Private, Secure & Compliant Mail Handling
LionShare’s Virtual Mailbox Plan provides you with a professional mailing address without the need for a physical office. Your mail is received at our secure, staff-managed facility, keeping your home address private and your deliveries safe. We are a USPS-certified Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA), so all procedures are by-the-book and compliant – every piece of mail is handled under strict privacy and postal regulations. This plan is ideal for individuals, remote workers, travelers, or small businesses that only need mail reception and value confidentiality and convenience.
Included Features
Official USPS PMB Address
Get a compliant USPS-recognized Private Mailbox address at our Jacksonville location (presented as “PMB” for compliance). You’ll have a real commercial mailing address – without us listing the actual street address here for security. Use it to receive personal or business mail (just not for government/licensing purposes).
All-Carriers Package Acceptance
Never miss a delivery. We accept mail and packages from USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, Amazon – you name it. Our on-site concierge will sign for and log each item and can even accept items from private couriers or client drop-offs. Your deliveries are safely stored until you pick them up or request forwarding, keeping them secure from weather or theft.
Notary Public Services
Need documents notarized? As a member, you have access to our on-site notary. Notary service is available at $10 per document (stamp). This convenient service means you can handle official paperwork in the same place as your mail.
Optional Lockable Mailbox
For added convenience, you can rent a personal lockable mailbox on-site for $25/month. This gives you a private, secure box to which we’ll deposit your mail – and it offers flexibility to access your mail on your own schedule (within facility hours). It’s a great add-on if you prefer a self-service pickup option. These will be available starting January 2026.
Instant Mail Notifications
Stay on top of your inbox. We provide text and email alerts for all incoming mail and packages, so you’ll know immediately when something arrives. No more guessing or unnecessary trips – you’re always in the loop.
Optional Auto Mail Forwarding
Can’t drop by to pick up mail? No problem. Automatic mail forwarding can be set up on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule. We’ll bundle your mail and send it to your designated address at the interval you choose. Postage costs are simply billed to you at cost (based on weight/service) – you can even provide a prepaid shipping label to control the cost. After each forward, you’ll receive an email notification or tracking information so you can be on the lookout for your items. This hands-free service ensures you get your mail wherever you are, with full transparency.
Printing at Member Rates
Enjoy member-discounted rates on printing and copying services. Whether you need to print a form from an email or make copies of a document, we offer affordable per-page rates for Virtual Mailbox plan members.
Additional Business or Recipient
Have more than one business or name that needs to receive mail? You can add an extra business/entity to your Virtual Mailbox Plan for $10/month or $50/year (per additional business name). Each added business will require its own USPS Form 1583 (see Recipient Rules below), but once set up, we’ll handle mail for that entity under your plan as well.
Our Virtual Mailbox Plans
Recipient Rules:
To keep our mail service compliant and efficient, we have a few rules on who can receive mail under your plan:
Authorized Individuals: Each Virtual Mailbox plan includes one primary person (the account holder) and one secondary person as authorized mail recipients. These are the only individuals whose mail we can accept by name under your plan (they will be listed on your USPS Form 1583). If you have a spouse, partner, or assistant who will also receive mail, list them as the secondary recipient.
Business Entities: Your plan includes one business entity (e.g. one company name or DBA). That business name will be tied to your PMB address and is authorized to receive mail here. If you receive mail for a business, make sure that business name is the one on file.
Adding More Businesses: If you need to receive mail for additional businesses or organizations, you must purchase an add-on for each extra name (as noted in the features above) and submit a separate USPS Form 1583 for each. This is a postal regulation: each distinct addressee requires its own notarized Form 1583 authorization. We’ll help you with the process, but beware each extra business or person is an additional paid add-on and has its own paperwork.
No Unauthorized Recipients: For security and compliance, we cannot accept mail addressed to any individual or business not officially on your plan. Mail sent to an unauthorized name will be refused, returned to sender, or destroyed as required by USPS CMRA rules. In other words, if someone isn’t listed on your account, we legally must treat their mail as unauthorized. Please ensure all names that should get mail are properly added with the right documentation – it keeps everything running smoothly and within federal guidelines.
Need help with forms or adding recipients? Don’t worry – our team will guide you through the USPS requirements to make sure everyone who needs access is properly documented.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a separate Form 1583 for each business?
Each business (or individual) receiving mail at a CMRA address must be independently verified and authorized. The USPS requires a notarized Form 1583 for each distinct addressee using the mailbox. This means if you have two companies and yourself all using the mailbox, each one needs its own form. It ensures that we have proper ID on file for every entity and prevents unauthorized people from using the address. In short, it’s about compliance and security – we follow USPS regulations to the letter, so every business or person has their paperwork in order before we handle their mail.
What happens if mail is sent to a name that isn’t on my plan?
If we receive mail or packages addressed to a name that isn’t listed as either an individual or business on your account (and thus not on a Form 1583), we cannot release those items to you. By postal regulations, we must mark them refused or return them to sender if possible. Allowing unregistered names would violate USPS rules and compromise security. So, to protect you and comply with the law, any mail for an unauthorized name will be rejected or disposed of rather than accepted. Always ensure you’ve added all possible recipients to your plan – if in doubt, contact us to update your authorized names.
Can I use my Virtual Business address on Google My Business (GMB)?
Here are Googles rules for using a Virtual Office membership for GMB purposes; Listings on Google My Business can only be created for businesses that either have a physical location that customers can visit, or that travel to visit customers where they are. Service-area businesses can’t list a ‘virtual’ office unless that office is staffed during opening hours. We allow all of our Premium Virtual Office clients to add conference room access to their accounts on a as needed basis, at an additional cost to meet with clients. Also our office is staffed by a professional concierge service and can handle clients that do not have an appointment. We also provide digital signage in our lobby to all of our Premium Virtual Office clients.
Can I receive packages at this address (including from private couriers or client drop-offs)?
Yes! Your Virtual Mailbox address can receive packages and deliveries from all major carriers – including USPS mail, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon packages, etc. We log and sign for each delivery that comes in, so nothing gets lost. We’ll even accept items delivered in person: whether it’s a private courier service or a client stopping by to drop something off for you, our concierge staff will handle it (We just ask that you don’t have anything perishable or requiring special handling sent without checking with us.) Once a package arrives, we notify you right away via text/email. You can then decide whether to pick it up at our office or have us forward it to you. This way, you’ll never miss an important shipment – no more worrying about porch thieves or missed delivery slips!
Can I use this address for banking, licensing, or registering my business?
No – the Virtual Mailbox Plan is not designed to serve as a “registered office” or official business presence for things like opening bank accounts, obtaining a business license, or verifying a Google Business Profile. Most banks and government agencies will not accept a PMB (Private Mailbox) address for these purposes. They typically require a verifiable physical office with proof of occupancy and staff, which this mail-only service does not provide. In fact, virtual mailbox addresses are frequently rejected or flagged when used in place of a real office for registrations. If you need an address for formal business registration, regulatory compliance, or Google/business verification, you’d want to look at more comprehensive solutions (like our Business Verified plan) that provide a true registered office with the documentation to satisfy those requirements. The Virtual Mailbox Plan should be used only for mail handling – it’s perfect for privacy and convenience, but not for official filings.
How many mail items can I receive a month with a Virtual Office plan?
Auto mail forwarding is an optional service that makes sure you get your mail no matter where you are. Here’s how it works: You choose a schedule – weekly, biweekly, or monthly – and we’ll automatically gather your accumulated mail and ship it to an address you specify. We can send it via USPS by default (First Class, Priority, etc.) or even use another carrier if you prefer. Postage is billed at cost based on the weight and service level. (You can also give us a prepaid shipping label if you have one – for example, if you have a special carrier account – to completely control the cost.) We’ll package your mail securely and send it out on the scheduled day. As soon as it’s shipped, we’ll notify you and charge the card on file for the postage. You’ll get tracking information if you requested that service level. It’s a hands-off, set-and-forget solution – your important letters and documents reach you wherever you are, without you needing to request each forward manually. Of course, if you prefer to pick up mail in person or only forward on demand, you can do that too – auto-forwarding is just there for your convenience if you want consistent service.
