Mailbox Rental

[Haidukken]

Here we go, discuss the following:

1.Best Mailbox Rental service in UK and why?
2.Different ways of doing it- Self storage, Mailboxes or something else?


I'm setting up the standard stealths with random accounts because I seriously don't expect any returns from them. Statisticly I have over 1300 trasnactions and only 3 returns, all were damaged in post(Shook some delicate parts loose).
I do sell some higher price items every now and again, £100+, and I thought perhaps it would be good idea to set up 1 or 2 stealth accounts with actual return addresses that I have access to.
At first I thought about self storage option, because I could keep my stock in there as well and not just use it for returns.
Then I Googled a bit and found that Mailboxes etc. do rather good packages as well.

So please, help me out a bit and help me with some suggestions- What has worked for you that doesn't eat a hole into your pocket.

I would look local for an address, there are loads of places that do address rental or managed returns. you might be surprised how close you can find something at a reasonable price.


Another thing is , I would forget about any account no2, no3, no 4 and so on until I had one good account up and running for a while, than start to think about account no2

its easy to create accounts , the trick it to keep then up and running well.

You nailed it there joffieJaffa, 'the trick is to keep them up and running well', that is the key to all future success or loss! That is a much bigger stumbling block than people realise, untill they are actually in the midst of operating those accounts, and making the right choices at the right times!

In a way, I'm not THAT worried about the whole "up and running" part because the items I sell are all unique, low risk(no risk almost) and inexpensive. I hardly ever sell same item twice and I have few different ways to "make the accounts looks different" using different listing templates, photo lightboxes and other bits and pieces.

BUT, thanks anyway I guess.
