Other than the apc, I don’t use the post office at all. Almost everything is ups or FedEx and both are way better than than the USPS on any given day.
I’ve kept a ups store box for years. I don’t like packages dropped on the doorstep when I’m not home. They sign and send me an alert at from the store.
I have a post office box at a medium-sized post office here in Maine.
I filled out a short form, and they allow me to use their street address in order to receive packages from UPS and FedEx at the post office.
For packages sent by UPS or FedEx, I would give them my first name and last name, the street address of the post office on Main Street, followed by either the pound sign #
or the word “Unit,” then my box number, then the city, state and zip code.
I wouldn’t like packages dropped on my doorstop, either. Besides, my residence is difficult for UPS to find anyway.
