A Mailbox Rental is a P.O. Box
One common misconception about mail services is that all mailbox rentals are P.O. boxes. While you can set up similar services through the post office with a P.O. box address, our mailbox rentals at Mail Call are all physical addresses. This means that you can set up a physical, non-P.O. box address to receive your mail at. Our mail services in Santa Fe also allow you to send mail from a physical address that is associated with your mailbox rental. That way there is no confusion, adapting, or creative problem solving like their might be with a traditional P.O. box. You can set up mailbox services at Mail Call in Santa Fe for both personal and business addresses.
You Can’t Access Your Mailbox Rental Whenever
Another misconception we hear from time to time at Mail Call in Santa Fe has to do with availability. Some people are worried that if they use mailbox rentals rather than a traditional mailbox that they won’t have the same unlimited access to their mail whenever they need it. With packages, you will have come in during normal store hours in order to pick up a package. But, with parcels and other mail, you have 24-hour secure access to your mailbox. You will be provided a personal entry code in order to access your mail. There is also 24-hour surveillance, so you can rest assured your mail is going to be safe and secure — even more so than with other mail services.
A Mailbox Rental Isn’t As Good As a Traditional Mailbox
For some odd reason, many people have the misconception that mailbox rentals are not nearly as good as having a traditional mailbox. Perhaps they’ve worked with other, less impressive mail services in the past or have just heard rumors and myths about mailbox rentals. But at Mail Call in Santa Fe, we believe that mailbox rental service can actually be better than traditional mailboxes in many circumstances. For example, when you use our mail services at Mail Call, you’ll get complimentary:
- A physical, non-P.O. box address
- 24-hour access to your parcels and mail
- Round-the-clock video surveillance and security
- Mail forwarding
- Refrigerator and freezer storage for packages when necessary
- Text message and email notifications when you’ve received a package
- And more!
