Accepted Answer

save office's Virtual Office is $39.99/month ($33/mo billed yearly) with 60 mail items a month, scanning and shredding included and no per-item, per-page, or per-recipient fees. LegalZoom's $29 Starter looks cheaper up front but adds $3 per piece over its limit, plus per-page and per-recipient fees, so the real bill depends on your mail volume.

Question 10

How much does LegalZoom Virtual Mail cost per month?

Accepted Answer

LegalZoom Virtual Mail uses a five-tier ladder: Starter MailBox at $29/month (5 mail items, 2 recipients), Essentials MailBox at $39/month (25 items, 5 recipients), Premium MailBox at $79/month (50 items, 20 recipients), Startup MailRoom at $139/month (100 items), and Business MailRoom at $229/month (250 items). Every tier then adds $3 per mail item over its limit, $0.10 to $0.15 per scanned page beyond 20 pages, $5 per extra recipient, and $30 per extra address. save office's Virtual Office is $39.99/month ($33/mo billed yearly) with 60 mail items a month, scanning and shredding included and no per-item, per-page, or per-recipient fees.

Question 11

Is LegalZoom Virtual Mail worth it, or is there a cheaper alternative?

Accepted Answer

LegalZoom Virtual Mail makes sense if you already run your LLC formation through LegalZoom and want everything on one bill. If you mainly need a real business address with mail scanning, a dedicated provider is usually simpler and more predictable: save office covers the same core use cases — LLC filings, IRS mail, and bank applications — on three clear plans, from $12.42/mo billed yearly up to Virtual Office with 60 mail items a month and scanning included, with activation in 24 hours.

Question 12

Can I switch from LegalZoom Virtual Mail to save office?

Accepted Answer

Question 13

What does LegalZoom Virtual Mail actually cost at higher mail volume?

Accepted Answer

Because each LegalZoom tier has a hard item cap with $3-per-item overage, the real bill depends on volume. At 50 mail items a month the right tier is Premium MailBox at $79; staying on the $29 Starter plan instead would add 45 items at $3 each, or $135 in overage, for $164 a month. Add a second recipient ($5) and the bill climbs further. save office's Virtual Office is $39.99/month ($33/mo billed yearly) with 60 mail items a month, scanning included and no per-item or per-recipient fees, so your bill stays the same every month.

Question 14

Does LegalZoom Virtual Mail have hidden or extra fees?

Accepted Answer

The headline plan price is not the full cost. On top of the monthly plan, LegalZoom charges $3 per mail item over the plan limit, $0.10 to $0.15 per scanned page beyond 20 pages, $5 per month for each extra recipient, and $30 per month for each extra business address. save office's Virtual Office is $39.99/month ($33/mo billed yearly) with 60 mail items a month, scanning and shredding included and no per-item, per-page, or per-recipient fees, so the price you see is the price you pay.
