Can priority mail be sent to a post office box

Yes, Priority Mail can be sent to a Post Office Box (PO Box). In fact, the United States Postal Service (USPS) encourages sending mail to PO Boxes as a secure and convenient way to receive mail.

When sending Priority Mail to a PO Box, make sure to follow these guidelines:

  1. Use the correct PO Box address: Use the exact PO Box number and zip code on the address label. For example: "123 Main St, PO Box 456, Anytown, CA 12345".
  2. Use a street address: If the PO Box is located in a post office with a street address, you can use that address on the label. For example: "123 Main St, Anytown, CA 12345" (even if the PO Box is the actual delivery address).
  3. Do not use a PO Box as a return address: When sending Priority Mail, use a street address or a valid PO Box as the return address, not the PO Box you're sending to.
  4. Check with the post office: If you're unsure about sending Priority Mail to a specific PO Box, you can contact the post office where the PO Box is located to confirm their policies and procedures.

Keep in mind that some PO Boxes may have specific restrictions or requirements for receiving mail, so it's always a good idea to check with the post office beforehand.
