Can you send usps priority mail to a po box

Yes, you can send USPS Priority Mail to a PO Box. However, there are some limitations and considerations to keep in mind:

  1. PO Box size limitations: PO Boxes have size limitations, typically ranging from 5 inches wide x 3 inches high x 10 inches deep to 12 inches wide x 12 inches high x 15 inches deep, depending on the post office. Make sure the package you're sending fits within these dimensions.
  2. Package weight limitations: PO Boxes have weight limitations, typically ranging from 70 pounds to 100 pounds, depending on the post office. If your package exceeds these weight limits, you may need to use a different shipping method or split the package into smaller, lighter packages.
  3. Special handling: Some PO Boxes may require special handling, such as signature upon delivery or adult signature required. Be sure to check with the recipient's PO Box post office to confirm any special handling requirements.
  4. Tracking and insurance: Priority Mail packages sent to PO Boxes can be tracked and insured, just like any other Priority Mail package. However, tracking and insurance may not be available for packages sent to PO Boxes that are not staffed by a postal employee (e.g., self-service kiosks).
  5. Delivery confirmation: USPS offers delivery confirmation for PO Box packages, which provides proof of delivery. However, delivery confirmation may not be available for packages sent to PO Boxes that are not staffed by a postal employee.

To send a Priority Mail package to a PO Box, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Priority Mail label using the USPS website or at a post office.
  2. Attach the label to the package.
  3. Fill out the delivery address on the label, using the PO Box number and the recipient's name.
  4. Take the package to a post office or schedule a pickup from your home or office.
  5. Pay for the shipping and any additional services (e.g., insurance, tracking).

Remember to check with the recipient's PO Box post office for any specific requirements or restrictions before sending your package.
