If you can, it's worth it to get a mailbox at UPS/FedEx/similar places. They can accept packages from other carriers (USPS po boxes won't do this), and your mail will be safe.

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

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.

This is how my younger brother gets his drugs sent to him without my parents finding out. Honestly, I'm impressed he even knew about it...he's 17. The kids going places. Maybe even your kids soccer game to sell those drugs...be on the lookout.

I received mail package a lot so I always have my own PO box so it's safe there.
