Mail Boxes Etc.

Mail Boxes Etc. (MBE) is a network of service centres for businesses, e-shops, and individuals. Under one roof it offers packing and shipping, e-commerce logistics and fulfilment, print and marketing materials, plus mailbox rental and virtual offices. It differs from the post office or a carrier in being a combination of multiple services with a personal B2B approach — handling the whole bundle around shipping and the office, not just one thing. The franchise system is managed by MBE Worldwide, headquartered in Italy.

There are two ways in: a single centre, or a master licence with the exclusive right to develop an entire territory. As a franchisee you get the brand, operating systems and network backing, training, and ongoing business support; HQ assumes that you bring the local market knowledge and commercial energy. What stays on you is building and financing the centre, hiring and leading staff, serving customers, and above all local sales.
