MAILBOX RENTAL

Are you someone that needs privacy and security for your mail and packages? 

Consider renting a private mailbox at Postal Express.

 

There are many benefits to the convenience of having a mailbox at Postal Express:

 

  • Your mail is safe behind two locks – front door and your mailbox.

​

  • Enjoy 24-hour Access – Pick up your mail whenever it's most convenient for you. Your mail and packages will be safe and secure.

​

  • Your mailbox is private – we don't disclose to others that you have a mailbox.​

  • We'll accept and secure packages for you – don't chance a package getting stolen from your doorstep; we'll accept packages from UPS, FedEx, USPS and other couriers and keep them secure until you arrive… on your time.

​

  • Safety, for you and your family – if you have a business and don't want customers showing up at your house, protect your family with a private mailbox at Postal Express.

​

  • Professional appearance – having a mailbox at Postal Express means you have a street address which gives your business a professional appearance.  And many people view a business with a street address as a long-term operation, not here today, gone tomorrow. That's better business for you.​

 

The advantage to renting a private mailbox is that we can accept packages from all carriers.

A Post Office PO Box can only accept US mail.
