    I was a mostly satisfied customer of IC Group’s POBox.com URL and email forwarding “for life” service for twenty-five years, though they did occasionally lose some, but not all, of my renewal checks. But they recently told me that they were ending the URL forwarding in May, which will require me to buy new business cards; there’s nothing I can do about my soon-to-be-killed URL for life in my articles in academic journals. They did offer me a $10 credit, which I declined; that won’t even cover the cost of new cards.

    Their claim is that “maintaining URL redirects is not viable with our upcoming interface changes,” but that makes no sense, assuming they are not planning to hijack existing customer URLs: Those begin with a “~”; any URL their interface would use would not. Continuing to forward customer URLs would only take a small amount of work, and has no impact on the user interface. It is much easier than forwarding email, as it only requires sending a 3xx http response and a few header lines. Redirecting customer URLs, and forwarding the company’s URLs to their servers, could probably be handled by a Raspberry Pi Linux server costing about $50, plus a simple (and free) Apache web server plug-in.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
