Apartment living offers many benefits and is very convenient
for those with busy lives. In addition, online shopping has increased
significantly over the years, which means carrier services such as USPS, FedEx,
and UPS are delivering more packages more often. Just like apartment living, online shopping
offers convenience and speed.
Unfortunately, most apartment management buildings are finding it hard
to keep up with the rapid influx of packages and according to a 2015 report from NBC’s Nightly News, 23 million Americans had packages stolen from their home
in 2015 (Fryer & Medina, 2015). While
the design of most apartments make it difficult for carriers to leave packages
at the doors of residents, there are instances where packages are left at the door
and this can be dangerous with package theft on the rise. Digital mailbox service offered through Mail
Center One is an easy solution to an increasing problem.

You can have the peace of mind in knowing that your packages
are safe when you open a digital mailbox with Mail Center One. Through our app you will be able to see what
packages have arrived, where they were delivered from, the weight and dimensions
of the package, and when the package arrived. You can do this 24 hours a day, 7 day a week
without ever stepping foot into our store. In addition, you can submit requests from the
app to have your packages forwarded to another address. Also, you can schedule a date and time to
come into our store to pick up your package. By scheduling a pickup through the app, your
package will be ready for you the moment you walk in. No need to worry about our staff searching in
the back to find your package. In
addition, having a virtual mailbox eliminates the guessing game of wondering if
the apartment management has your package or if it accidentally got rejected or
handed to someone else.
Not only can we manage your packages but we can manage your
mail too! If a mail item comes in that
you need to read, submit a request for us to open the mail and scan the
documents to you. Once you’ve read your
documents you can provide further instruction through the app. You can choose to have the mail item discarded,
shredded, put back into your mailbox or shipped to you. It’s just that easy!
If most of your Christmas shopping is done online and you
are waiting for several packages to arrive, you can have those items consolidated
and shipped. For example, suppose you
purchased several gifts from several online stores for your nieces and nephews
and you want all of those gifts to arrive to your sister’s house on December 22nd. You can take comfort in knowing that your
packages are secure and when they have all arrived, you can submit a request to
consolidate and ship. We will gather all
the packages, consolidate them into one box and ship them to the address
provided by you, with the shipping option selected by you. The credit card you have on file will be
charged and you will receive a tracking number so you will know exactly when
your sister received the package.
All of this can be done from a single app on your phone
without ever leaving your apartment or waiting for the apartment office
building to sift through the hundreds of packages stored in an already crowded
space. Your packages will be neatly
stored and organized in our mailroom while you manage them from your
phone. You can do all this for as low as
$9.99/mo. Watch the video below and sign
up today for peace of mind and convenience at www.ipostal1.com/mailcenterone
or call us today and speak with our friendly staff at 734-325-7176.
