How mail forwarding works
Business mail forwarding is a breeze with a Stable virtual mailbox.
Take a tour
Mail is received at a virtual address
Physical mail arrives at your Stable virtual address, which is a real physical address where you can receive packages and business mail.
Stable scans and digitizes mail
After receiving your mail, Stable scans it and uploads a high-resolution copy to your Stable Dashboard. Most mail can be handled entirely from the dashboard. Mail forwarding is there for the items you actually need in hand.
Mail is forwarded to a designated address
For the mail you need physically, forward it to a designated address via your Stable Dashboard. Or use Stable automations to configure your mail to be forwarded at specific intervals or when it’s reached its storage deadline (30 days).
Mail forwarding that’s designed for business
Most of your mail is handled digitally, but when something needs to reach you physically, securely forward it to wherever you or your team are working.
Assorted shipping options
Choose from a wide range of shipping options to find the right balance of affordability and speed.
International mail forwarding
Stable makes international mail forwarding easy, allowing you to forward mail to yourself or a designated team member anywhere in the world.

What is mail forwarding?
Mail forwarding is the process of receiving mail at one location before sending it to a second location. When you receive a mail item at your Stable virtual mailbox, it’s stored for 30 days before it’s securely shredded. Business mail forwarding allows you to send important mail items, that you need to retain physically, to a designated address. At Stable, forwarding works alongside your virtual mailbox, address, and mail management automations. It's built into how you manage mail, not a separate service you have to set up.
How do mail forwarding companies work?
Mail forwarding companies receive and scan mail at a real physical address before adding it to a digital dashboard. This digital dashboard allows you to see a high-resolution image of the envelope and/or contents for review, so you can decide if you want the mail item forwarded, deposited, or shredded.
How do I set up mail forwarding?
To forward an individual mail item, simply open it in the Stable Dashboard and select your forwarding address and shipping method. If you'd like to automate forwarding on a recurring schedule, you can configure that in the Automations section of your dashboard settings. Automated mail forwarding is available on Scale and Custom plans.
How fast is mail forwarded?
The speed at which mail is forwarded depends on the mail forwarding options you select. Stable offers a wide variety of business mail forwarding options to accommodate different shipping needs and budgets, with shipping times ranging from one business day to multiple weeks. Mail forwarding times can also be impacted by weather and other events.
Is mail forwarding good for long-term travel?
Mail forwarding is a smart solution for long-term travel, allowing you to receive mail at a virtual address and forward it to your current location. Stable offers international shipping options that allow you to forward mail anywhere in the world, making it a great option for travelers.
Is mail forwarding secure for sensitive documents?
Yes, mail forwarding is a secure way to receive sensitive documents. Stable securely stores mail for up to 30 days before shredding it, and mail is forwarded through reliable carriers like USPS and FedEx. For most sensitive documents, we recommend a tracked shipping option, since USPS First Class Mail and USPS International First Class Mail don’t include tracking. Registered agent mail ships via USPS First Class by default, but you can select a tracked or expedited option instead if you’re forwarding something sensitive.
Is Stable mail forwarding good for digital nomads?
Yes, Stable mail forwarding is a great solution for digital nomads. You can access the Stable Dashboard from anywhere in the world and choose which mail items you want to forward to yourself. Stable offers a wide range of international shipping options.
Does Stable mail forwarding work for U.S. expats?
Stable mail forwarding works for U.S. expats, allowing them to receive mail while living out of the country. As long as you’ve got a physical address where you can receive mail, Stable can forward your mail anywhere in the world.
Is there a limit to how much mail I can have forwarded?
No, you can forward as much mail as you receive at your Stable address. Each forwarded item is charged at the actual shipping rate for the carrier and speed you choose (USPS or FedEx, based on weight, dimensions, and destination), plus a small transaction fee — there's no separate flat fee per item.
