Mailbox Rental Notification System in DC

Mailbox Rental Notification System

What exactly am I talking about.

Here in Washington DC, and other The UPS Stores, if you get a private mailbox rental, you also get a mailbox notification system.

The question I have been asked several times is, “What exactly do I get with the mailbox rental here in DC.  What kind of notification?”

The system is really quite straight forward.  So first, here is what we don’t do.  We don’t send notification for the receipt of mail that fits inside your mailbox.

We’re not lazy, but we have 300 private mailboxes, and 2/3 of them receive some mail every single day.  We would have to raise your rent to do that, because it would be a manual action to make it happen.

But what The UPS Store here in DC and in most places do is provide you notification by email when we receive mail or packages which cannot be put in your box.

We will scan the shipping label bar code when we receive it.  Then put a receipt label in your mailbox (it looks just like the printed labels you see on UPS packages).  And we put a copy of that label on your parcel.

When the package information is saved in our Mailbox Rental software, the software automatically sends you an email notification of the package.  This is important, since we need you to pick up your parcels within 3 days of receipt to prevent storage charges.

When you come to the store, and you find a shipping label in your private mailbox, you bring to the counter and we will retrieve your package for you.

The Mailbox Rental system will also send you notification of the end of your rental payment, letting you know that your next payment is due.  Remember, this is all done automatically.  The store associates never see your email.

I hope that explains things.

Be sure to leave comments, I would love to hear from you.
