Gi mail drop
You're referring to a "General Delivery" mail drop!
General Delivery is a service offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that allows individuals to receive mail and packages at a post office without a permanent address. Here's how it works:
- You go to a post office and ask to set up a General Delivery account.
- You provide your name and any other relevant information (e.g., your country of origin, if you're a foreign visitor).
- The post office will assign you a unique General Delivery address, which will be in the format: "General Delivery, [City, State, ZIP]" (e.g., "General Delivery, New York, NY 10001").
- Mail and packages sent to this address will be held at the post office for pickup.
- You can pick up your mail and packages at the post office during business hours.
Some benefits of using General Delivery include:
- No need for a permanent address: This can be helpful for travelers, digital nomads, or individuals who don't have a fixed address.
- Secure storage: Your mail and packages will be stored safely at the post office until you pick them up.
- Convenience: You can receive mail and packages at a post office near your current location, rather than having to return to your home address.
Keep in mind that there may be some limitations and restrictions on using General Delivery, such as:
- Some post offices may not offer General Delivery services.
- There may be a limit on the amount of mail and packages you can receive at one time.
- You may need to provide identification to set up a General Delivery account.
If you're interested in using General Delivery, I recommend checking with your local post office to see if they offer this service and what the specific requirements and restrictions are.
