So far I have found this site in California and now that I know how to word my search I am looking for more. Talk to your Post Master.

Where I work we can not take a check with a PO Box number, it has to have a street address,but there are places where you can have a box with a physical street address.

I'm thinking about going back to a P.O. box because we live on a highway and can't safety leave mail in the box to be picked up. Also, our mail carrier often gets confused about just who's mail goes in who's box. There are 6 of us in a row and sometimes he is off a box (with names on box doors too). Today is a good example electric bill was mailed to us on the 17th and we got it today, refund on insurance was mailed the 17th got it today and a letter from my Quilt Guild showed up after being mailed the 15th. Just wonder who's box those were in or if they just got "lost" along the way ??? I would not change magazines or the like from the mail box, but bills etc. I think might send to the P.O box. .

When I was mailing some things to my grandchildren, I wanted to put just "Gramma" for name in teh return address. The post office told me that if it doesn't have a first and last name, they would not accept it. So I am thinking that perhaps the same would hold true for mailing "to" addy. Worth asking before you go the trouble and expense of changing to a PO box.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Everyone has their own circumstances but for me my physical address works best. I live about 10 miles from the PO so I wouldn't drive there everyday. Also there is alot of places that won't ship to a PO box. Another thing is you can only pick up your mail during their hours & the cost of renting the box also.

There are some business that will not mail/give you business with just an po box.....like credit cards? Most people/businesses wants an physical address. Am I right?
