Is there a "virtual address" service that does this?

Does something like this exist where you can create multiple "virtual" mailing addresses that look just like an actual mailing address? And have them mailed to the same "real life" address?

We're in a bunch of different niches and want to limit the "spying" of competition as much as possible :-)

Thanks.

  If it's all for you, talk with the manager about getting your own series of box numbers that all go into one big box.
  
  I've got some other ideas, but it's like spitting in the wind without knowing more details. PM me with a more specific problem description if you'd like to brainstorm.

A virtual office such as Regus is about $50/month for mail services and you can find similar services in most major cities.

UPS Store and storage facilities will likely be cheaper. I pay $30 per quarter ($120/year) for a post office mailing box that I can receive US mail plus USPS, FedEX, etc. I'd shop it around. Just avoid PO boxes as you cannot get UPS, FedEx, etc.

My Local UPS store allows up to 3 business names or DBAs under my one account was a bit spendy up front to get it started like 70.00 dollars but that pays for 2 keys, and set up fee and 3 months of service. I can use just their address or each box you can make it a different suite number

I purchased a domain with privacy for the sole purpose of doing exactly this. I put up a website with some Commission Junction products on it that were somewhat related to the domain name - just to have some filler if anyone bothered to check the domain. On my cPanel, I created several forwarders (hundreds actually) and had them all redirect to one online webmail account on the same domain.

That way I only had to login to one account to check my email messages. Each email that was forwared to the webmail account showed the address to which it was originally sent. I found this to be a great method of tracking who is mailing what, plus it enabled me to keep my privacy at the same time. The cost was minimal - the cost of registration plus privacy, and $25 a year webshosting I used http://asmallorange.com - an excellent company, by the way- with a 'Tiny' account. (They allow you to install as many forwarders or webmail accounts as you want, even with their 'Tiny' hosting package.)

I don't do this now - someone actually contacted me and bought the domain, and it had served its purpose so I was ready to move on. It was a great experiement after all was said and done.
