Strange question with THE UPS STORE mailboxes and UPS forwarding....

[user3657]

Would redirecting shipments using UPS MYCHOICE from a ups store mailbox to my home work?

It should right? I have never used the redirect feature.

The only thing I get from reading is that ups will deliver that package to another location.

Not sure it works with a po box

I use redirects in Australia like this.

I do not mind paying the fee

Thanks.
When I inquired about a box they told me its for personal use only. I did not take it any father as I did not see any policy so im not sure if they really enforce a package limit but I figured I would forward the packages before they even got to see them

Most places dont have any limits on package sizes, even if you rent a small or large box. The question is, if that PO box accepts any parcels from UPS.

PO Box (in the post office) do not accept UPS or FedEx, which is why a lot of places ask for a physical address and dont accept PO Boxes

The issue is that UPS and FedEx Delivery require signature and most po box places (especially USPS) will NOT do third-party signatures for the client.

UPS store can be used for business. It's a little extra. Personal use might refer to not accepting packages in anothers name

as far as the forwarding...... it's SUPER expensive, and I would just skip the UPS store box altogether and ask your customers to ship returns to you.

You're confusing PO boxes with the UPS Store mailboxes. PO = Post Office as in USPS does not accept UPS/Fed Ex. The mail boxes at the UPS Store will accept all carriers and will sign for them as well.

@JJGold, that what I meant - was only talking about PO Boxes not the UPS Store boxes but I will edit harder for clarity then

Please try to do this

It makes your posts hard to understand for newcomers.

Creates a ripple effect.

Any 3rd party PO box store act like real address and most if not all will sign all for any packages. Most 3rd party PO Boxes places will say tell their new customers that their boxes act like real address and not PO Boxes from a USPS place. They even say to the customer not to put "PO BOX", instead use "#".

USPS PO Box and 3rd party PO Box places are way way different. Some places are also about even on price.
