address?" you may fall into one or more of these categories:

  • You want to establish your business presence in another city or state
  • You have a business at home but don't want your home address in correspondence
  • Your packages go missing due to theft
  • You miss delivery windows for your packages
  • You travel frequently for extended periods
  • You're relocating
  • You receive a large volume of mail that you can't keep up with

If you're considering receiving your mail and packages somewhere other than your home or business, it's time to switch to a virtual address from iPostal1.

What Is a Virtual Address—and Are You Ready to Get One?

A virtual address is an address other than your home or business where you can receive mail or packages. Virtual address locations are often in retail pack-and-ship stores or professional office buildings. Using a virtual address allows you to receive postal deliveries in a secure location and determine the next steps for your mail or packages on your own time.

An iPostal1 virtual address gives you a real street address from 4,250 digital mailbox locations where you can receive mail and packages from all carriers, including USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, and Amazon. Using our app or website, you can manage your mail 24/7 from anywhere worldwide. From your digital dashboard you can opt to open and scan, forward, trash, or shred your mail.

If you’re considering an alternative to using your physical address to receive mail and packages, here are six signs you're ready to switch to a virtual address:

Sign #1. You're Starting a New Business

Suppose you're starting a new business and need a permanent business address or are expanding an existing business and need to establish a local business presence. In that case, a virtual address gives you stability for your endeavors.

Many small business owners use their virtual business address as their official mailing address to register a company, open a bank account, or apply for business licenses. Limiting your business address to your neighborhood is unnecessary; a virtual business address gives you presence in a professional location and area.

Sign #2. You're Tired of Mixing Business with Personal Life

Do you have an established home-based business and are concerned about separating business and personal correspondence? Using your home address for business purposes can expose your personal information to public business records and may appear unprofessional in your business dealings.

A virtual address for business allows you to present a professional image to the world. iPostal1 offers virtual business addresses at prestigious office buildings and co-working spaces.

Sign #3. You're Tired of Package Theft or Missed Deliveries

If porch pirates have helped themselves to your packages or you can never seem to time your mail deliveries just right, a virtual address is a perfect solution. It eliminates the need to use your porch as a mailbox.

Each iPostal1 mail center is a USPS-approved CMRA (Commercial Mail Receiving Agency) that accepts packages from all carriers. You receive email alerts when your mail arrives, so you never have to play "find the package" again with delivery services. Perfect for apartment dwellers or those with inconsistent schedules, secure mail handling at your iPostal1 virtual address is better for planning and peace of mind.

Sign #4. You're Always On the Move

Are you adopting the digital nomad lifestyle, or is a period of heavy travel coming up? A virtual address enables you to access your mail remotely, 24/7, from your smartphone or laptop. Mail and packages can be received and held securely or forwarded at your discretion.

Perfect for remote workers and corporate travelers, virtual addresses ensure you never miss a postal delivery and can receive mail and packages no matter where your travels take you.

Sign #5. You Want Consistency—No Matter Where Life Takes You

Transitioning to a new location? Whether you're relocating to another city, are part of a military family, or are a student, a virtual address gives you a consistent physical address no matter where you're moving.

If you need to establish your local presence before you're on the ground for employment or other matters, you can easily obtain a new mailing address from iPostal1 that allows you to transition smoothly. You never have to worry about mail forwarding from place to place with a virtual address solution.

Sign #6. You're Overwhelmed with the Volume of Mail

Embracing minimalism? Tired of unwanted mail? Home and mailbox cluttered with junk mail, bills, or client correspondence? Your iPostal1 virtual address provides a digital mailbox where you receive full-color scans of all your mail items, viewable on mobile or desktop, eliminating the need for physical mail unless necessary.

You won't miss important mail mixed in with flyers or promotions anymore because iPostal1's mail scanning shows you what you've received and allows you to manage your postal deliveries piece by piece. You can also accurately and efficiently view and manage your correspondence in your digital dashboard.
