Vendors won't ship to your PO Box? Here's how to solve that.

My primary mailing address is my PO Box at a US Post Office. Any mail or packages I receive are safe from thieves, and if anything is bigger than my usual box, the post office simply puts the oversized item(s) into a larger, locked postal box for me.

But I have run into problems sometime with vendors who will not ship to a PO Box. That's frustrating.

Recently, I found out the way around this. If you have a PO Box, go to your local post office and fill out a short form, authorizing this.

If you are trying to have something sent to you, but they don't ship to PO Boxes, now you can simply have it sent to :
"John Doe
100 Main St, #n
Anytown, TX 75xxx"

Where "100 Main St." is actually your post office's street address, and "n" = your box number.
Alternatively, you may either use "#n" or "Unit n".
Don't put in any text that ID's this as the post office.

Easy, peasey, Japanesey.
