Post Office Boxes
Many post office locations offer post office box rentals. Post office boxes are fine for receiving letter mail, but until 2012 package delivery to USPS post office boxes was not available from private carriers like UPS, FedEx and others. In early 2012, the Postal Service introduced a P.O. Box™ Street Address (PBSA) service that allows box-holders to combine the street address of the post office where their box is located with their post office box number into a street address format.[6][7][8]
USPS's Enhanced PO Box™ Services (of which P.O. Box™ Street Addressing is a part) have raised the ire of at least a few private-sector mailing and shipping centers. One UPS Store owner complained to the Postal Regulatory Commission, claiming the "new business practices place the United States Postal Service in direct and unequal competition with our businesses and thousands of other small businesses across the country."[9] Postal customers have also complained. One box-holder claimed that UPS refused to deliver her package to her "enhanced" P.O. Box.[10]
