What is the best digital mailbox solution? Here are four reasons why Schleps Mailroom and Package Hub is the hands down winner.
iPostal1 is a massive company with thousands of locations across the country. They are so big because they partner with brick & mortar post offices to handle the mailroom operations while they focus exclusively on the technology and marketing. iPostal1 is to digital mailboxes, what UberEats is to food delivery. No physical assets, all intellectual property and marketing.
Schleps, conversely, has a single location in the Fishtown Area of Philadelphia. 1507 Frankford Avenue is our address. If you need a digital mailbox outside of Philadelphia, then iPostal1 or AnytimeMail is the solution for you. However, for Philadelphians, Schleps is far better because of our business model, pricing model, and the direct relationship that we have with our customers.
Schleps Mailroom and iPostal1 both have mobile apps that allow users to digitally view and manage their mail. The difference is who is managing the mail. iPostal1 uses a partner model as we mentioned above. The mail handlers are independent third parties called operators who you don't know. Schleps, on the other hand, is a single, in-house solution. The app developers, mail handlers, and in-store staff are all employees of Schleps Mailroom. Everyone is accountable to Schleps in service of you, the customer.
A Schleps virtual mailbox cost 19.99 per month with unlimited mail items. iPostal1 has a range of packages and plans depending on the number of mail items that you receive each month. If you receive more mail than your plan allows, iPostal1 charges you per item. They even charge users for shredding documents as opposed to disgarding them. With Schleps, there is much less to worry about. We have straightforward pricing model that suits the customer.
iPostal1 is a large corporation based in NY. Schleps is a small business based in Philadelphia. One of the advantages of being a small business that serves local residents is that we have a direct relationship with our customers. There is a decree of trust and accountability that we have with our customers that iPostal1 cannot match.
