What our customers say about using Anytime Mailbox as their Alternate Address

I purchased a mailbox to establish a business address for my home-based web design company. It was quick and straightforward, including the interaction with a notary online. I now have an excellent-looking address!

Joe H.

Greatness! Love the service options! Needed an easy-to-access, efficient business address. A cost-effective and value-focused place that provides the virtual business address that meets my needs.

Ali S.

Great way to live abroad or be nomadic and keep your mail in one spot. We use our mailbox for an LLC and have been happy with the mail forwarding when we need to have something sent to us.

Shane H.

Starting my own business and wanted a solid address that was not a PO box address, I would take the time to look into this as an option as a business owner. Perfect for what I needed!

Devin B.

As my main office is at home, the service provides me with a separate discrete mailing address that protects my home privacy, while giving me a “physical” address for my mail. It’s been an amazing tool for my business.

Matt H.

Service is quick, and the cost is fair. I’m a small business owner so this seemed right up my alley in terms of what I needed. Cost and reliability based on reviews. Needed something that was cheap and cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions on an Alternate Address

The alternate address is an extra information field that should be used when the primary address doesn’t apply, such as if you have a P.O. Box or virtual mailbox. This should be filled in instead of the primary address.

Renting a P.O. Box or Virtual Mailbox is the best option if you don’t have an address – head down to your local post office or visit AnytimeMailbox.com to receive mail without giving out your home address.

If you don’t have an address, you can have your mail delivered to General Delivery at your local post office, rent a P.O. box, try a co-working space, or simply obtain a virtual mailbox with Anytime Mailbox.

Being a permanent resident at a certain address implies that one has made the address their permanent residence in order to be considered a resident for income tax purposes. This excludes financial institutions, post office boxes, and addresses only used for mailing.

A virtual mailbox offers a secure, remote way to manage physical mail, providing users with a real street address that can be used as an alternate address.
