Going Postal

The United States Postal Service recently introduced improved features to make post office boxes an even greater value for customers. 

Did you know that you can now use the street address of a post office for your PO Box and benefit from the credibility of a street address for your business?  If you sign up for this feature, the post office will accept packages from private carriers that do not deliver to a PO Box.  These packages would be placed in a secure parcel locker, if available, for your convenience.  This service is especially important if you own a small business because you can now use a street address – not just a PO Box number – for your business.

The USPS also now offers Real Mail Notification ™ Services.  You can receive an email or text message each day you received new mail in your PO Box, Monday through Saturday. 

Additionally, you can have the post office keep your signature on file for signature-required mail and packages, including Express Mail ®, Insured Mail over $200 (including Electronic Return Receipt), and Signature Confirmation ™.  These items would then be placed in your PO Box or in a secure parcel locker for you to pick up at your convenience.  No more standing in long lines!

To find out more about these services, please visit your local post office and speak with a retail associate.
