Rent a P.O. box from the U.S. Postal Service and you get a choice of sizes and fees depending on the location. The Postal Service has policies of which you should be aware when renting and using a post office box.

Privacy ▶11选5彩票官方下载

Postal Service policy protects the privacy of P.O. boxes, so they are beneficial if you run a business out of your home but do not wish to receive business mail at your home address.

Closings ▶11选5彩票官方下载

The Postal Service requires most post offices to close on Saturday afternoons, Sundays and federal holidays, although many keep their lobbies open 24/7.

Rent a P.O. box in person or online at the USPS website. USPS policies require two forms of photo identification: your driver’s license and another official ID card or passport.

Wait List ▶11选5彩票官方下载

If the post office does not have the P.O. box size you need, you can ask to be put on a wait list. The Postal Service calls or emails you when a box becomes available.

Payments ▶11选5彩票官方下载

The USPS rents boxes for six or 12 months at a time. Fees vary depending on location, but can run as little as $5 a month. If your renewal fee is more than 10 days late, Postal Service policy is to close your box and consider your mail “undeliverable.”
