Title: Virtual mail services in NYC
Post by: ickhos on September 20, 2017, 08:48:46 AM
I own a small business that is based in New York. I have been using my apartment as my business address, receiving mail and meeting the occasional client. I am planning on travelling (mostly domestic, but some international) substantially over the next couple years, while continuing to run my company. I am giving up my apartment. I am looking for a virtual office in NY.

My ideal service would cost between $50-$200 a month and do the following...

Most imporant:
1) Provide a New York City (pref. Manhattan) mailing address and receive USPS, Fedex, UPS and then:
-Scan envelopes
-Allow me to view envelopes on line and decide which to open.
-Open and scan those envelopes, so I can view their contents on line.
-Forward the contents of specific envelopes to another address, perhaps international
-If a check has arrived, deposit checks in a nearby bank, either in person or by remote deposit (I have to talk to my bank about remote deposit, maybe a scan would be fine?). Mailing checks is not preferred.
2) Be stable. I don't want to change addresses again in the next few years.

Would like:
Have a meeting space for hourly rent when I am in NY, so I can meet clients

I do not care about:
phones, voicemail, faxes, emails, or personal receptionists

I have looked on line a bit and haven't found much of what I'm looking for. Earth Class Mail looks really really close, but are they reputable?

Could you pay a local business to do this for you? Maybe another mustachian is willing to do this secretarial type task. It'd be easy enough with a scanner and online banking app
