Private and Virtual Mailboxes in Pennsburg
A Better Place for Your Mail
Keep your home address private, give your business a professional mailing address, or manage your mail while traveling. UPV Shipping offers both traditional in-store mailbox rentals and virtual mailbox service through iPostal1.
More Than a Place to Receive Letters
Keep Your Mail Separate, Secure and Convenient
A private mailing address can make it easier to manage business correspondence, household mail, packages and travel.
Some customers want a dependable place where mail can be held until they visit the store. Others need to review and manage mail while they are away.
That is why UPV Shipping provides two different mailbox options. You can rent a traditional mailbox directly through our store or establish a virtual mailbox through iPostal1.
Common Reasons to Rent
Keep a home address private
Create a separate address for business mail
Receive mail while traveling or relocating
Reduce the risk of mail sitting unattended
Receive packages from multiple carriers
Traditional Mailbox Rentals
A Private Mailbox at Your Local Shipping Store
A physical mailbox provides a dependable local address without sending your personal or business mail to your home.
Mail is delivered to UPV Shipping, sorted by our team and placed in your assigned mailbox or secured for pickup according to the terms of your rental.
This option works especially well for people who live or work in the Upper Perkiomen Valley and expect to visit the store regularly.

Mailbox Rental Questions
Before You Open Your Mailbox
What is the difference between the two mailbox services?
A physical mailbox is managed directly through UPV Shipping and is primarily intended for in-person pickup. An iPostal1 virtual mailbox includes online access and remote mail-management requests.
Can I use the mailbox for a business?
Mailbox services may be used for many business-mailing purposes. Confirm that the selected service and address satisfy the requirements of the organization, license, bank or government agency receiving the address.
Can my mailbox receive packages?
Package receiving may be available, subject to the selected plan, package size, storage limits, carrier restrictions and applicable handling or storage charges.
Can multiple people receive mail at the same address?
Additional recipients may need to be listed and separately verified. Review the rules for the selected physical or virtual mailbox plan before directing mail for another person.
How do I sign up for a physical mailbox?
Contact or visit UPV Shipping to confirm availability. Applicants must complete the required forms and provide acceptable identification before the mailbox can receive mail.
How do I sign up for a virtual mailbox?
Use the UPV Shipping iPostal1 signup link on this page. Plan selection, payment, identity verification and digital mailbox management are completed through iPostal1.
Can UPV Shipping open and scan mail from a physical mailbox?
Traditional physical mailbox service does not automatically include digital mail management. Customers who need remote scanning and online instructions should consider an iPostal1 virtual mailbox.
Can I use a virtual mailbox while traveling?
Yes. A major benefit of the virtual service is the ability to view and manage available mail actions through the iPostal1 app or website while away from Pennsburg.
