Can you mail to yourself

A clever question!

In most cases, it is not possible to mail a letter or package to yourself, as it would require a physical address that is not your own. Mail services, such as the United States Postal Service (USPS), typically require a valid recipient's address to deliver mail.

However, there are a few exceptions and workarounds:

  1. PO Box: You can rent a PO Box from the USPS or other mail services, which allows you to receive mail at a separate address. In this case, you can send mail to your PO Box, and it will be delivered to you.
  2. General Delivery: The USPS offers a General Delivery service, which allows you to receive mail and packages at a post office without a specific address. You can send mail to "General Delivery" at a post office, and it will be held for pickup.
  3. Mail forwarding services: Some companies offer mail forwarding services, which allow you to receive mail at a different address. These services often require a subscription or a one-time fee.
  4. Virtual mailboxes: Some virtual mailbox services, like EarthClassMail or Virtual Mailbox, allow you to receive mail and packages at a virtual address, which can be forwarded to you.

Keep in mind that these options may have limitations, such as fees, restrictions on the types of mail that can be sent, or requirements for pickup or forwarding.

In summary, while it's not possible to mail a letter or package to yourself in the classical sense, there are alternative solutions that can help you receive mail and packages at a different address.
