- Choose your PO Box size: PO Boxes come in various sizes, from small to large, depending on your needs.
- Pay the rental fee: The rental fee varies depending on the location and size of the PO Box.

Holding mail at a PO Box:
If you're going to be away for an extended period, you can hold your mail at your PO Box. Here's how:
