Do I Need a Mail Forwarding Service?


Mail forwarding is a simple way to save money and get a US address, but it is not for everyone. Use this quick checklist to see if it makes sense for you.

You probably need one if…

  • You want products from US stores that don’t ship to your country.
  • International shipping charged directly by US retailers costs you too much.
  • You need a US address for bank statements, tax papers, subscriptions or government mail while living abroad.
  • You travel often and don’t want to come home to a pile of mail.
  • Your company is based abroad and wants a US presence.

You may not need one if…

You only buy from stores that already ship to your country at a fair price, and you never need a US address. In that case, a forwarding service adds little.
