No such thing. There are Post boxes in Beverly Hills,they have their own Post Office.
Post Office boxes come in many sizes.
Yes, there can be a PO Box 1 in a particular area. PO Boxes are assigned sequentially, so PO Box 1 could be in use, but availability may vary depending on the post office's location and demand for PO Boxes in that area.
Mail can usually be sent to a PO box just like a street address. Use the following format in the address: John Q. Public P.O. Box 1 Main St, PA 00000 Packages can also be sent to P.O. boxes; the post office will hold the box for them and place a paper in their box telling them to pick it up. The only mail that cannot be sent to a PO box is one that requires a signature on receipt.
No, only USPS can place mail in PO Boxes.
yes.... what happends is that a note is left in the po box for when the messenger picks up the mail he will go to the post office attendant and sign for it........
No, PO Boxes are locked and only accessable by the Postmaster and the box holder. If the Post Office has a "Local Mail" drop you can post the letter in there and it won't go to the processing center, it will stay at that office.
The United States Postal Service OWNS all PO Boxes at Post Offices. People or businesses may RENT them. Boxes that have a street address may be found at the UPS Store or Mailboxes Etc.
Any size package can be sent to a PO Box. The post office will leave a notice in the person's box saying that they have a package too larger for their box.
Amazon won't ship to PO boxes due to "Geographic Restrictions". They do allow small packages though, sometimes, it just depends on the scale of your order.
It is a Post Office Box. Instead of having something sent to an address of a place, you can organise a post office box through your post office and the post will be sent there. You can then collect it. It is a way of keep an actual address private.
