NOHO Mailbox vs PostScan Mail
PostScan Mail is a solid mid-market network at $15-$45/mo, but you’re still buying service from whichever partner operator runs that local storefront — quality varies. We have lower-cost starting tiers AND we own the storefront, so the service quality is consistent every single visit.
Side-by-side
| Feature | NOHO Mailbox | PostScan Mail |
|---|---|---|
| Business model | We own the storefront — single owner-operated CMRA | Partner-operator network across US |
| Plan range | $50/3 mo ($16/mo) – $95/3 mo (~$32/mo) | $15/mo – $45/mo (varies by location) |
| Lowest entry tier | $50/3 mo ($16.67/mo) — with in-store scanning at $1 a letter | $15/mo Basic — usually scanning-extra |
| Real LA street address | 5062 Lankershim, NoHo CA — verified | Multiple LA-area partner locations — quality varies |
| Mail scanning | $1/letter up to 3 pages | Per-piece — varies by partner |
| Walk-in storefront | Yes — Mon-Sat, same team | Operator-dependent — every partner is different |
| Service-quality consistency | Same operator, every day | Quality varies by partner location |
| Local shipment handling | Live quote; NOHO local delivery in LA and the San Fernando Valley | Not standard |
| Notary on Form 1583 | Free with Business / Premium | Customer’s expense |
Where we're honestly better
- ✓Owner-operated — the same crew handles your mail every visit, not a different partner
- ✓Lower-cost starting tier when you factor in $1-a-letter scanning + free notary
- ✓local delivery is quoted per shipment
Where PostScan Mail wins
- ·Much wider US footprint than a single LA storefront
- ·Established 20+ year brand recognition in the virtual-mailbox category
- ·Multiple metro addresses if you need presence in many cities
Should you switch?
PostScan Mail’s broader footprint is a real advantage if you live outside LA — they have partner operators across most US metros. The catch is that you’re buying service quality from whichever partner runs the location, and that varies. If you’re LA-based and want a single storefront where you know the same humans handle your mail every day, walk in.
Lower-cost tier + consistent service
