What is the difference between a PO box and a virtual mailbox?

Virtual mailbox is the modern way of handling your mail from anywhere in the world. Virtual Mailboxes can be used:

  • to receive packages from any mail carriers including FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc, while the PO Boxes are limited to USPS mail carriers only.
  • as an official registered mailing address for businesses
  • to check your mail daily without having to physically visit your physical mailbox.

Virtual mailboxes are privately run in conjunction with USPS mail regulations. Virtual mailbox services such as Scan Mailboxes are a great way to manage your mail.
