A post office box can be a valuable alternative to having your mail delivered at home. Mail is typically delivered to a post office box sooner than it would be to an address. It can be helpful if you are in the middle of moving and need all of your mail to go to one place. You many also consider using a post office box if you do not wish for people to know where you live.
