Mail forwarding services

Hi, can anyone recommend a reliable intl mail forwarding service ? We're moving to Bogota from DC this summer and I've seen ACCESS USA, among others but just don't know which ones are most well known. Thanks

Try USABox USABox has worked perfect for me. You get an address in Miami, and several plans to choose from. I pay $35 a month for one shipment of documents (mail).

You are emailed a jpeg file of each item that you receive, as they come in, so you can get an idea of what mail you are receiving. At any time, you can log in and view a list of pictures of your mails, and "delete" any of them that you don't want sent, such as obvious junk mail. I'm finding that with online banking, often I have all of my mail discarded during some months, but I still have to pay the $35 for the service.

I have not tried another service.

If you are young, skilled, and intelligent, you might want to seriously consider leaving the US now, while you still can.

Mail I use US Global Mail. Their premium service is $150.00 per year or $15 per month with 3 month limit. They offer review of packages and mail received. They then offer just about all the courier services USPS, DHL, FEDEX. I normally use FEDEX economy and the mail is here in about 4 days. They (US Global) also receive packages from me with my mail for the States. I use FEDEX to send packages to Panama and the States. I tried Servientegra (sp?) once and didn't like their attitude or service. With them my private mail must not be sealed. With FEDEX all my private mail was sealed. I don't like the thought of some wrong person reading my private mail. If customs want to open the mail, that's fine.
