Frequently Asked Questions...
A PO Box is a mailbox you rent directly from the United States Postal Service (USPS) at a local post office. It provides you with a P.O. Box number as your mailing address and is primarily used to receive USPS mail. PO Boxes are usually less expensive and offer basic mail receipt services. However, they have limitations: they only accept USPS deliveries, cannot receive packages from other carriers like UPS or FedEx, and access is generally limited to post office hours.
A Private Mailbox is rented from a private company, such as The UPS Store or other mailbox service providers. Unlike a PO Box, it gives you a real street address with a suite or box number, which can be used for receiving mail and packages from all carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.). Private Mailboxes often have extended or 24/7 access hours and provide additional services such as mail forwarding, package signing, and phone services. Because of these extra conveniences, they tend to be more expensive than PO Boxes.
We rent Private Mailboxes so we can offer you all of the services plus many more with your mailbox and for the same price as the post office.
Yes! We are proud members of the Association of Mail and Business Centers, a national organization of pack and ship store that offer mailbox rentals. To locate a store click here:

PS1583 Application for Delivery Through Agent
To complete the 1583 You will need to provide 2 forms of Identification. Once you have submitted your documentation, we will prefill the forms for you and have them ready to sign when you come in to get your keys and door codes.
Two types of identification are required for every person being added to the box who is 18 years old or older. One piece of identification must contain a photograph. Social Security cards, credit cards, and birth certificates are not able to be used as identification. All documents are subject to verification.
Acceptable identification includes:
– Valid driver’s license or state non-driver’s identification card.
– Armed forces, government, university, or recognized corporate identification card
– Passport, alien registration card or certificate of naturalization
– Current lease, mortgage or Deed of Trust
– Voter or vehicle registration card
– Home or vehicle insurance policy

Yes, absolutely! All the same information and documentation will be required but you can skip the online uploads. You’ll still need to create a payment account in the store and you can manage the account online or call or email the store to make changes.
You are automatically enrolled in automated payments. So long as your payment information is up to date you will be automatically charged based on the payment schedule you chose when signing up for your mailbox.
You can cancel your mailbox at any time by logging in to your account and cancelling the subscription or contacting your store via email.
When you cancel your subscription we will continue to receive your mail for up to 6 months. We will forward it one time for a fee of $25 at the end of that 6 month period or, you can request more frequent forwards at a reduced rate depending on the amount and shipping rates of your mail.
To put in a change of address with the Post Office and have your mail start being sent to your new address you can fill out the change of address form
If you have closed your mailbox with us and wish to change your address unfortunately you will have to reach out to individual mailers. The USPS does not allow a change of address to be filed by private mailbox renters. This is why you are afforded 6 months of mail forwarding at the end of your mailbox rental.
