Mail Forwarding Service Offers Benefits Beyond Scanning And Screening
You may have considered using a Mail Forwarding Service if you travel a lot or take long vacations
. But have you ever considered how beneficial it would be as a regular business tool?
The opportunity to have your mail scanned and put online for you to check into is only one aspect of convenience that is offered through forwarding companies. But there are many more time-saving features that you can take advantage of. Here are just a few that you may not have thought of before.
If you work for a larger corporation and occasionally need to have your mail delivered to the office because it requires a signature, that piece of mail will probably be signed for by the receptionist in the office. Then it will sit on her desk until you pick it up in the lobby (or wherever). Whoever stops by that desk on the way into the company could have the opportunity to see what you're getting delivered. That's not good.
But there's also another opportunity for you that lets you treat your postal mail almost like email. If there is more than one person on your account at the Mail Forwarding Service, you can automatically send that piece of mail to them online - with a click of a mouse button. Now, that person does have to share your same account, but they will have their own log-in so they won't be able to see what other mail you're getting.
These are the two other benefits that had not occurred to me until now. I was mainly focused on how advantageous it was to get mail online and be able to view it from my computer (not to mention NOT having to go through junk mail all the time). But this is more like a total mail management system. It's sophisticated and private, and in my opinion, goes way beyond what you would get if you just used the US Post office to forward your mail.
So for me at least, the benefits outweigh the fact that I sometimes miss having to go to the mailbox to get my mail. If you're on the computer most of the day anyway, all it takes is a few minutes to look at what mail you have received and decide what to do with it. Everything can be managed from your own personal computer - inside your private virtual mailbox. It really can't get any better than that - can it?
