We used "Traveling Mailbox"......they have different addresses across the US that you can use and the highest cost is $55. a month. We did the $15.00. They have a great website for looking at the mail and YOU determining if you want it forwarded, returned, shredded, etc.

Thanks, but no thanks. That doesn't work for me. All these mail services offer much more than I need at a much higher price than I'm willing to pay.

I simply want someone to shred my mail (80-100 pieces per year). No sorting, scanning, filing, etc required. Just receive the mail and immediately shred it. I will not pay $180 per year for that service.

So you want someone to deal with your mail but don't want to pay too much for it? What, in your mind , is a reasonable fee? I use a mailbox store in CA; $150 per year plus postage I also send the owner $20 gift cards quarterly. She will do whatever I ask with the mail. If I want it forwarded she charges the postage plus a small fee.

I, for one, will be willing to pay $15.00 a month to see what mail I receive.....yes, those that say "resident" or "occupant" can go into the dump/recycler. And when you have the mail forwarded to Traveling Mailbox, that mail is tossed. But there ARE other mailings (like the IRS notifying you that you've got some money coming or (gasp) you didn't pay enough) that you NEED to see. To willy-nilly have someone just toss your mail, well, in my opinion, that's scary. I will and did pay the $15.00 a month.
