What's the difference between an address service and a mail service?
A mail service prices the product around mail handling, with the address treated as a feature. An address service prices the product around the address itself: a base address fee with optional mail handling on top. The conceptual difference matters when your mail volume is low; the cost difference matters when it is high.
See how TDPB works for the address-first model in practice.
It depends on usage. The TDPB base address from € 7,50/month on the yearly plan, or € 15/month on the monthly plan, with mail handling priced separately (€ 0,90 per scan, € 7,50/month unlimited, or € 27,50/month full service), is in a similar range to a small PO Box rental in many countries. The differences sit elsewhere: you don't have to visit anything in person, you get a real street address rather than a PO Box number, and most banks, insurers, and government bodies accept it as a correspondence address. Acceptance can vary, so always verify the specific requirements of the institution you are dealing to be 100% sure. See full pricing on our rates page.
Each location has a fixed monthly fee of € 15 (ex. VAT). You’ll be charged separately per active location.
Yes, absolutely. Many couples share a single Digital PO Box. You can simply add the second name in the portal, so we know to expect mail for both recipients. All post is delivered to one shared inbox, and both of you can access it anytime.
Only you. Once your post is scanned, it’s uploaded in encrypted form and only accessible via your secure customer portal.
While local partners handle the physical mail before scanning, they are contractually bound to follow strict privacy rules, including not reading or inspecting the contents.
TDPB staff and system administrators do not have access to scanned documents or account content.The most common hidden costs across providers are per-item scan fees, location-dependent pricing, and per-forwarding charges. With TDPB, all pricing is itemised: the address fee, scan credits, and forwarding options are each listed separately. There are no charges added outside of your chosen plan during the subscription period. For a complete view of what is included in each plan, see our Rates page.
That’s fine. Many of our users only get a few letters per year, but still need a reliable, fixed address. If you expect very little mail, it's best to choose scan credits instead of the Unlimited plan, as that will be the most economical option for you.
You’ll get both. All TDPB addresses are real, physical street addresses, not PO Boxes. But to make the address uniquely yours, we also assign you a personal PO Box number that you include when using the address.
Yes. We offer addresses in multiple countries so you can use an address in both countries, using the same Digital PO Box number. All mail neatly arrives in one inbox. So that’s perfect if you split your time between homes or travel frequently.
Even if you choose to scan and destroy mail, we still require a forwarding address from you. This is because it is possible to receive a mail item that cannot be scanned, such as a bank card. You will always receive a scan of the envelope, but in the case of a non-scannable item, this mail item will be forwarded.
You can update the forwarding address at any time and change it as often as necessary.
Please note: the costs for forwarding mail are automatically charged via the existing payment method you indicated via Stripe.
No. A PO Box is a physical box you have to visit. A virtual mailbox gives you access to your mail online, with full control and flexibility.
