Mail boxes for amz
 

Hi, Im looking for ideas on getting mail boxes for amazon accounts. there's only one UPS store within a reasonable distance. There are online remailers available, and several private mailbox stores, but the problem is I need a new name for each and they all so far insist on at least a DBA, or a business license (using a company name that sounds like a person). So, this puts a real krimp in my ability to spin out accounts. Anyone find any other way to have a functional mailbox with a not-real-name?

Pay a homeless man to open one for you :)

Open PO BOX account with USPS.com Do it online and they let you add 5 name easy, no question ask. One of those 5 must included your real name to go pick up the key.

@OP, USPS mail box store is also within reasonable distance?

Re: Mail boxes for amz
 

Where in the post does the OP even mention USPS?

Tony wrote about opening USPS online - I was wondering if OP had USPS post store within reasonable distance to him/herself

Not what you wrote though

I was asking OP because he/she will be using what Tony wrote....

So if 5 different people can be registered on the mailbox do they give you 5 keys as well. Also wondering if the responsibility is shared among those 5 people of that po box or just the original owner.

I would imagine an accurate answer is on USPS's website. Please post the answer.

I looked already and didn't find anything on about it or about the 5 names.

Over to you Tony

Niet, they just give up to 2 for free, if you go back and tell them that you lost them they will give you more as many times as you loose them, but you have to pay for the copies and is illegally to make copies yourself, in the u.s at least.

5 names is just a name. You can put more name if you would like to.
For the key, it just 2 key like any P.O Box out there.

I opened mine couple months ago for myself (not stealth). I have my name, wife's name, daughter's name (even for the little girl :) ) and my business name.

If you have an USPS.com account just sign-in and select the box size you want to see if it letting you put any name you want or not.

I don't think share the P.O Box is a good idea, It's not that much money to share. Mine only more than $30/year and I can receive FedEx/UPS/DHL packages as well

I don't remember that I see any of this information on their website Micky. I didn't look either.

I just need a PO BOX and opened an account and saw that I can put 5 or more name on it.

It will be faster if you go to a usps location they will want you to open as a business p.o box to add more people to pick up the mail but you can have as many to received them ,the difference in opening a business is buying the box "size 3" and up which is less than $50 for 6 months but if you open a personal p.o box you can buy "size1"tiny p.o boxes and you can pay starting less than $20 for 3 months.

Another trick with USPS boxes is to not use the box # alone but use the actual physical street address of the Post Office where your box is located and just say Ste #1099 or whatever

So instead of

John Doe Inc
PO Box 1099
YourCity, Az 78095

It Becomes

John Doe Inc
1492 Jackson St Ste 1099
YourCity, Az 78095

1492 Jackson St being the actual physical street address of the post office.

I have done that several times and mail does get through.
