Tried ordering 2 new Christmas phones for dh and and i. they won't deliver to a PO box! I live in a rural area. What to do???

[KingstonsMom]

Do you have a nearby friend of relative with a street address that they can ship it to?

[kittyloo]

@KingstonsMom , yes, thought of that.  we still know very few people. mostly just neighbors. i would assume that if i don't get mail delivery, they don't either.  maybe the AT&T store next town over?  thanks.

Also UPS stores will accept mail for you, using their street address, at a reasonable cost!

Tracfone is selling phones at Walmart.

I've been told to use the street address of the post office where sending it to. 

[depglass]

OKPrincess is right.  I set mine up like this

I M Hungry 553 

900 West Olive Street

Pizzaville CA  90655

That 553 is your box number.  We have this format, blessed by our postmaster for situations like you encountered.  We are small and it might not fly in large cities, but give it a try.

Its probably delivered by UPS.  How in the world would they deliver to a PO box?

Our post office says to use their street address and add your box number.

Example:

Jane Doe

Box 123 (your box number...just say box, not PO Box)

12345 Main Street (PO street address)

Anywhere, USA  12345

Yes, that's what I do. I use my local post office's street address.

A UPS Store may accept a few packages for you if you ask them first. The clerks will give you the address if they agree.
