How to send mail to 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 with your name and PO Box number (e.g., "John Doe, PO Box 123, Anytown, USA 12345").
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 about General Delivery service. This service allows you to receive mail at a 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, [Post Office Name], [City, State, ZIP]" (e.g., "General Delivery, Main Post Office, New York, NY 10001").
3. Address the envelope or package with the General Delivery address and your name (e.g., "John Doe, General Delivery, Main Post Office, New York, NY 10001").
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 envelope or package.
• If you're sending a package, be sure to follow any specific packaging and labeling requirements.
• Keep in mind that General Delivery service may not be available at all post offices, so it's a good idea to call ahead and confirm availability.
• If you're sending mail to a PO Box, be sure to use the correct PO Box number and address format to ensure delivery.

By following these steps, you can send mail to a post office for pickup using either a Post Office Box or General Delivery service.
