It’s the ideal solution for temporary needs, ensuring privacy and convenience during personal transitions with cost-effective and efficient mail handling.
What is a Temporary Address?
A temporary address is a mailing address used for a brief period, such as during travel, relocation, or a temporary stay. People may use a temporary address for various reasons, including vacations, work assignments, or transitional periods when their usual address may not be applicable.
One common use of a temporary address is during travel. When individuals go on vacation or business trips, they may use a temporary address to receive mail and packages while away from their permanent residence. This helps in ensuring that important documents or items are securely managed, even when the person is not at their usual home address.
Temporary addresses are also valuable during relocations. When someone moves to a new place temporarily, such as for a short-term job assignment or educational program, they may use a temporary address for handling mail and other communications. This avoids the complications of updating their permanent address for a short-lived stay.
Additionally, a temporary address can be advantageous for maintaining privacy in certain situations. For example, individuals undergoing personal changes or transitions may choose to use a temporary address to receive mail discreetly. This provides a layer of privacy, especially when their usual address might not be suitable or when they want to keep their location private for a specific period.
A virtual mailbox like Anytime Mailbox adds convenience to a temporary address by making mail and packages immediately accessible online. Users can request to open and scan mail instead of waiting for it to be forwarded, and get real-time notifications on received mail and packages.

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.
