Will be full timing soon and have heard of MyRVMail, American Mailbox and USA2Me for having mail sent to us while traveling. Any opinions on these? Any others to check out? Leaving Florida soon towards who knows!Advantages and disadvantages? Costs? Reliability?

USPS is United States Postal Service - your regular mailman. It now has a division that delivers parcels as well, in competition with and sometimes in partnership with UPS - Untied Parcel Service, the brown truck!!

The private mail services and mail forwarding services are independent of those, and run as a private enterprise.

MyRVmail.com in Crestview has been great to work with thus far. It also only took 1.5 hrs to obtain our drivers licences and establish our domicile at the Crestview County Bldg.

I used USPS STORE. They provide a real address.
Emphasis on the word 'store'. It is NOT the United postal service.

I locate a 'USPS Store' where I am at and I sign up.

Then I go to the official United Postal Service on line and click on forward my mail to that address. https://www.usa.gov/post-office#item-213659

Post office forwarding is good for 4 months. If I stay longer than 4 months or move location you just go back and renew your forwarding to new USPS STORE where you are at.

Lol I did this for over 6 years! :C

I believe you mean UPS STORE not USPS STORE. USPS is the United States Parcel Service, in other words the post office. UPS is the United Parcel Service which has no association with the government.

I have used St. Brendan's Isle in Green Cove Springs for the last 10 months.
Have not been disappointed, mail arrived when and where I needed it to go and could count on the day it was supposed to have been there. I have FL residency.

so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Weโ€™ve been using Escapees Mail Service for over 13 years and they have provided us with great service. Itโ€™s my understanding they now provide mail service for not only Texas but also South Dakota and Florida

Well sort of, they provide mailing addresses in FL and SD which along with TX are the major RV preferred domicile states. But they ship all the mail back to Texas and process it there. I've heard some belly-aching about that, why I don't know. We aren't going to start using one until May 20 when I think we will use St Brendan's Isle.

Yes, X2 in Florida, St Brendan's Isle in Green Cove Springs. Been using it for about eight years, never once had a problem. Very pleasant folks in office too.

I have been FT since 2006 and I am very happy with My Home Address SD. Tell them PMB 1312 recommended them.
Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

A lot depends on what state you domicile in. If you retain a Florida address then it doesn't matter. If you want a mail service that gives you a Florida address for domicile purposes then you have more limited choices. There is Escapees, I think Passport America uses an outfit in Tampa and there is another on Green Cove Springs that a lot of people like. There maybe others that I don't know about.
That would be St. Brendan's Isle. We have used them since 2006 and love them!!
