Sounds like a plan to me. We are moving to the mountains soon and there is very little house delivery up there . Most folks have a PO box.

We did that 4 years ago - even the school bus won’t drive within a mile of where we are. UPS and Fedex can never find us and putting our address in a GPS device leads people to somewhere 30 miles away. It’s great.

When I first moved to the country 10 years ago, I had a mailbox at the end of my driveway. But since my dirveway is 1/4 mile long, "going to check the mail" can be problematic.

Plus the dinky little Post Office here is 100% staffed with complete idiots. Lost my mail on a regular basis. So I complained to the "higher ups." After several week of nothing but stonewalling and getting the run around, I figured I was gonna have to fix the problem.

So I got a box at the UPS store in town. Not the most convenient since that's 20 minutes from here, but at least I get my mail.

The UPS store will accept and sign for packages no matter the source (UPS, motor freight, FedEx, USPS, etc.), a service you can't get with a USPS PO box. Plus they then send you an email saying you've received a pkg. I like it!
