Private mailbox

[kristinaleigh]

Does anyone know where I can rent a private mailbox in downtown or Midtown? I would really like to avoid Fed Ex, UPS or USPS.

USPS ? Thats the U.S. mail . If you want a P.O. box , many post offices have them where you can rent a P.O. box . UPS/FedEx etc. can't deliver to a P.O. box

So, given the service organizations which you wish to avoid, who in the hell would be delivering to this rented box?

Why avoid UPS? The address you use looks just like a real one.

Or, "I'm looking to have narcotics illicitly shipped to me and would like to avoid detection."

I am supposing that the "who would deliver?" matter was not considered prior to the posing of the question.

Heh. Well, you can't receive large packages to a P.O. Box. Also, Fed Ex won't deliver to UPS and UPS won't deliver to Fed Ex. It's not an issue about what things I want to receive, but simply an issue of actually being able to receive things.

I think you really should check with the USPS on that PO Box thing. It isn't all about what will fit in the little box.

UPS won't deliver packages [[or anything) to a PO Box. I'm not sure FedEx will either. They both require a street address. USPS will take the packages and hold them for you. They put a note in your PO Box and you can go and pick up your package at the desk. Those Mailboxes places do take all deliveries for their boxholders. I think there is one in Harbortown, why not check with them?
