Be careful when doing business with Virtual Post Mail
On December 26, I requested by email that my account at Virtual Post Mail be closed. (Unsurprisingly, their web interface doesn't provide a way to do this, nor any instructions regarding how to close your account. Don't you hate companies that don't provide account closure from the web?)
Anyway, on the same day, I received a reply from Naohe that my account had successfully been closed, and will not be charged again:
As I expected, today, January 27, I received another charge on my credit card from this company:
So now I have to spend my time and effort contacting them to get the money returned, and again asking them to confirm closure of the account.
In the future, I'm sure that I will at some point again need a mail reception and scanning service, and you can be sure that when the time comes, I will not be returning to Virtual Post Mail.
