Can you mail a package to the post office

What a clever question!

In most cases, you cannot mail a package to a post office. Here's why:

  1. Post offices are physical locations where mail is sent and received, not a mailing address. You can't send a package to a physical location, as it would be like trying to send a package to a house or a store.
  2. Post offices are not equipped to receive packages sent to them. They are designed to handle mail and packages sent to specific addresses, not to receive packages sent to their own location.

However, there are a few exceptions and workarounds:

  1. If you need to send a package to a post office for a specific reason, such as to have it held for pickup or to have it sent to a different location, you can use a service like USPS Hold for Pickup or USPS Forwarding. In this case, you would send the package to the post office's mailing address, and they would hold it for you or forward it to the intended recipient.
  2. Some post offices may have a special address or PO box where they can receive packages or mail for specific purposes, such as for a business or organization. In these cases, you would need to check with the post office directly to see if they have a specific address or PO box for receiving packages.

In general, though, it's not possible to mail a package to a post office. If you need to send a package, you should use the recipient's mailing address or a shipping service like USPS, UPS, or FedEx.
