  1. PO box (Post Office box): A private mailbox rented from a post office or mailbox service provider.
  2. General delivery: A service offered by the US Postal Service (USPS) that allows you to receive mail and packages at a post office without a fixed address.

  4. Virtual mailbox: A digital mailbox that allows you to receive and manage your mail online.
  5. Drop box: A secure location where you can receive packages and mail.
  6. Private mailbox service: A company that provides a private mailbox and mail handling services.
  7. Address forwarding service: A service that forwards your mail to a different address.
