Is there a way to just hold all your packages at the PO?

Clarify.

Are you talking about having your mail held, like when you go on vacation?

Pay for a Post Office box.

Alternative if applicable: Send a signed letter to the P.O. stating mailman may leave packages at your house. May help to leave copy of letter in your home mailbox

Its just that I don't want to wait home to get the packages

The packages cannot be left infront of house.

I want them to hold as it just deliver it to the PO and I just pickup

Basically instead of doing a 1st attempt. I want to just pick up the package from the local PO.

A PO Box wouldn't work out as for verification purposes

Any way to tell USPS to not deliver cause i'm never gonna be home

Saves them time if I just go to the PO

They used to have General Delivery which is exactly what that was. It was delivered to your local post office and then you pick up your mail there. I don't know if they still do that.

Not sure on your question, but I think if you asked nice, the guys at the Post Office will let you hold their package. ;)

How will you know that you have a package to pick up at the P.O.?
