Mail Forwarding from the US

Any advice on mail forwarding services from the US?

We will be here, but will need to retain a mailing address in the US (we think) for things like the VA, IRS, SS, FL Drivvers License, etc. At least for a while.


Any suggestions for a service. Preferably, something I can see a PDF of the mail and only have hard copies forwarded of items I select.


I looked into Escapees, and after calling their customer service to find out the fee for forwarding to Europe, it is $50 per item plus handling - ahem. So, $50 per letter? Seriously? The post office charges $1.40 for a 1 ounce letter.


Surely we are not the first to need mail forwarding from "back home".


TIA,


Frank
