Secure PO Box Rental Services & Agreements

A private mailbox is often used as a PO Box alternative, but it offers added flexibility. At ShipMate+, mailbox renters receive a real street address instead of a traditional P.O. Box number, which is useful for home-based businesses, package deliveries, and privacy protection. Mail and packages can be received from USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and other couriers.

A mailbox rental agreement typically outlines the mailbox holder’s identity verification, rental term, mailing address format, access rules, package receiving, forwarding options, notification preferences, and renewal responsibilities. ShipMate+ helps renters review these details in store so they understand how mail pickup, package acceptance, 24-hour lobby access, and communication preferences work before the mailbox is activated.

Mailbox renters should bring valid identification when setting up service, because private mailbox rentals require identity verification and completion of rental paperwork. For many U.S. mailbox services, two forms of ID may be required. Visiting ShipMate+ in person allows the team to verify documents, explain the agreement, and help format your new mailing address correctly.

ShipMate+ offers on-demand or recurring mail forwarding options for mailbox renters. This is useful for travelers, remote workers, seasonal residents, and businesses that need mail sent to another location. Forwarding preferences can be discussed during setup, including how often mail should be forwarded and where it should be sent.

Mailbox renters can use email and text notifications to stay updated when mail or packages arrive. ShipMate+ also offers a free Mail Check service by phone, so customers can confirm whether they need to make a trip. These options help renters manage mail efficiently and avoid unnecessary visits when nothing has arrived.
