Understanding the Differences Between Store Only, Store + Scan, and Store + Scan + Post Virtual Mailbox Services

When it comes to managing your mail with a virtual mailbox like Roja Mail, choosing the right service tier can make a big difference in your experience. Whether you need basic storage, digital convenience, or comprehensive handling, understanding the differences between Store Only, Store + Scan, and Store + Scan + Post options will help you find the best fit for your needs.

Hereโ€™s a breakdown of what each service includes and who itโ€™s best suited for:

1. Store Only

The Store Only service is the most basic option, designed for individuals who need a secure and stable address to receive their mail but donโ€™t require immediate access to its contents.

Features:

  • Your mail is securely stored at your virtual mailbox location.
  • Suitable for individuals or businesses needing a reliable address in Spain.
  • Mail is held until you provide further instructions (e.g., pickup, forwarding).

Who Itโ€™s For:

  • Expats and travelers who are temporarily away but plan to pick up their mail later.
  • Individuals who receive low volumes of mail and donโ€™t need urgent access.
  • Those who want to save on costs and prefer basic storage without additional features.

2. Store + Scan

The Store + Scan service adds an extra layer of convenience by allowing you to digitally access your mail. When mail arrives, you can request it to be scanned so you can view its contents online.

Features:

  • Secure storage for your mail.
  • Email notifications when mail arrives.
  • Digital scanning of the envelope and its contents upon request.
  • Access to scanned documents through a secure online portal.

Who Itโ€™s For:

  • Digital nomads who need quick access to their mail from anywhere in the world.
  • Professionals and businesses managing important documents remotely.
  • Anyone looking to reduce paper clutter by going digital.

3. Store + Scan + Post

The Store + Scan + Post service offers the ultimate flexibility, combining storage, digital scanning, and physical mail forwarding. This tier is perfect for those who want both digital convenience and the option to receive physical copies of their mail.

Features:

  • Secure storage for your mail.
  • Notifications and scanning services for digital access.
  • Mail forwarding to any address worldwide.
  • Flexible options for how and when your mail is sent.

Who Itโ€™s For:

  • Frequent travelers or expats who move frequently and need mail delivered to various locations.
  • Individuals managing important documents that require physical copies (e.g., legal or financial paperwork).
  • Businesses that need both digital records and hard copies of contracts, invoices, or other critical correspondence.

How to Choose the Right Service for You

To determine which service is the best fit for your needs, consider:

  • Volume and urgency: If you receive frequent, time-sensitive mail, Store + Scan or Store + Scan + Post may be the better options.
  • Accessibility: If youโ€™re often on the move, Store + Scan ensures you can access your mail from anywhere.
  • Document requirements: If you frequently need hard copies of your mail, Store + Scan + Post provides the flexibility to forward physical items.
  • Budget: Store Only is the most cost-effective option for those who need simple storage without additional services.
