How to send mail to a post office for pickup

To send mail to a post office for pickup, you'll need to follow these steps:

Method 1: Using a Post Office Box (PO Box)

1. Go to a post office and rent a Post Office Box (PO Box) in your name. You can do this online or in person.
2. When you rent a PO Box, you'll receive a unique box number and a key to access your box.
3. To send mail to your PO Box, simply address the envelope or package to your PO Box number, using the format: "Your Name, PO Box [Your Box Number], [City, State, ZIP]".
4. Drop off the mail at any post office or mail carrier.

Method 2: Using a General Delivery Address

1. Go to a post office and ask for a General Delivery address. This is a special address that allows you to receive mail at the post office without a PO Box.
2. The post office will provide you with a General Delivery address, which will be in the format: "General Delivery, [City, State, ZIP]".
3. To send mail to General Delivery, address the envelope or package to the General Delivery address, using the format: "General Delivery, [City, State, ZIP]".
4. Drop off the mail at any post office or mail carrier.

Tips and Reminders

• Make sure to include your name and any relevant identification (e.g., a return address) on the mail you're sending to the post office.
• If you're sending a package, be sure to follow any specific packaging and labeling requirements.
• Keep in mind that some post offices may have limited hours or availability for General Delivery or PO Box pickup.
• If you're sending mail to a post office for pickup, it's a good idea to check with the post office beforehand to confirm their hours and availability.
