PO box vs. home address

Inasmuch as "Mail Boxes Etc" has been purchased by UPS and is now called "The
UPS Store," I vote for renting a box, but not from the post office; rent one
from your local PO Box retailer.

Even before UPS purchased MBE, I used the box rented there for business.
FedEx and UPS will BOTH deliver to an UPS store/MBE post box, but since UPS
purchased MBE, FedEx will no longer provide pickup services there. Rent a
"business" box," however, and not a "personal box."

To keep your rented box from looking like a rented box, but also so as not to
lie blatantly, use the following address format:

The Name (personal or business) for which you rented the box
The Street Address of the Place where your box is located
#[insert number of rented box]
Town, State where your box is located
Zip where your box is located

A street address and number gives the appearance of an office address,
wherein the street address is the building in which your office is located and
the
number of your box is your office suite at that particular street address.

I'm just about completed two years using this method and have no mail
send/receive problems whatsoever.

Good luck,

Celeste
