This account is for a virtual mail service box, which has not been virtual at all. The location ********** provided the following: No virtual mail service : 3/21/2022- 8/30/2022 Support Ticket for no scans ($60.00)Notice in less than 7 days of business closure +20 Days of holding mail Additionally due to the short notice of location closing provided our business has suffered a loss of $492 for pre-printed business letterhead, envelopes, mailing labels, and contract documentation. On August 28th you provided the notification that the location transfer would send mail to the new location. Tracking was not provided and the below email reveals that mail still has not transferred after +20 days of just holding mail? The improper mail handling and lack of digital mail service is not only completely unprofessional for a paid service but a violation of the **** Services at Non-Postal Sites (CMRA) agreement and 18 U.S. Code **** - Obstruction of mail.Business Response

Your mail was forwarded to your new location. Your previous mail center consolidated your mail into one package, causing some confusion upon arrival. Our **************** team has contacted your new mail center to open the package and insert each mail item. Your previous mail center has agreed to forward any mail they receive for you in the interim. We apologize for the difficulty you've experienced. Unfortunately, it is inevitable that some of our mail center partners will close. You should have a much better experience going forward. We trust that the steps we have taken will settle this complaint.Customer Answer

On 8/29/22 I purchased a mailing address at ************ for myself and my spouse. US ************** requires a notarized form ****. Having difficulty finding a physical Public Notary willing to notarize the printed out form (iPostal1 puts signatures on one page, but the notarization is on a separate page), I went with the online ipostal1 partner organization ************ to notarize the document. IPostal1 assured in their FAQ that both my wife and I could sign and notarize the document this way. WRONG. ************ only does one single signature per document. Three days after notarization I get an email from iPostal1 telling me to upload my wifes ID. I did that, but despite several uploads, my iPostal1 account only shows docs submitted directly by **********. I went to the local Staples at which I purchased the mailing address, but all they could see at their end was that the account is pending. They would not scan/upload my wifes ID. I filled out a contact us form at ************ explaining the situation (including that their partner organization will not notarize two signatures on one form). They completely ignored the issue and asked me to upload or email pictures of my wifes ID to them. I did both. Again. No response or change in status of my online iPostal1 account. It boggles my mind how BBB can give a company like this an A+ rating.Business Response

April, 2022. I used ipostal1 shipping service to ship a product to my Arcadia address by ****** (The product worth $8300). The ***** never delivered the package to me. iPostal1 sent me a email said "they have been experiencing an internal issue with *****" . My package was still hold by ***** and won't release to me because ipostal1's "internal issue" with ******Business Response

Thanks for writing in to us. We appreciate your patience as we investigated this situation. An internal agent was assigned to work with ***** to get the item delivered to you, if possible. Our **************** team can file a claim for your shipment, if you so choose. Because there was no insurance purchased on your item, we would only be able to reimburse you a maximum of $100. We trust that the steps we will take will settle this complaint.

Our **************** has been in touch with you. We understand your frustration. While our team has worked closely with ****** they no longer have the package. Their policy is that they hold the item for 15 days and then dispose of it. The shipment was held by ***** not iPostal1. Since there was no additional insurance purchased for the shipment we are unable to reimburse you the full amount. We are only authorized to provide you with $150.00 over the insurance amount we provide. Our team has offered to mail a check to you.

I am opening this BBB complaint due to I postals failure to deliver the service that I paid for and their failure to follow up on my complaint.On Aug 19, 2021 I subscribed to iPostals mailbox service. After forwarding my mail and not receiving anything I decided to mail something to myself. That particular letter did not arrive at which point I contacted Ipostal via chat and I attempted to mail myself two more items. Those items did not arrive over the course of a few months.After several calls I was finally able to to get someone through their online chat. After explaining to them that my mail was not arriving and that I needed to cancel and have a refund of the complete service I asked him to verify my address. I was provided a completely different address than what I was provided when I initially signed up. Its my belief that my mail was going to a completely different address... One that I had no knowledge of and was no the address that I was originally given. Because of this I am requesting a full refund of all subscriptions paid from day one because I never received a properly delivered service.The address that I was provided when I initially signed up is:*** **************** ***** ********* ********************** I asked if these addresses change randomly, I was told yes they can, if a location closes, but mine had not been changed.So there was no way I would ever have received my mail or the letters that I mailed myself. I have also just spoke with someone today prior to opening this that confirmed I was given an incorrect address. Due to my account being closed he could not offer a refund, but I stated it was closed due to me being charged and never actually receiving my mail. He offered to escalate it, which I am awaiting prior to submit. No Resolution.Both support reps have acknowledged that I received a different address that what was actually assigned to my account, during the call today, which can be provided by audio. I WANT A FULL REFUND!Business Response

I have been paying for a digital mailbox service through iPostal1 and they have not been able to deliver on a single request. Their entire business is to receive mail on your behalf and to forward you a scanned copy digitally, but I have run into significant delays on a time-sensitive matter and nobody can help me. It's now nearly a week later and I still do not have any idea what's on the letter. **************** representatives cannot help. They say they will escalate and email me 'when they are able'. The supervisor that handled my escalation just simply parroted what the other rep said and ended our conversation before I had a chance to reply. It's frustrating enough dealing with poor customer service but this company is not even delivering on a service I paid for. I'm simply shocked that there is such a lack of ownership and responsibility at this company. They should not be allowed to charge for their services as they obviously cannot deliver.Business Response

Thanks for writing in to us. We are sorry about the delay in service. Our **************** team has contacted you regarding having your letter forwarded to you, per your request. Your mail center has been contacted as well, to ensure that tasks are completed in a timely manner. We work closely with our mail center partners to ensure that our standards of service and quality are maintained. This does not mitigate the frustration that you experienced. Our team has refunded the last month of your subscription. We trust that the steps we have taken will settle your complaint.Initial Complaint

I have sent several emails, called and stopped by the location to try to resolve this. Instead of ever receiving g a call back or any help they keep billing me every week for packages I picked up weeks ago! I have received several emails stating they are busy and giving me a service ticket but then nothing! They have billed me for more than 400 dollars since I picked packages up.Business Response
