What Postfachverwaltung means

MBE’s mailbox service means active mail handling, and not just an address where you receive your business mail.

What MBE does when mail arrives

MBE manages incoming mail. We handle your letters, parcels, registered mail, and cash on delivery items. All of these are received on your behalf and MBE then sorts, holds, or forwards them according to your standing instructions.

How it differs from Postfachservice

Postfachservice is the mailbox address itself. Postfachverwaltung is the active management layer on top. With our mailbox management for small businesses, MBE acts on your post rather than simply storing it.


How MBE Handles Your Incoming Business Post

MBE manages incoming company mail on your behalf. Through our mailbox management service, you get a dedicated mailbox where all your business correspondence and parcels are received. This adds a layer of security and certainty to your letters and packages. But that’s not all. We also forward mail according to your instructions and manage all your incoming mail with precision. We work with time-sensitive items according to your instructions. This includes registered mail, legal notices, and items requiring your signature.

Plus, when your post arrives, we take over the full process so you don’t need to be at a specific address to receive and act on it. Through our mailbox with forwarding service, you always stay on top of your correspondence rather than facing delays or missing important items. So, how does mailbox management work for companies? Here’s our simple process:

  1. Your mail arrives at your MBE Center address. This includes letters, parcels, registered items, and packages.
  2. MBE sorts your incoming post and identifies any time-sensitive or priority items.
  3. Post is processed according to your standing instructions, which may include items being forwarded, held for collection, or handled as agreed.
  4. You are notified of registered items or unusual deliveries, as agreed with your MBE Center.
  5. Outgoing responses or re-forwarded items are dispatched via the most suitable carrier.

If you receive multiple parcels from different senders, MBE can consolidate them into a single forwarding shipment, saving you postage and handling effort.

Postage-optimised forwarding: MBE selects the most cost-efficient carrier
