Postservice.at

Postservice.at is a premium virtual office and legally valid business address service located in the heart of Vienna, at Seitenstettengasse 5, 1010 Vienna, in the prestigious first district. Operated by 1010 Works GmbH and bootstrapped for over eight years, it has established itself as one of the highest-rated virtual office providers in Austria, trusted by more than 1,000 satisfied customers and earning an exceptional 4.9 out of 5 rating.

Postservice.at receives mail every business day, scans all incoming documents in a GDPR-compliant manner inside Austria, and offers optional forwarding and package acceptance.

GDPR-Compliant Digital Mail Scanning

Postservice.at offers a comprehensive digital mail scanning service that operates fully within Austria, ensuring strict compliance with GDPR data protection regulations.
