We had Traveling Mailbox for 8 years (until today -- we finally stopped traveling!), and I have always been super impressed with how seamless and trouble-free the service has been. I love the flexibility of being able to forward to different addresses, and how quickly the TMB folks are to respond to my mail processing directions. If we once again have a need for this kind of service, I have absolutely no reason to look anywhere else.

We have been very pleased with the TMB mail service. All of our requests for mail/package forwarding were processed quickly, accurately and at the lowest cost available. The TMB app is exceptionally user-friendly and we never encountered any issues using it to manage our mail.
We will definitely use your service again when we resume our travels at a later date. We will recommend you to those we meet along the way. Thanks!

I tried forwarding mail from each place I lived (~10 places in three years) and it was a royal headache. After I signed up with travelling mailbox, I could easily gather my mail in one place, view it online, and have it sent to me if needed. They even have a complementary "cool-down" period after service ends to ensure you get your mail. I strongly recommend this service for any traveller.

I recently signed up for Traveling Mailbox, and the setup process was incredibly smooth! The instructions were clear, and I had my virtual mailbox up and running in no time. The onboarding experience was well-organized, and I appreciated the step-by-step guidance for setting up mail forwarding and account preferences.
The platform itself is user-friendly, making it easy to manage my mail remotely. Customer support has also been great—they were quick to answer my initial questions and made sure everything was set up correctly.
So far, I’m really impressed with the service, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it works in the long run. If you’re looking for a hassle-free virtual mailbox, I’d definitely recommend Traveling Mailbox!

I used the Traveling Mailbox while traveling for a few years after retiring. It was a great service that provided flexibility at a reasonable price. The app is user friendly and I really liked the ability to preview mail scans so I knew what could be trashed, saved digitally on my phone, or forwarded to wherever I was at the time. I don’t often provide reviews, but when I receive good service at a fair price I’ll take the time put it out there!
