The only problem with family/friends/neighbors, they always like to open my box and see what I bought. Had a neighbor say he was testing my computer to make sure it works. Crazy people these days!

I know the UPS Store has a real address, not a PO box, if you have one of their mailboxes. I was looking into it a few weeks ago. I think the small mailbox is about $13/month. The larger mailboxes are obviously more money, but here's the thing: if you get a small mailbox and it fills up, as it probably will, they set aside your mail for you. So I'm not sure why anyone would get a larger mailbox. They will also set aside packages. I think it's a pretty decent deal however I found a cheaper mail receptacle called Mom and Dad's Address and it is free.
But like someone else said, I bet you can get mail at a company terminal if you ask. Just guessing but no personal knowledge.CondoCruiser and pharrari Thank this. -
I always used my sister's house or my PO Box. I noticed the past couple years seeing the UPS guy at the local post office. They have a buddy system going on where UPS moves USPS freight. But I don't think you know that stuff when you order. Sometimes UPS comes to the house. Sometimes he delivers to my post office and they deliver it.
I have had trucking companies overnight me plates or paperwork to truck stops before. So truck stops will work with you on quickies if you know you will rendezvous there. Just make arrangements with the manager.
If you are mailing many truck stops have drop boxes or outbound mail at the fuel desk.
