Americas Mailbox, Box Elder SD

Good?, Bad??

Thinking of becoming a SD full timer and using Americas Mailbox.

I should say we are already full timing and have been for awhile.

The hassles of using someone else's mail box or physical address is getting out of hand, plus our full timers and vehicle insurance just went up by $800 a year for a change of address:M

Yeah I'm not a happy camper right now with the insurance company!!

  • Been with Alternative for going on nine years, only reason we would change would be a required domicile change, if we had to get off the road.
  • We went with AMB because it's in Pennington County...there's no wheel tax. This is also our sixth year.....Dennis
  • I've been with Americas Mailbox for 6 yrs and couldn't ask for better service. But all 4 of the professional mail forwarders in SD have excellent reputations.

    We have been using them since July. If you didn't like your current rate increase, you better check out the rate for SD. Our rates really jumped with a move from FL to SD. The cost of registering the vehicle is also substantially higher than FL. The only change that we will come out ahead is if we buy a new coach and pay only 3% tax instead of the FL 6%. I wish I had known that I could have done the same thing in FL that we are doing in SD but that's water under the bridge.
    As to Americas Mailbox, we have no complaints.
  • We've been with America's Mailbox since starting fulltiming. No regrets, no problems, great folks to work with (spelling and punctuation not considered).

  • When I was looking for a mail service, it was between Americas and Alternative. Americas Mail Box, in their brochure, said they paid attention to detail. The brochure had a number of misspelled words and some incorrect grammar and that is why I went with Alternative Resources.

    Both are good, you won't have any problems with either one.
  • Used Americas Mailbox for years.......always got our mail.

    Used Alternative Resources in Sioux Falls for years prior.......always got our mail.

    Personally I think ANY of the mail forwarding services are ALL good....it's what they do and if they didn't do it right they wouldn't still be in business.
    Messing up the mail is something folks don't put up with very long when they have options.

    How's your Medical Coverage??
    Can be some issues if you are 'mandated' for coverage.
