‘door-to-PO boxes allow mail to be picked up whensorted, rather than when it is delivered to thephysical address, which will be some hourslater
A mail user who regularly receives largeparcels or items that must be signed for mayfind it convenient to pick up the rest of the mail
at the same time
A mail user who moves frequently can keep
a mailing address
A mail user may desire a more famous orprestigious address For example, inWashington, D.C., many large P.O box facilitiesare located near or even outside city limits
A business receiving large volumes of mailmay maintain separate post office boxes forseparate departments, such as one for sales, onefor customer service, to reduce the need to sortinternally
PO boxes are more secure than many homemailboxes, preventing mail theft and identitytheft
If you live on a boat, PO boxes can serve asyour address, but are not necessary
