MBE began with a dream over 25 years ago. What began as a single location in Carlsbad, California, is now the largest network of business communications and postal service centers in the world, with over 5,900 locations worldwide.

Why Choose MBE International?
Global Vision, Global Opportunity
In 1980, the first Mail Boxes Etc. (MBE) center opened. The concept was simple: Provide small businesses and individuals with a better, more convenient way to meet their basic business needs. Consumers responded positively to the MBE concept and franchising opened up the opportunity for thousands of entrepreneurs and families.

Since that time, the number of small businesses and consumers around the world that demand quality services and time-saving convenience have grown. As our customers demanded more, MBE adapted its operations and services to meet their needs. This is why our centers now offer extended operating hours and expanded account services for businesses of all sizes.

Today, MBE is a global network with more than 5,900 locations, serving more than 60 million customers a year. Our revenues are $1.5 billion annually. MBE has been ranked #1 in the Postal and Business Services category by Entrepreneur® magazine for 18 consecutive years. And that was all before we joined forces with UPS®, the world’s leading express carrier and largest package delivery service. UPS serves more than 200 countries and territories. In 2001, UPS generated revenues of $30.6 billion and delivered more than 3.5 billion packages and documents worldwide.

Today, with the support of UPS, becoming an MBE master licensee or franchisee promises to be more rewarding than ever.
