Virtual Mail vs. Paper Mail:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Mail Security?<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re tackling mail security as our first point because it may just be the most important.<\/p>\n

Your postal mail should only be viewed by you. If a bill or credit card statement falls into the wrong hands, you can be at a risk of identity theft.<\/p>\n

Instead of having your mail waiting for you in the mailbox, your mail will be delivered to secured mail facilities, only handled by trained mail professionals.<\/p>\n

All packages are handled with caution and stored in lockers until you need them forwarded.<\/p>\n

As for businesses, you shouldn\u2019t jeopardize important documents or invoices by having it unattended in the mailroom; you can virtually access it and use the advanced shedding feature to ensure your security.<\/p>\n

With the shredding & recycling option, all mail pieces you no longer need can be shredded with a simple request.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Faster mail sorting & handling<\/h3>\n

Your mail is received at mail facilities and the envelopes are scanned<\/a>, then you get notifications with all new mail and the scans are uploaded to your mailbox.<\/p>\n

You log into your account and send out handling requests. They vary from open & scan, forward, shred & recycle, or archive.<\/p>\n

All your postal mail will be handled efficiently and you\u2019ll have a clean and organized mailbox within a few minutes. You no longer need to sort through multiple envelopes and figure out what to do next.<\/p>\n

3. Save money on mail<\/h3>\n

Virtual mail means you won\u2019t need all the expenses that come with a mailroom. Usual mailrooms require printers, scanners, paper storage, and mailroom operators<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With a virtual mailbox, all employees can be recipients and receive their mail separately.<\/p>\n

A virtual mailbox is a cost-effective solution that lets you handle your mail faster.<\/p>\n

4. Never lose mail again<\/h3>\n

Losing an important mail piece can cause problems in your business and with your customers. If your paper mail is placed in piles everywhere, you can easily lose your mail.<\/p>\n

With a virtual mailing address service<\/a>, all your scanned mail is archived electronically in your mailbox.<\/p>\n

Whenever you need mail, you\u2019ll easily be able to pull it out with a quick search. Navigating through your mailbox will be as simple as your email; you can create folders for mail, search and mark items as important, and more.<\/p>\n

As for your packages, they will be safely stored waiting for you to forward to your address<\/a>.<\/p>\n
