Receive your mail wherever you are

How?
It's simple: using Mail Drops.
They are also known as letter boxes, mail box rentals, accommodation addresses, remailing services, and mail forwarding services.
Mail drops are nothing else than businesses which allow clients to use their addresses for a small fee.
They receive mail and re-mail it regarding to instructions.
The reasons for using alternative addresses can be various and not all related to secrecy. Some have to do with convenience or practicality.
Now a days the need for more privacy is becoming extremely apparent.
W find ourselves becoming more and more vulnerable to government snooping.
New technology in the hands of the bureaucrats provides sophisticated methods of penetrating our affairs. Our mail is a good example.
But not only.
The government is claiming in court that it doesn't need a search warrant, and doesn't need to notify you, before it can tap your e-mail if it is stored on a third party's server (e.g. Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, or even an intermediate machine which is forwarding e- mail on to its final destination). Apparently, the government is interpreting a very dated law called the Stored Communications Act of 1986 -- written before most people had e-mail -- to allow this.
It seems that this is another example of a "public/private loophole" -- a term I've coined to describe situations in which government attempts to circumvent constitutional restrictions by enlisting private companies to do what government is constitutionally proscribed from doing.
Postal authorities use a little known surveillance technique known as the "mail cover", which operates informally and allows them to investigate your mail without having to first obtain a court order, a requirement in most countries.
'The mail cover' is simply an instruction to the mail carrier requesting that they note the return addresses on mail delivered to any address under investigation.

This is far worse than a court order to open mail, as it's totally indiscriminate. It means that whoever sends a letter or package to the marked address can end up on the suspect list.

Besides the need of privacy, which other categories of people would need a mail drop?
All categories of people who frequently travel or spend long periods away from their home.
Lately, mail lost or stolen in the delivery process or from domestic mailboxes has become a problem. A mail drop could be able cut the risk.
There are also people that for various reasons could desire to keep their address secret.
Or there could be people that simply prefer not to deal with the post office.
A small new business just starting from a residential premises can benefit from having a prestigious address. Arranging a mail drop address in a high profile international area can provide the answer.

For all these people, or millions of others with different reasons, arranging a mail drop is simple, fast and no identification is needed.
Maildropguide.com offers a remailing service at a very convenient price.
No ID is needed to use their services. Mail drops have an actual street address unlike P.O. Box numbers and this always makes a better impression.
This gives the impression that you are writing from that location. Post offices rarely offer remailing services.

Mail drops will accept courier service packages on your behalf. Post offices won't. Mail drops will forward your mail to whichever address you have requested them. Mail drops are completely independent from the government and this ensures absolute privacy.
If you are a business owner operating a maildrop they offer very inexpensive opportunity for lifetime listings (Only $40).
Well, the reasons to use a maildrop services are many and alluring. Why not trying?
