Welcome back everyone.
I'm Sofia Yvette, co-host andproducer.
Back in the studio today withowner of Parcelpedia, james
Banks.

Speaker 3 (00:52):

I'm also doing well.
Now ready to unlock moresecrets behind Parcelpedia's
doors, let's go Behind storemailboxes.
Part two Take it away, James.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
All righty, let's get
right into it.
We've talked about this subjectbefore mailboxes.
I did wanna go a little bitmore in depth as far as how the
process works, how wedifferentiate from like a post
office box, as far as all thatwe have to offer and what you
get out of it as a customer.
So some of the things that Iwould love to just make known as
(01:29):
almost just a fact for allhopefully, if you hear this
podcast, it'll stick with youand you'll remember it is that
our mailboxes are what'sconsidered a private mailbox or
a PMB, and with that we are alittle bit different than a PO
box.
The main difference is a PO boxis strictly a post office box,
so post office and that's it.
(01:50):
So USPS mail, usps packages,and that's where it stops.
We have private mailboxes whichgive you a street address and
they also allow you to establisha business with the address.
They allow you to receive mailoutside of the post office,
including internationaldocuments, and they also allow
you to establish a physicallocation for things like Google
(02:12):
Maps, google Reviews and otherthings for your business.
So some of the things that we'dlike to explain to customers as
far as the advantage to pickinga mailbox with us, the
Parsipedia, versus the USPS oranywhere else, is that we're a
full service mailbox.
So as soon as you sign thecontract for the mailbox it
comes with everything.
You don't have to check off anyextra bells and whistles, it's
just automatic.
(02:32):
So some of those things thatincludes is mail notification.
It's package notification.
We've done package deliveries.
We do curbside delivery of yourmail and packages.
We also do mail checks.
You can be in Singapore, callus up and say, hey, I need to
know what's in my mailbox andwe'll tell you right then and
there and again, with theability to receive mail and
packages from all the carrierswhich already come here to
(02:56):
Parsipedia, that being DHL, ups,fedex, lone Star, overnight,
any of these carriers.
We notify you and you do nothave to shift around or change
things to accommodate the boxthat you're in.
You can just order like youwould anywhere else.
And some of the more importantdetails of the mailbox is that,
with it being private, it's notjust in the name.
(03:17):
That is part of the mailboxconfidential agreement that you
will have.
It is strictly, strictly,strictly confidential.
So nobody other than themailbox owner who signed it up
or the people that they put asauthorized you know, pickup or
authorized users on the box, notonly can they not access the
box, they cannot even accessinformation on the box.
So if you have like acompetitor or you know, maybe a
(03:40):
disgruntled employee or angry exyou know, I don't know what's
going on with their lives butsomeone coming in and just
trying to scrounge upinformation, we're like a brick
wall.
I don't know who you're talkingabout.
I don't know what you'retalking about.
They will not be able to getthe information.
The only two people that canget that information that are
the mailbox opener, the personthat opened the mailbox, and the
(04:00):
postal inspector.
So they have a badge, they areofficial officer of the law and
so we can't tell them though wehave to let them in, but that is
very rare.
And if they're coming to lookfor your box, you probably got
other worries on your hands thanjust parcel media.
But it is very, very good tohave a box because it's a peace
of mind.
You don't have to worry aboutporch pirates when you're
(04:21):
ordering boxes.
You don't have to worry aboutmissing documents because of the
address.
It's just.
It has a lot of benefits to it.
One of our customers, or someof our customers would.
I would say some of thetestimonies as far as why they
like PartsB so much because theyget that notification of a
package or their mail and itjust helps them with their day.
It's like you're thinking, oh,I need to stop by the mailbox, I
need to stop by the mailbox, Ineed to stop by the mailbox, I
(04:42):
need to make sure, squeeze it in, maybe on my lunch break or
after work.
And then you get an email fromParsifida.
Hey, so far, you know, in yourmailbox is A, b and C for the
day.
And you're like, oh, I waswaiting on so-and-so to come in
and it didn't come.
So I know now I don't have totake that trip.
Thank you, parsifida.
You know, thanks for thatnotification and that's not, you
know, a juggling game as far asyour schedule, trying to find
(05:04):
time to get over here.
You'd come when you need tobecause you know it's there and
you have 24-7 access.
That's another benefit of themailboxes here at Parcelpedia
Anyone with a mailbox you haveaccess to your mailbox 24-7.
So Christmas Day, middle of thenight, it doesn't matter, you
can get to your mailbox andcheck your mail.
So really, any other thing thatwe can offer that will benefit
(05:26):
you, even if it's not strictlywritten in the contract.
We'll probably do that too.
We've done so many things, fromdriving down to the bank and
literally cashing not cashingbut depositing people's checks
for them while they're out ofthe state on vacation.
But they, you know it'simportant, it's a business check
.
They need it done, we do it andit's not a.
They don't come back with aninvoice on their, you know, in
their box and oh, you got to payus now for doing this.
(05:47):
It's just part of the customerservice that we like to offer.
So having a mailbox here opensup so many opportunities, even
if you don't have a smallbusiness.
It to have, just so you havethat separate address that you
can send things to, that you cancontrol, Because I know at home
, once you have a home addressor apartment address, you're
listed publicly and you're goingto get blasted with a junk mail
(06:09):
left and right.
No matter who you subscribe toor don't subscribe to or
unsubscribe from, you're stillgoing to get blasted junk mail.
Having a mailbox here.
It allows you to only give youraddress to those who need it,
right, only on a need to knowbasis.
If I need this vendor or thisclient to have my address, I'll
give it to them.
Otherwise, no one knows youhave that address, it's
confidential and it's yours.
So just a few of the benefits.
(06:30):
I could probably talk on and onuntil your ears are bleeding.
I'm not going to do that to youtoday, but just know that if
you come if you just come forinquiries, we'll tell you all
about it up and down, how itworks.
We'll give you an application,just so there's nothing left to
question or worry about, becausewe're here to help and I think
that we offer a great solutionto businesses and just private
use for the mailboxes so finalquestion for you today, james
(06:56):
why wouldn't someone want aprivate mailbox?
They love junk mail.
You know they'd make an origamiout of those Costco magazines,
or they're, you know, takingthose big old Uline phone books
and just whacking bugs left andright.
That's only two things thatcome to mind off the bat.
But I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I feel like we have so manyways to solve problems and help
(07:17):
them that it's a no brainer.
But of course it's just per use, you know, or per need.
So if you don't need it, I'mnot going to try to force you to
get one, but if you're in theneed or if you're in the market,
we're a great, greatopportunity for you amazing.
Any final words for us today,james, on mailboxes, yes, if
you're looking, if you're in themarket for a mailbox, at the
