Portland, ME

Tucked away in the most northeastern region of the U.S, Maine shares a border with more Canadian provinces than it does states! New Brunswick and Quebec are a quick drive away, and many Canadians can be spotted vacationing during the summer on beaches that open up to the Atlantic. In fact, Maine was briefly a part of British loyalist Canada during the war of 1812, but was then returned to the revolutionaries. Currently, the population is sitting at 1,344,212, with the historic capital being Augusta, and the most populous city being Portland. 

Maines economy is a diverse collection of natural resources, including maple syrup and commercial fishing. Lobstering, groundfishing, oysters, and seaweed are all popular Maine exports, with seaweed alone bringing in about $20 million to the states gross domestic product. Maine is also first in the U.S for blueberry farming, producing over 91 million pounds of blueberries in 2012 alone that were distributed throughout the country. 

Shipbuilding and ironworks have also been a mainstay in the economy for many decades, with the U.S Navy regularly ordering ships from Maine.  Maines ports also play a key role in international logistics, with the Gulf of Maine sheltering incoming ships from the massive ice floes in the Atlantic during the winter months. However, very few large companies are domiciled in Maine, leaving many areas of the market open for new businesses. 

Maine experiences all four seasons, and as a result it is common to find quaint New England towns in full bloom during the summer, or blanketed in snow during the winter. Maine is known for its natural beauty, rolling farmland, and a quiet seaside lifestyle enjoyed by residents. Maine has also recently become a magnet state for creatives, who have brought in various art businesses in the last few years and spurred gentrification. 

Maine is a great state for maritime, naval technology, tourism and manufacturing ventures, with room to grow for businesses looking to expand.

Your virtual mailbox can receive most of the same packages any other address could. Here’s how we break it down at Earth Class Mail. If you use a virtual mailbox that uses a virtual PO Box address, it can only receive USPS packages, which is also how traditional PO Boxes you rent from the post office operate. If your virtual mailbox uses one of our real street addresses, it can accept other shipments. Most of our other addresses accept shipments from a variety of carriers besides the postal service including FedEx, UPS, and DHL. To see which addresses accept packages from which carriers,  look up the address you use here to see which carriers it accepts.

Virtual mailbox problems: How we help solve issues for our customers

Earlier this year,  the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a 10-year plan that aimed to save the postal service from bankruptcy.  The plan came with higher prices for postage and shipping, reduced hours at facilities, and slower delivery times.

Earlier this year,  the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a 10-year plan that aimed to save the postal service from bankruptcy.  The plan came with higher prices for postage and shipping, reduced hours at facilities, and slower delivery times that have already lagged behind what once was standard.  Despite some lobbying efforts against the plan, the plan’s first changes went into effect in August when the price of postage and shipping increased.
