I am in the same situation.  I do not get mail at my residential location (Except for FedEx/UPS).  My mailing address is a PO box in the next town over.  What you should do in any circumstance is, call immediately after you apply, and let them know that you have two addresses, one mailing and one domicile address. 

Lol - are you my neighbor on the other side of the mountain???

 

I don't have a "physical" address either.  There's a 911 address (just a very recent thing), but no one has anything up to indicate any such address.  We really don't even have house numbers.   

 

UPS, Fed Ex, the Post Office - NONE of them will deliver!  

 

I share your frustration!

Yeah I have a 911 address that isn't recognized either...I have to have UPS and FedEx ship to my parents house then go pick them up. I once had to drive to the UPS distribution center to pickup a package because the sender used my PO Box to ship via UPS. I guess with no real addresses, we've slipped through the cracks!

It is now possible if your primary address is a PO Box, to use the physical street address of the Post Office for your mailing address. Do NOT attempt to do anything illegal. . Also do not use this for legal documents like wills, stocks, divorce degrees, etc. However, you can have UPS and FED EX delivered to your local Post Office branch for pick up. At least you can where I reside.

I have been using a PO Box for years. Even AMEX lets you put a PO Box for mailing address, but you have to have a physcial address due to Patriot Act. I have the actual cards sent to PO Box, no issue. I am lucky that my PO Box and physical address share the same zip code. I have found that if you have two address lines in the application, when I put the PO Box as the second line, then the Post Office always delivers the letter to the PO Box as default, even though there are two addresses on the letter, the key is same zip code. I have nothing ever come to my house, I have had to call CC and tell them that I travel for work and I can't have mail in my home mailbox as it is not secure, and that I have had mail stolen before as my home is right on the corner where middle school and high school kids catch the bus. if that helps..

I had this problem for years, no door to door delivery.  I moved about a year ago, it's so much nicer.

What kind of abode doesn't have a mailing address for USPS? I don't really get that  

 

I live in an apartment complex and we have a central mailbox thing (by the apartment office ) and each apartment has a tiny little mailbox and we get a key for it and it all goes it there  

 

Yes, I just used the word abode  

The town I lived in before did not deliver mail to residences.  You had to physically go to the post office and get your mail from your PO box.  This created a problem when ordering things.  A lot of them would state, No PO Boxes.  Well, that was all I had.

Y'all from out in the boonies then, huh? xD
