Thanks, ^redacted! Good catch on iPostal1's shortcomings in your case. I too might go the USPS PO Box route after all. I've heard of folks having similar success with UPS Store boxes (which can alert you electronically btw)! Congrats on getting your transaction over the finish line recently!

I've been using Anytime mailbox for little over a year. Just be aware there's some fees I wasn't aware of when I signed up. Every piece of mail that comes in, while is "free" to receive, there's a disposition fee for each piece. One cost per piece to trash, a different cost per piece to recycle, a different cost to shred, etc. And if don't do anything after 30 days, there's "storage fee" to keep it. Certain number of scans and email per month are free then they charge after that, I think that depends on what plan you get. They market a check deposit feature, but the local company where my mailbox is didn't know how to utilize that, so that didn't work. Hard to beat their price however, and their interface is pretty intuitive. In my case, I don't get a lot of mail, so the added fees are negligible. Again, just be aware of these fees.
