Actually many USPS PO boxes CAN get packages from other carriers - you just can't use the standard addressing scheme.

>An additional service to consider adding to your PO Box is Street Addressing. With Street Addressing (if available), you have the option of using the street address of your Post Office location, combined with your PO Box number, as your mailing address. This lets you receive packages from private carriers (such as UPS, FedEx, DHL and Amazon), as long as they comply with USPS mailing standards.

I think I just had to tick a box on the form. There was no additional charge.
