PO Box address services have changed significantly in recent years. Yet when people think of a mailbox service, the first thing that automatically comes to mind is the traditional PO Box service offered by Royal Mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These conventional\nRoyal Mail PO Box addresses don\u2019t provide you with an actual address. This can\nbe a disadvantage for some users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Subsequently, PO Box address service providers like LowCost LetterBox, have created an alternative solution. We call them mailbox addresses to differentiate them from the traditional PO Box service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mailbox addresses give\nyou all the benefits as the age-old PO Box. They provide you with a private\nmailing address to receive and access mail in a secure environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although a PO Box and a\nmailbox rental address are fundamentally the same, there are several\nsignificant differences between the two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having access to a\nmailing address other than your private residence can provide you with several\nadvantages. The type of people who typically benefit from a PO Box or mailbox\nare: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renting a mailbox\nprovides you with an actual address. At LowCost LetterBox, we have several mailbox addresses in London<\/a>, including prestigious addresses in Oxford\nCircus and Baker Street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The capacity to publish\nan actual address on your website, business stationery and marketing materials\nis particularly advantageous for business owners, freelancers and entrepreneurs\nwho work from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A physical address\nprojects a positive image of your business and lends credibility to your\nservices in the minds of prospective clients and customers. Large businesses\ncan also benefit from mailing addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you register as a limited company in the UK<\/strong><\/a>, you have to report your official mailing address to Companies House and publish the address on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Directors of a limited\ncompany are also obligated to report a physical mailing address to Companies\nHouse. Again this information is made available to the general public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A PO Box mailing\naddress provides you and your company with privacy and protection. It is not\nunusual for unwanted visitors to turn up at your home or place of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A PO Box service\nprovider is obligated to maintain client confidentiality. We will not reveal\nyour private address to anybody – other than the police if they are\ninvestigating a crime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t have to be a\nUK resident to benefit from a PO Box mailing address in the UK. You can live\nanywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are the owner of\na business overseas, an expat or travelling the world, a PO Box mailing address\nin the UK is a convenient solution. LowCost LetterBox also provides mail forwarding<\/a> and mail scanning services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mail scanning involves\nscanning your post to our secure servers so that you can access them on your\nmobile phone or computer – no matter where you are in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, we\nforward your mail to an address you provide us. This means you are free to move\naround at will. Just let us know your change of address. With a PO Box postal\naddress, you only need to inform one company one time rather than a dozen or so\npeople every time you change location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Renting a mailbox also\nmeans you can receive parcels and packages shipped by international couriers.\nThe standard PO Box service offered by Royal Mail does not enable you to\nreceive post from third-party couriers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s more, Royal Mail\ndoes not sign for recorded deliveries. Subsequently, if you only have a\nstandard PO Box, you are limited as to the type of post you can actually\nreceive there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n LowCost LetterBox is\nhappy to sign for recorded deliveries on your behalf. We will even forward them\non to you or keep them in our secure fulfilment centre until you collect them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A modern mailbox rental\nservice offers you much more flexibility than the standard PO Box service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n LowCost LetterBox also provides a wide range of other services that you may find useful alongside a smart PO Box mailing address. Check out our standard packages or tell us what you need and we can customise a package that is tailor-made for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n PO BOX IN LONDON: HOW DOES IT MAKE A GOOD BUSINESS IMPRESSION<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n HOW A VIRTUAL OFFICE CAN HELP YOU (RUN YOUR BUSINESS FROM HOME)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nPO Box Mailing\nAddress in the UK<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
