mail forwarding service

I am considering using the Good Sam mail forwarding service. I would like to know if anyone has used this service and what you thought of it? Thanks for the help.
  • There seems to be many posts by people having trouble with Good Sam getting very simple things associated with their membership correct, and I read many horror stories with Camping World as well. I would not let Good Sam touch my mail.
  • I pay escapees $105/year which includes sorting 3rd class so I don't pay freight to have it shipped to me. They will send anytime with one day notice and using usps, priority, ups or FedEx, whatever I want to pay for. I can set up a regular mailing to one address such as every Monday to xx street etc until further notice.

    They are expanding their service offerings and adding a FL address soon. Check out their website Escapees.Com
  • Can't tell you about Good Sam but I can tell you we've been pleased using a local UPS store for this service. We pay $15 per month for a mailbox at their store and have asked USPS to forward mail to that mailbox. UPS store just packs up whatever we want sent to us and ships to us whenever we call them. They are holding junk stuff for us to pick up when we get home.

    This seems to work for our intermittent travel(3 months or so at a time) but not sure it is the best option for full timers.
