Premium Mailbox Expiration - and what happens to the packages
Our clients are notified about upcoming expiration by several emails. In case the rental hasn't been covered we remove privileges to maintain Mailbox content until the owed rental fees are covered. In situation that unempty mailbox is not paid for period exceeding 6 months, Mailbox is cancelled and its content is quarantined and sold in public auction. Amount received in this auction is then used to cover the owed rental fees for the Mailbox.

In case you have doubts about expiration of your Mailbox or the date of expiration seems to be incorrect, contact Customer Support, we will be happy check it out for you.


Standard Mailbox Storage Limit
If your package stays in the Mailbox for more than 30 days you are entitled to purchase extended storage for $5 per each 30 day period of storage. Un-extended packages stored longer than 6 months are considered as abandoned and are removed from the Mailbox and destroyed.

Letter and magazines stored in he Mailbox more than a year are also considered as abandoned and trashed.

 Tip: To prevent charges for extended storage you might upgrade to Premium account and extend the period of all packages by 30 days automatically, but you have to cover Premium account rental back one month, meaning you have to pay two months rental minimum but you are not going to be charged for inbound shipment fees.

Premium Mailbox Hibernation
If you are not planning on using Premium Mailbox in the near future you can either downgrade to Standard account with no monthly payments or you can Hibernate the Mailbox.

Advantages of hibernation
By Hibernation you will keep part of prepaid Premium Mailbox subscription intact. Hibernated Mailbox is ready to receive new shipment anytime and de/hibernate itself by new inbound shipment.

Principle
Mailbox can be hibernated only if it's empty. Immediately after the hibernation you will be charged $1 as a cover fee for 30 days of hibernation. During hibernation are all functions frozen but your Mailbox is ready to receive new shipment. We will charge you $1 fee for every 30 days of hibernation after. If there is not sufficient balance on your account to cover the hibernation fees your Mailbox will be de-hibernated.

Hibernation accounting and already prepaid period
In case you have prepaid Mailbox for certain period and during this rental period you will hibernate your Mailbox, we will save the date of hibernation and after de-hibernation we will count amount of days your Mailbox has been hibernated and will add it to your current expiration.

Example: Your mailbox expires on 12.6.2011 and you will hibernate it on 1.3.2010. After that you will automatically de-hibernate the Mailbox on 14.4.2011 by new incoming package. Length of hibernation was 45 days and expiration of your mailbox was updated to 27.7.2011.
