UPS OR USPS MAILBOX

[Anonymous]

I have a UPS Store mailbox because I don't agree with the USPS policies on handguns and also so I can receive packages.  I haven't applied for any new cards since moving to Colorado, but I have no problem listing with my address for my current cards.  This also could be because I use the physical address of the UPS store and tack on a #123.  The only credit card where I have to list PMB #123 is AMEX.

I live in BFE and I don't have a physical address. The only CCC that has had a problem with my PO Box being my only address is CapOne. Amex, Citi, WF, & Barclays all took my box address without question. My box has been reporting as my only address for over 10 years so that may have helped; I'm not sure a brand spankin new box address would be as welcomed though.

i used a UPS store mail box for years and i never had a pblm. say my addy was 123 main street, instead of puttig po box, i would put apt number XYZ (ups said i could do so) or u can put suite number. i received cards and pre approvals to this box for years. say your box number is 100

example: Mary Smith, 123 Main street, apt. 100, town, state, plus zip. someone earlier nailed it on the head.

When you sign up for a USPS P.O. Box ask about the options the PO BOx comes with that does not cost extra and included in the PO Box fee. 

For example, you can check off an option on the form for you to be emailed when you have mail in your PO Box.

But to your question, there is another free option for you to use the USPS physical mailing address to make it seem like you have a physical address, but it will be delivered to your PO Box. The USPS rep. told me about this which is a cool feature. For example, if your PO Box is:

PO Box 1234

Any City, California 99999

and the USPS location address is:

444 Any Street

Any City, California 99999

You can have your mailing address listed as a physical address like:

444 Any Street, # 1234

Any City, California 99999

So your PO Box is #1234 but you are using the USPS physical office location

So voila! You have a physical addess that sends mail to your PO Box location. 

No one has to know and appears to be a street address with a unit "1234" but it's in fact a PO Box

This is good info.. Also check with them to see if you can use zip+4 .. Since I don't have home mail service, I can use my physical address and tack on my po box number to my zip such as:

PO BOX 678

Any City, ST, 12345

OR

123 Any St.

Any City, ST, 12345-0678
