International mail forwarding

Mail forwarding from Miami to your country

We pick up your mail at our Brickell CMRA, consolidate it into one parcel, and ship it home. Pass-through postage. No surprise upcharges.

If you live outside the US and run a Florida LLC, you still receive paper mail at your Miami address: IRS notices, bank statements, state correspondence, contracts to sign in wet ink. We hold it at our Brickell CMRA, consolidate it on a cadence you choose, and ship it to your home country through USPS or a courier you pick. Your authorization to receive and forward that mail is the same Form 1583 that USPS requires for every Private Mailbox holder USPS Form 1583 — Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent. Below is the entire mechanic — how often we ship, how we package, what customs paperwork attaches, what it costs, and what we will not put in a box.

How forwarding works from a Miami CMRA

USPS treats every commercial mail receiving agency, ours included, as the legal recipient of your mail under the rules in the Domestic Mail Manual section 508 USPS Domestic Mail Manual §508 — Recipient Services. That means we open the building's mailbox, receive your envelopes and packages, log them against your PMB number, and store them in a locked area until you tell us where to send them. Your address on file at USPS uses the PMB format required by the Postal Service — street line first, then PMB number on its own line — and that exact format must appear on every piece you ship out, otherwise USPS can refuse the consolidated parcel at induction USPS DMM §508.1.5.2 — Private Mailbox Address Format. We bake that into the shipping label automatically. You never type the PMB line yourself.

Pickup cadence and package consolidation

You pick the rhythm. Weekly forwarding ships every Friday. Monthly forwarding ships on the first business day of the month. On-demand forwarding ships when you press the button in your dashboard. Whichever cadence you choose, we consolidate: instead of mailing each envelope on its own, we bundle everything sitting in your box into a single parcel and ship it once. Consolidation is where international forwarding stops being painful. One shipment per cycle means one tracking number, one customs declaration, one postage charge — not eight. If a piece is time-sensitive (an IRS notice, a court summons, a card you need this week), flag it in the dashboard and we ship it solo by courier the same business day.

Customs forms, declarations, and tracking

Every parcel that leaves the US for a foreign address needs a customs declaration. For letter mail and documents under the weight threshold USPS lists for First-Class Package International Service, we attach a CN22 customs slip directly to the parcel; for heavier consolidations we file a PS Form 2976-A and the contents are itemized line by line USPS Publication 28 — Postal Addressing Standards (PMB format). We declare each item by its real description — "bank statements", "signed LLC operating agreement", "replacement debit card" — because misdeclared contents are the single most common reason a forwarded parcel gets opened, delayed, or returned by the destination country's customs authority. Every shipment includes end-to-end tracking. You see the scan history in your dashboard, and we hold the proof of induction for at least one year in case you need to file a claim.

What it costs: pass-through postage plus a flat handling fee

Forwarding is priced in two parts and we show both before you ship. Part one is the postage itself — whatever USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL charges for the parcel at its measured weight and destination. We pass that cost through at the carrier's rate without a markup. Part two is a flat handling fee per consolidated shipment that covers receiving, sorting, packaging, customs paperwork, and induction at the post office or courier dropoff. The forwarding service starts at {priceFromUsd} USD per month for the plan; consolidated shipment fees are billed per shipment, itemized on a single invoice, and never bundled into a vague "international rate". If you want a postage estimate before we ship, the dashboard quotes the carrier's rate at the moment you preview the parcel.

What we will not ship

USPS publishes a list of items prohibited or restricted in international mail, and we follow it without exception USPS Publication 28 — Postal Addressing Standards (PMB format). We will not ship hazardous materials, including lithium batteries loose in an envelope, aerosols, perfumes, or anything flammable, corrosive, or pressurized. We will not ship cash, precious metals, firearms, ammunition, or controlled substances of any class. We will not ship counterfeit goods, items that violate US export controls or the destination country's import law, or anything we cannot legally describe on a customs declaration. If a sender drops off something we cannot forward, we hold it, notify you, and wait for your instructions — return to sender, secure destruction with a certificate, or pickup by a courier you arrange. We document every refused item in your dashboard so the record exists if you ever need it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Form 1583 for forwarding even if I already have a virtual mailbox?
Yes. Form 1583 is what authorizes us to receive and act on your mail at all — receive, scan, hold, or forward. If your 1583 is already on file because you have a virtual mailbox or virtual office plan with us, no second form is needed; forwarding is a use of the same authorization USPS Form 1583 — Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent.
Can you ship to a residential address abroad, or does it have to be a business?
Residential is fine. We ship to whatever address you put on file: your home, a relative's home, an office, a coworking space. You can keep several destinations saved and pick the right one per shipment.
What happens if a parcel is held by customs in my country?
We send you the tracking event the moment we see it, plus the original customs declaration we filed, so you can show your local customs broker exactly what's in the parcel. Duties and import taxes assessed by your country are paid by you, directly to that authority — we cannot prepay them.
How long do you hold mail before you ship?
On weekly and monthly plans we hold for up to the next cycle by default. If you want longer storage (vacation, slow month) you can pause forwarding from the dashboard, and we hold mail up to 60 days at no extra cost. After 60 days we email you for instructions before charging storage.
Can you forward to multiple countries on different schedules?
Yes. You can save several destinations and assign different cadences to each — for example, monthly consolidation to your home country plus on-demand shipments to a US relative for items you need scanned and physically held. Each destination is a separate shipment with its own tracking.
