Customer reviews
I created my Paperboy account in 2016 to stay in touch with all those organisations that send letters rather than emails. It also let me keep in touch with my tenants at the end of their lease and anonymise my personal address on many contracts. For all those little things you have to keep track of even when you’re away, I recommend Paperboy.
Paperboy let me receive my mail throughout my 24 months travelling around the world. For its simplicity, I kept the service on my return — nearly 36 months together and no need to open my letterbox!
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we were looking for a service that would let us receive our mail without going to the office. We chose Paperboy to receive our clients’ contracts and our incoming mail. We saved on processing time and made archiving easier. It would be impossible for us today to consider going back.

Why forward or redirect your mail?
La Poste’s mail redirection service lets you forward your mail to your Paperboy PO box address.
This service is far more common than you might think, and La Poste is used to handling redirections for individuals and businesses. In normal processing periods, a La Poste redirection adds at most 24 to 48 hours to mail handling.
When mail is received in your Paperboy PO box in France, it is scanned and you receive it by email. Your postal mail therefore becomes accessible while you travel or are away.
No commitment!
The Paperboy PO box in France lets you receive your mail by email and keep an online copy in your inbox.
All Paperboy subscriptions are commitment-free and you can cancel your subscription at any time. The service runs until the last paid day of your subscription.
You keep a copy of your mail even after your subscription is cancelled.
You will be notified if we receive mail after a subscription is cancelled.
With Paperboy, travel with peace of mind!
