We live in a very small town with a limited # of post office boxes at the post office. There is something like a 2 or 3 year wait for a PO box.

Which I really don't want anyway.

The furthest I have to go to get the mail, is right to the end of my driveway.

I'm thinking for our business that I probably will get a post office box soon. Checks are sent and even though we normally are around to get our mail ... we're not always.

It's delivered to our house, sometimes if i am subbing on this route i deliver my own mail, how fun is that? lol.
Funny thing about delivering in your own neighborhood, you get to know who's addicted to online shopping and who gets the dirty magazines....lol.

We have a box at the end of our street. Theres only one big box to put packages in, and it its full or doesnt fit, we have to go all the way into town to get it. They refuse to drive down the street-which their policy is they can only drive 1/3 mile down the street-and we arnt that far down.

Both.

We have a mailbox where catalogs and magazines come in our fake name. Funny, we get a lot of junk mail, too.

Then our financial stuff and mail with our real name goes to the PO box.

When there is a large item, we live in a drop-off neighborhood. UPS / Fedex / USPS just leaves the package on our porch. Heck, if it wasn't for the dog, they could leave it inside the front door.

We could have the mail delivered to a box at the end of our driveway. But our driveway is long - and I don't like the mail sitting down there when we're away. We pay for a PO box in town.
