    Small Companies - PO Boxes

    Im not sure if this is the correct forum or not... but I have a question.

    Do any of the smaller webhosting companies uses PO Boxes or have one? I am intending to get one when I get home from vacation, but am just wondering how much they normally cost.

    Thanks,
    Alec

    What happens if they can't fit your mail in your PO Box?

    If something comes that won't fit in the box you have, they leave you a pick it up at the window card.

    $18 for 6 months, smallest size, at USPS. I don't know how their rates compare to mail boxes at places like Mail Boxes Etc.

    Those prices are relatively cheap, I'm assuming most of them are located in the US? Here in the UK, we're paying about $150/year for a P.O. box, but that inlcudes the Post Office delivering any mail that is sent to it, so we don't have to go checking it or to go and collect the mail .

    I had a box at Mail Boxes Etc. and if I remember right, it was something like $12 every 1 or 2 months. I cancelled it a long time ago so I can't really remember and now have my own office, so I have a "suite"-style PO Box downstairs that doesn't cost me anything.

    That would be nice, to have the Post Office deliver all the mail that is sent to the P.O. Box...

    Because our tiny city has grown so much that our mail started becomming unreliable, (Mailman would leave "we tried to deliver" notices in the mailbox, because he was too lazy to knock on the door and actually try to deliver, or somtimes they would return packages or mail saying the address did not exsist) I had to get a PObox. (That was fun telling a company I had ordered a custom part from, that my address did exsist and wanted the item re-sent.)
    I have one PObox at the US post office that is $20 for 6 months, and I can pick up my mail 24 hours a day. If there is a package, or something that is too big to fit in the box, they leave a note, and I have to go in during business hours to pick it up. The only problem is, they do not accept UPS deliveries.
    I was going to get another one at a mailbox service where they will accept UPS deliveries, but after calling around, the cheapest one was $20 a month. and a lot of them don't give you 24 hour access.
    So far I have managed to convince people to send things via the post office instead of UPS, but sometimes it can be a pain. A select few only use UPS, but I hesitate to give out my home address, because I get too much junk mail already. Odd, that junk mail never gets lost.
    DANG DANG! DANG!!™
    I know ***** ripped off everybody else, but they wouldn't do it to me.

    Here, in Breckenridge Colorado, the USPS is so lazy they won't deliver mail, so we have to buy a PO Box if we want mail.

    Horrible.

    Somehow school buses (delivering live children), UPS trucks, FedEX trucks and delivery men are able to make their deliveries every day, but the USPS can't deliver our mail.

    And they raise their rates every few months. I won't even buy a book of stamps anymore, I can't keep track of how much it costs to mail something.

    Sorry about the rant. I hate the USPS. It's the worst.
