So, here’s the deal – I’ve been using my New York address for all my banking and credit card accounts, it’s my go-to for both residential and mailing needs. But guess what? I’m about to leave the good ol’ US of A and head back overseas, so I gotta get cracking on updating the addresses on all my accounts before I jet off. Now, here’s the kicker – I’m a foreigner here, no family to call on for help with their address. So, I’m on the hunt for a mailing address service that I can use.
I’ve done my homework and found out that using a CMRA virtual mailbox as a residential address is a big no-no. It can cause all sorts of headaches with banks and credit cards. My plan? Keep my primary residential address as is with my current NY one, but switch to a virtual mailbox for the mailing address. Sounds easy, right? But will it actually work? And if it does, which service should I go for?
I’ve got a few names on my list: Traveling Mailbox, Texas Home Base, and South Dakota Residency Center. I’ve had a nightmare experience with Anytime Mailbox in the past, so I’m crossing my fingers that one of these options will offer better service and actually do the job as a mailing address for all my accounts.
So, that’s where I’m at. Time to make a decision and get this address update show on the road before my big move!
