Using a PMB and your own address at the same time - Mail forwarding

[christianbale]

This method is tested and works perfect.

-opened a UPS PMB at a ups store ($50 for 3 months)
-they gave me a pmb with an actual address (1234 ⊗⊗⊗⊗ st suite 123 - 123)
-setup mail forwarding using ups pmb at the ups store to real home address

can be used to setup paypal and ebay
get mail to your door without using your real address and no one will see your home address

also, doesn't matter what name you use for when someone is sending you something to the ups pmb, it gets delivered as long as the correct address is listed

of course you can always just go to the ups store to pick up the mail in your pmb, but this method is easier and safe

That's neat. I didn't know you could forward mail like that.

Thanks Christianbale.

Great, one question though christianbale, do you put in the forwarding order at the post office that services the UPS store or actually at the UPS store itself. If the latter, does this make the UPS store employees look at you funny wondering why you having mailed forwarded to your home because in my area you have to provide ID to open a UPS store account, and they know your real address and will probably wonder why you are having them forward the mail to your home address.

HI- Whenever I use this method , I tell them I am a Rep for Cosmetics firm, and I travel around setting up stores...so I need my mail Private

[coolandcalm]

Do they charge you to forward the mail?

[christianbale]

I setup forwarding directly at the ups store. It didn't cost me any extra.
