I had a great time using Traveling Mailbox while I was away in France! I appreciated the fast setup, the notification emails, and, ultimately, the easy cancelation process. I'd use the service again and recommend it to others!
I’ve been using my Traveling Mailbox account since 2009, and it has been a game-changer for my lifestyle. Whether working overseas in the Middle East and China or spending two years on a sailboat traveling through various countries, Traveling Mailbox has consistently delivered outstanding service. Their reliability and seamless operations have made managing my mail effortless, even in remote or challenging locations. Over the years, I’ve had zero issues, and their remarkable service has exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended!
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.

But what really stood out to me was their customer service. Every time I had a question or needed assistance, their team was incredibly responsive and helpful. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made sure I felt comfortable using the services. The Traveling Mailbox not only provides a convenient way to manage my mail, but it also offers peace of mind knowing that I have a reliable team behind me. I can't recommend them enough for anyone looking for a hassle-free mail management solution. Thanks to their exceptional service, I can focus on my work and enjoy my travels without the stress of missing important correspondence!
