What virtual mail service would you recommend for a single retired man, with the intent to move to the Visayas or Thailand? No longer have any living relatives in the US. Plus any other information any of you can share to a 1st timer who's become a financial refugee from California. Thank you all

Tumbleweed 2 asked. . . . What virtual mail service would you recommend for a single retired man, with the intent to move to the Visayas or Thailand? No longer have any living relatives in the US. Plus any other information any of you can share to a 1st timer who's become a financial refugee from California. Thank you all

There are a number of remailers/forwarders in the states. The reason I use one is so that I have an address in the US. I use the address for the banks accounts & Credit Cards, IRS, SS and any important mail that is secure. Also with a US address I never get a proof of life request from SS.


My remailer/forwarder notifies me of incoming mail. I can send the mail to trash, request a scan or have it forward to me using a reliable service bypassing Philpost.

Americas Mailbox in South Dakota has a great rep from the people I've spoken to about this very thing.

Wow $57 to mail an envelope.  Is that normal?  Only thing I have ever mailed/shipped are balikbayan boxes.

If you need something timely (credit cards or important mail), which I did, $57 is cheap and very secure door to door, USA to my Philippine home address. It was my best alternative.


Three day delivery.
