Your opinion wanted, no seriously ... mail?
We are 6 weeks from pulling up our stakes here in this house. We are currently purging through our stuff, selling copious amounts of big items on Craigslist and I"m working out my shoe collection. No,...

There are a lot of good mail services available, and the best one will depend entirely on your needs. If you need to domicile in a particular location, then you want a service with an address where you want to put down "roots". We needed to domicile in Florida, because that is where we could get health insurance that would give us some coverage as we travel around the country. We are not yet eligible for Medicare, so we are dependent on the insurance marketplace. Health insurance costs are dependent on zip codes, so we searched for the best insurance rates among the zip codes that were offered by mail services in Florida. For us, the MyRVMail service was the best choice.
However, if we were not burdened with choosing a service based on the cost of health care insurance, we would have gone with Traveling Mailbox for our mail service. Their cost and service are far superior to any of the others. When we were "mostly timing", and still had our house address as our home base, we were gone more than at home. We used Traveling Mailbox for our snail mail handling, and there were very few times where we had to forward hard copies of mail to wherever we happened to be. For most items, their scanning service was good enough that we could download the mail contents and print it off, if we needed a hard copy. And the cost for the scanning was included in the base rate of the service (with limitations), rather than having to pay for each scan as we now do.
