How much would a P.O. box cost on average?

[MaxDSP]

anybody have any information on them, like how long you need to rent it for, prices, etc?

 

[aphex]

curious about that myself, bump ^

i think mine was like $45 at the post office for a year...i think, i know it was under $60 for a year tho

 

[laFiera]

i rent one with mailboxes etc and they have different prices.i have the smallest one and is about $18per 3months..

I get all my amsterdam seeds in my p.o box. Its well worth the money each month.

$26/6mo for a box large enough for small packages. Price actually decreased this year. Great way to control your mail particularly if you do the moving student action.

I would be surprised if you couldn't find info @usps website

$28 for 6mo. 1 size up from the smallest at the local PO

hypothetical situation...what if a delivered box is too big for the po box? would they take it back or leave it with the store, like mailboxes etc?

 

[Herbman]

They have lockers that are big for 1 time uses, they leave the key in your PO box.

Take the key to the locker open it theres your over sized item.

I pay $40/year for a little box.

 

[Evadman]

I have the smallest box and pay 68 a year. ( Roselle Illinois ) I get the cake for being highest so far!

are you using USPS or something else? I just talked to my friend in schaumburg and he pays $20/year for a USPS box

 

[RossMAN]

I pay $84 per year for a USPS mail box, it's one size up from the smallest. I find it holds magazines, letters, bills, and other junk mail more efficiently than a super cramped ghetto box.

If I receive a large package such as a DVD Player from 800.com they leave a "parcel pickup" slip in my PO Box, I take it to the counter or their will call (closes at 6PM), they take it and hand me the package.

The only downside is UPS and FedEx will NOT deliver to a USPS PO Box. But if you get a PO Box from somewhere like Mailboxes Etc. USPS, UPS and FedEx should all deliver to those addresses.

I pay $45 a year for one of the little ones.

things like rebates don't hit up on PO boxes either sometimes.

I was told by local PO, the Annual or semi-annual PO Box rental fee depends on region where PO is located; how many boxes are in the location, how much income the location brings in to the USPO, etc. So don't expect to find the same rental fee, let's say, in Minnesota as in Delaware.

Peace for the Holidays...
