Help protect your identity.
Would you knowingly leave your credit card numbers and other personal information out for anyone to see — or steal?
Of course not. These days, identity theft is a fact of life. So it's probably part of your daily routine to take steps to protect your identity. Online, you use passwords. At home, you shred important documents. And you even monitor your credit report.
But think about how much of your valuable information arrives almost every day and sits, potentially for hour at a time, in your unlocked mailbox. Your mail provides so much information about your life. You don't want it to end up in the wrong hands.
Our mailboxes help you safeguard your identity.
With a mailbox at The UPS Store, your mail is under lock and key. Our professional staff is always on hand during normal business hours to receive your mail.
At night, our location is locked, and only mailbox holders can access the mailbox area.
There's more — and these benefits are not only secure, they're convenient too:
· A real street address, not a P.O. Box number
When a P.O. Box number doesn't project the image you need, a mailbox at The UPS Store gives you a real street address.
· Package notification
We'll text or e-mail you when your package arrives.
· Call-in MailCheck
Save a trip. Call to find out if you have mail. We can tell you the sender's address and describe the envelope or parcel.
· 24-hour access
Pick up your mail and postal deliveries when it's convenient for you, day or night.
· Package acceptance from all shipping carriers
Never miss a delivery. We'll hold your packages in a secure location for pickup at your convenience - even oversized shipments. You no longer have to wait at home for a delivery or risk having valuable shipments left on your doorstep.
· Mail holding and forwarding**
When you're out of town, we can hold your mail and packages so they won't be left unsecured. We can also forward your mail if it's something you want right away.
**Additional fees may apply for mail holding and forwarding. We do not offer routine forwarding services for packages received.

You must open a mailbox in person at The UPS Store in Sterling, Virginia. Together, we will fill out & sign an U.S. Postal Form 1583, Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent. You must provide two types of identification. One must contain a photograph of the addressee(s). Social Security cards, credit cards, and birth certificates are unacceptable as identification. Acceptable identification includes: valid driver's license or state non-driver's identification card; armed forces, government, university, or recognized corporate identification card; passport, alien registration card or certificate of naturalization; current lease, mortgage or Deed of Trust; voter or vehicle registration card; or a home or vehicle insurance policy. A photocopy of your identifications will be retained.
In addition, you must complete a contract between you and The UPS Store for mailbox services.
If you are relocating to the area, you can reserve a box over the phone with payment. However your mailbox key and mail/packages will not be released to you until the PS1583 & Contract are completed. Payment is not refundable.
Completion of the PS1583 will not change the delivery of the mail that is currently being delivered to your home or work. To have this mail forwarded to your mailbox in The UPS Store by the US Postal Service, you will need to complete the Change of Address form at the Post Office or on-line at www.usps.com.
