PO Box now can be used as street address

[sergfro]

Anyone else get the notice?

I can now use my PO box as a street address land accept packages for any carrier out there.

Got that for WA state address.

Verrrrrrrrrrrrry nice.

Street address has been possible in different places for a while. Depends on the state & even the county

[SUVE]

I wonder if this is also true for the UK front ???

[sergfro]

Do you put the location address then po box after? or can you just put in the address and a "#" sign then box number leaving the "po box" part out

I'm guessing since it's a street address you no longer have to use the wording "PO BOX".

Anyhow, where did you receive this information, was a notice left inside of your po box, or what?

[sergfro]

yes a notice was left in all of my po boxes

It's been awhile since I had a PO box, can you get stuff in different names shipped there or do you need to show I.D.?

They are hardcore. It's matching I.D. all the time.

And I thought this street address thing was pretty old news???

@sergfro: Can you post a picture or scan of that notice?

That would be much appreciated. Thanks!

This is pretty awesome. I purchased the stealth guide a few months ago and have read it, but some part i'm confused about is how I can even use my stealth account with a po box considering how I am not going to be able to use my real name for the account so things will be getting shipped to someone with a different name? Can anyone help me?

Same thing I was wondering, alot of people here say they use a po box for returns, something doesn't add up.

[Pringles]

Maybe a variation of your name im guessing?

For the small mom-and-pop p.o. box stores, you could get stuff in different names - just chat up the counter desk owner.

You tell the buyer to return item to your "dropshipper", which is your very own PO BOX.

I tried this myself and the post master told me to stop using the street address for my mail. He said that address is for the post office only and any mail that has the street address with my box on it will be returned to sender.

Be careful doing this unless you have a small town post master who simply does not care.

Here is an image of the notice I got in my po box. I spoke with a usps cleark and she confirmed that yes I can add the USPS address and just put # insted of po box.

I tried this and got hammered for doing it.

I see you letter is dated yesterday so things might have changed since I tried this. Then again my post master is overly picky, aggressive and forceful. He closed my box once because he said I was not getting any mail in it. Which I owned his sorry butt for because I was paid up for several months beyond that. I was using this as a buyers account and had not bought anything on that account for a while and this idiot took matters into his own hands and tried to close my box.

I hope I get this letter because I am going to cram it right down his throat.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow really? I got this letter in all my po boxes but they are all from one city. I should open up more boxes since I have like 7 post offices within a 5 mile range

He has been a real pita.

One of those who lines up his pencils in a row, has 10 ink pens in his little plastic pocket holder and cleans his glasses a million times a day.

He believes he owns the post office and makes everyone know he is the boss.

Until I hammered him for closing my paid for box in front of several people and employees. I felt sorry for him for a second knowing that he cannot close a box that has been paid for I had to take advantage of it.

Now he tries to avoid me so my idea worked like a charm and he leaves me alone!!!

Same guy who told me I was ordering way too many free boxes and he wanted to monitor the amount of boxes coming in versus going out.

What the idiot did not know was I have boxes coming into several other post offices and my home and made it a point to order 5 cases of No 7 boxes. Then shipped out triple that amount in one day to shut him up.

I can see him scratching his head on this one.
