Can you get regular mail at a ups box

UPS does offer a service called UPS Mailbox or UPS Store Mailbox, which allows you to receive mail and packages at a UPS location. However, it's not the same as a traditional mailbox at a post office.

Here are some key differences:

  1. Mail delivery: UPS Mailbox services typically only accept packages and mail sent via UPS, FedEx, and USPS (United States Postal Service). They may not accept regular mail delivered by the USPS, such as letters, bills, and catalogs.
  2. Package acceptance: UPS Mailbox locations may not accept packages from all carriers, including USPS. They may only accept packages from UPS and FedEx.
  3. Package handling: UPS Mailbox locations may not handle packages in the same way as a post office. They may not accept packages that are oversized, irregularly shaped, or require special handling.
  4. Mailbox access: You may need to visit the UPS Mailbox location to collect your mail and packages. Some locations may offer 24/7 access, while others may have limited hours.
  5. Cost: UPS Mailbox services may charge a fee for package acceptance, storage, and retrieval.

If you're looking for a traditional mailbox to receive regular mail, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Post Office Box (PO Box): You can rent a PO Box at a local post office, which allows you to receive mail and packages from all carriers, including USPS.
  2. Private Mailbox Services: Some private companies, like Mailboxes Etc. or The UPS Store, offer mailbox services that allow you to receive mail and packages. These services may have similar limitations to UPS Mailbox services.

Before choosing a mailbox service, consider your specific needs and the types of mail you expect to receive.
