Shop Online Even When You’re Traveling - Get Your Own Digital Mailbox Address

Travel and online shopping don’t mix very well. What if your package delivers while you’re away on a short business trip? Will it be stolen from your front steps before you return? If you are on an extended trip in the U.S. or abroad, how do you get your items shipped in a timely manner to your next stop? It’s time for you to get your personal Digital Mailbox.

It’s no secret that online shopping is booming. In 2016, 190 million consumers, over half the U.S. population, shopped online. U.S. homeowners receive an average of 27 packages a year. These numbers will continue to rise, and so will the number of stolen packages. Nearly 11 million homes in the U.S. have had a package stolen in the past 12 months

What to do? The typical suggestions include staying home when expecting a delivery, asking neighbors to pick up your package, delivering packages to the home of a relative, installing surveillance cameras or devices such as a lock box, or using locker systems at retail stores. Some of these solutions are inconvenient, impractical or too costly.

Here’s a better solution. Get your own mailing address at a local shipping store for as little as $9.99 a month, that comes with your personal Digital Mailbox from iPostal1. Real street addresses are now available at 400 locations in 47 states. Packages delivered by any carrier will be securely stored until you return to pick them up or request that they be forwarded to your next destination when you are on an extended trip.

You can use your digital mailbox address not only for packages, but for your postal mail as well. You get a notification when new mail arrives. Use the iPostal1 app or go online to see an image of every mail item in your digital mailbox, and with just a click or two, choose what to do with each item – forward, open and scan, shred or discard. Even deposit a check. Add a local phone number for phone forwarding, voice mail and electronic fax – all in one place.

Now you can shop online when you’re traveling with no worries. Packages are secure and waiting for you upon your return. You can also consolidate mail and packages to forward to wherever you want and save on shipping. You choose the carrier and service level, with the real-time shipping prices displayed, so you know exactly what it will cost before you ship it. That’s what you get with a digital mailbox address from iPostal1. You should check it out.
