Best place to get an adress to receive shipments?

[bork_bork]

Where is a good place to get a place that will allow me to receive shipments? Not talking about ebay purchases but more like 50lb packages. Will a PO box work for this?

You'll have to contact your local post offices regarding on the regulations. Most of the times, they just leave a note in your PO box if the item is oversized/overweight, but there may be limitations.

Yes they will leave a pickup notice in the PO box

Keep in mind that ONLY Postal Mail can be delivered to a PO Box. If you want to get DHL, FedEx or UPS packages, try a UPS store or a Mom & Pop mailbox service.

I use the UPS store my self and so far so good,
Not having to be at home to wait on things is a plus,

I use a mom & pop that is directly across from the PO.

I got a box so that I don't have to worry about not being home for deliveries and then having to go to UPS, DHL etc for pickup. My guy takes it all. When I got a box, he just leaves me a slip in the box. I can even call to see if I have any mail.
