For 7 years we lived outside the US. Traveling Mailbox served as our US home base and we could keep our US credit card, bank account, and other US-based services active without having to rely on international mail (slow and unreliable). TM does a great job of scanning and delivering physical mail quickly and their online system is easy to use. When my mom died, I was even able to forward her mail to my existing TM mailbox while I settled her estate. Customer service is responsive and helpful, too. I recommend TM for anyone who needs monitored mail services while on the road or living outside the US.

Traveling Mailbox has been a game-changer for managing my mail while on the go! The convenience of having all my postal mail scanned and accessible online has been invaluable. The interface is user-friendly, and the ability to request scans, forwards, or shredding is seamless.
I highly recommend Traveling Mailbox to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to manage their postal mail remotely. Five stars all the way!

I had great experiences with Traveling Mailbox while living abroad in the Dominican Republic. This was a very convenient option for us to receive mail in the US, receive a scanned copy of it, and then forward what we needed to our international address. I had very good experiences with their customer service as well. I highly recommend this service for anyone who plans to be traveling abroad and wants an option to handle your US mail.

We have used TM for 12 years while our life consisted of living overseas. It was invaluable and allowed us to conduct buisness in a timely fashion. The customer service has always been top notch. We would highly recommend TM to meet your travel correspondence needs.

I relocated to Canada for work several years ago and, since then, have relied on this service to receive/scan all my US mail. I can't say enough about how quietly efficient this service is. All incoming mails get scanned within a few hours of request. Mail and packages I want forwarded get forwarded promptly at reasonable rates. Customer service on phone/chat is personal, fast and efficient. I am a light user and always fit well within the maximum scans, so the baseline monthly cost is a good fit for me.
