Anyone used MBE etc. for address??

Has anyone used MailBoxes etc for a UK address?
Does it matter if I select suite or unit or box of department??
works out about £5pw so not bad

yes MBE is good for a business account.

I used to use that when I had something in the U.S. - think it was called the same - was good.

Heard they are OK. Tried to use them myself so I had an address for returns but the nearest one was 60 mikes away Ugh!

i use ups store. they will actually give you a street adress with your box, and will forward mail anytime or anywhere in the us for free, so i set mine up, then had them forward it to where i wanted it at, which was a po box..

if mailboxetc.. gives you a street address thats even better yet..

Do they only handle letters or parcels too? I want to use one to get my stealth ebay pourchases delivered. MBE are a stones throw from my real address

They handle everything - big things might get opened.

Cool, well I don't mind them opening stuff.

In the USA Mail Boxes Etc is now the UPS Store, although they DO have some locations that retained the old name.

MBE is actually £99 for 3 months for business. Post office is much cheaper at £10 per month. Would there be any problem using a PO BOX address to get stuff delivered too that I've bought off Ebay?

some other posts on here suggest PO Box's are frowned upon by Ebay- pity
MBE personal option is £66 + £10 registration for 3 months

Yep shame, well £66 isn't so bad I suppose.
