I am looking into using a virtual mailbox service. Does anyone with experience using a virtual mailbox service have a recommendation? I would also like to know the benefits/pitfalls with using such services. Thanks

Have been using PhysicalAddress's Orlando service for the past year. Decent service and cheap (~$10-15/mo, $0.56 to forward a check to my bank). In the past few months, however, I've had a lot of delays (4-6 weeks) and have had a few checks never show up. They claim it's all a USPS issue, which certainly could be, but I'm personally skeptical.
I'm in the process of exploring/testing other services as a potential replacement.

I use TravelingMailbox and it's ok. The only reason I use them is so I could keep an address as the same city as my sellers to keep appearance changes to customers at a minimum. It's very convenient, but the major downfall is mail takes way longer to get there. They ship everything first to a sorting center and from there farm it out. On average, it takes 2 weeks for a letter mailed to show up in my dashboard.
