Question - Mail Forwarding Options

Well with @TJ&LadyDi post about USPS service, I figured it was finally time to post this. I too have lost faith in USPS. There have been packages which were misdirected to the wrong post office and then go missing for weeks. The only positive side is that the sender of these packages have...

Mail options

For you full time RVers, what is the best option for receiving your mail since there’s really no address to forward it to?

Question - Managing Mail when on the road

Changing life circumstances... It is looking like more away time is in my future due to extended family needs. How do you and with which group do you manage mail with over extended periods? I'd prefer a local Florida group which appears to limit it to St. Brendens, or possibly Escapee or...

I personally use mom & pop mail forwarding services.

Mail boxes are pmb and company addresses are your address with #xxx to complete the address. (A legal address).

All in all I like giving the small guy my business.

I like the idea of using a small business. I’ll check that out. Thank you!

One more thing!!!
If you choose your shippers first you can order online and have the package held for customer pickup at the customer center. (FedEx, ups...)

Is this for living in a stationary RV? I want to travel.

No, as my description says, I full time. I am also off grid. I follow temperatures, and have been doing so from 1999. Simply ask the service how they forward and sort if you want them to.

On shipping of packages:
Specify what carrier you want to handle your order and have it delivered to the carrier's address and held for customers pickup.

That easy.

Okay. Thanks again!

We have found that pretty simple. We get all our mail delivered to a local "my office" that's the name of the company in our hometown. We pay annually for a mailbox and give them rights to sign for anything needing a sig. If we're in town we just go pickup our mail, if going to be on the road we let them know. They email use when the box is full. We then have them ship the mail "soft side package" to whatever RV Park we happen to be staying at. Usually runs about 15.00 or less shipping. It works out very well for our mail and my mail order meds. Have done it for years. Side notes on meds. If you typically get one or two med filled at Walmart, the refill can be transferred to the Wal Mart at the location you happen to be in and then you go there and pick it up.
