Camgirl seeks mail forwarding service to protect her location.
July 13, 2013 7:42 AM   Subscribe

I'm a camgirl ("adult model") and I have clients who enjoy sending me things (lingerie, toys, the like). For obvious reasons I don't want my location to be revealed, so just getting a PO Box in my city really isn't enough for me. I would imagine that there are middleman services that allow people to send mail to a "fake" address which would then forward on to their real address. I found Aloha Forwarding but they only seem to ship outside the contiguous US... any other ideas? Thank you so much! (Anon for the same above-mentioned obvious reasons.)

According to their website, Mailboxes Etc. will let you rent a box from them, then forward any mail that comes in to your actual address, for a fee. Presumably, you could rent a box in a city other than the one you live in.

People who fly frequently for their jobs use these services a lot, so there was a long thread about them on the flyerstalk forum. Note: I was subscribed to the thread and some of the "reviews" that came later felt slightly fake/spammy, so I'd check for independent reviews before I signed up. I can confirm that earthclassmail actually exists (I've driven by it) and I believe the Las Vegas one (maillinkplus) has been around awhile, but I haven't used it personally.

I have used the UPS to forward mail to another address. You can choose how frequently you wish for them to send your mail and they charge your credit credit card the cost of postage to do so.

You can also get a PO Box in a different city in case you live in a small town or something. My neighbor (a teacher whose students must've really hated her) used to do this so that no one knew where she lived.

Wanderers' Mail Service will do this, I believe. I haven't used it myself but a friend used to while he was traveling.

This kind of thing comes up a lot on RV forums. Well, not EXACTLY this scenario, but people who don't have a permanent address, need a street address and need to receive packages. I haven't used one yet, but I've heard good things about this company. This one is also well established.

I used Virtual Post Mail and was very happy with it.

I used Earth Class Mail when I traveled a lot a few years and was very happy with their service. They scan the outside of every piece of mail as it comes in and then you log in and select what you want done with each piece: forward to you, open and scan, archive, shred, etc.

Amazon lets you buy things for other people off their wish list(s) without disclosing their shipping address to you.

I used EarthClassMail while I spent a lot of time overseas.

I was also going to suggest Amazon Locker.

This is also geared towards RVers, but provides a decent rundown of various services.
