  • The one where talk all about what a virtual mailbox is and how I get my mail while traveling. Bit nerdy, but when you're living an unconventional life, you have to nerd out on unconventional tools, which means I need a traveling mailbox. Virtual mailboxes aren't just for full-time travelers though, they have a lot of tools that can help you streamline life a bit, and a lot of businesses use them at a kind of mailbox virtual assistant. Check it!

    FYI, if you do have a permanent address, the USPS also offers free mail scanning. The outside of incoming mail is emailed to you everyday.

    Hi great video! Quick question, I'm in the US and thinking of going to Singapore for a year or two. Is Traveling Mailbox still the best option or is there a better international option?

    Can they send it to international home addressees abroad? Such as a debit or credit card?
    Kind of challenging to go back to the country in person order to receive those and going back. The cost and time consuming.

    just told that i need a notarized form sent to Travelling mailbox to forward my mail. I can't print anything out and i'm in another country.
    Also found out that when you use Travelling mailbox, you'll never be able to forward your mail from there--since its a business address, the USPS won't forward any of your mail to a future address.

    Ok, great info, but do they give you a physical address you can use for things like insurance & dmv? They won't accept my po box?

    • @TheNomadExperiment
      @TheNomadExperiment  4 роки тому +1

      Unfortunately most of those require some sort of real address. As do most banks. check out the link to the article and I dig into that a little bit more.

    I'm trying to be a Nomad and I got a mailbox at a UPS Store and banks and PayPal won't let me open an account because they say I don't have a residential address. Is a virtual mailbox considered a residential address?

    Okay but what happens if you're living on the road and you don't have an address for them to send you your mail

    • @TheNomadExperiment
      @TheNomadExperiment  5 років тому +1

      I typically find a UPS or FEDEX office to send it to. I just call them to make sure they receive it, but then they usually charge a couple bucks for the service at the store. Personally, I am able to "Find" an address of a friend, hostel, hotel or something every month or so if I really need something. But because I can have TM scan things and just download scans, there are very few things I typically need to have sent. But of course everyone's situation is different!

  • @BlockBoyz135th
    @BlockBoyz135th 4 роки тому

    What happens if its a debit card mailed to you, and you cant afford to wait till its forwarded to your physical address. Will the scan the front & back of the card for you?

    • @TheNomadExperiment
      @TheNomadExperiment  4 роки тому

      Not sure. But in those instances I just have them mail me the new card/letters wherever I am at so I can do it myself. Usually costs only $3-4 if I'm domestic. Essentially every month or so I need a handful of items they've received sent to my physically, so they bundle and send.
