Scan Mailboxes is designated as an essential business*. We remain open to provide mail and package receiving, mail scanning, forwarding, and check deposit.
Since Scan Mailboxes is a virtual online mailbox service company, we encourage our customers to make open and scan requests as much as possible before making a forwarding request or pick up request.
As of March 25, 2020, our pickup time window has changed to 10 AM to 3 PM Monday through Friday. Please schedule a pick up by going here: https://pickup.scanmailboxes.com — we ask at least 30 minutes of notice, this ensures that we’ll have your items ready and you’ll be coming in and out quickly for your safety.
NEW!! We have a new contactless signature procedure with your mobile phone, so you won’t have to use a pen to sign off the pickup receipt. We have installed an instruction on the wall in our waiting area for you to follow.
Please continue to practice social (physical) distancing by keeping yourself and others at least 6 feet away from each other.
Safety and health are something we take seriously here at Scan Mailboxes.
