US mailbox directory
10,944 mailbox centers, shipping stores and pack-and-ship counters across 3,860 US cities, listed with the addresses, phone numbers and websites you need to ask the only questions that matter: does the box come with a street address, will they sign for a parcel, and what does it cost to have the mail follow you.

They all take your mail. What separates them is what else happens at the counter, and how much of your month it costs.
Rents private mailboxes by the month or year and, in most cases, is registered with the Postal Service as a commercial mail receiving agency, which is what lets it sign for your mail and accept UPS and FedEx on your behalf.
A carrier storefront first: drop-offs, labels, boxes and returns. Most also rent mailboxes, but the counter is built around parcels rather than around mail.
Packs the awkward things and ships them: art, instruments, engine parts, crated freight. Usually rents mailboxes too, and usually the cheapest box in town.
A business center that grew a shipping counter. Copies, wide-format printing, binding and notary alongside boxes and mail service.
Every state and the District of Columbia is covered. These are simply the busiest.
Not a franchise storefront. These are the small operators that usually price a box below the carrier stores and will actually talk to you about forwarding.
Five calculators and checklists built for this exact decision. No signup, nothing leaves your browser.
PO Box, private mailbox, virtual mailbox and a coworking address, priced side by side over a year with scan and forward fees included.
What it costs to have mail bundled and sent on, and how much consolidating into one monthly shipment actually saves.
The identification and paperwork a CMRA has to collect before it can release a box to you, in the order you will be asked for it.
Builds a correctly formatted private mailbox address, with the PMB line where the Postal Service expects it.
Side by side on the questions full-time travellers actually weigh: income tax, vehicle registration, licence renewal and how a mail service fits.
Plain-English writing on CMRAs, Form 1583, mail forwarding, bank address rejections and living without a fixed address.
Written for people whose mail arrives somewhere they are not.
Six weeks out to the day you leave: what to set up, what to cancel, and the three pieces of post that genuinely cannot wait until you are back.
State agencies distinguish between where you live and where your mail goes, but not consistently, and not in the same way as each other. What each one wants, and what to do when you have no residential address at all.
Parcel acceptance is the main reason to rent a private mailbox and the main source of unexpected fees. The rules that govern it, and the four questions to ask before your first delivery.
Somebody is opening your post and photographing it. Here is what that means in practice, what protections exist, and the questions worth asking before you hand over the authority.
Full-time travellers pick a state from a list of the ones with no income tax and then discover the parts that actually govern the year: inspections, insurance, health cover and evidence.
It is not arbitrary and it is not about you. Here is the rule the bank is following, why a mailbox address trips it, and the approach that gets an account opened.
Mail is the last thing that assumes you live in one place. This directory exists so that the search for a counter that will hold, scan, sign for or forward your post takes ten minutes instead of an afternoon of phone calls, and so that the difference between a PO Box, a private mailbox and a mail service you never visit is written down somewhere plain.
