Alright, I fibbed. This really isn't about obtaining free PO boxes,
|
|
rather it is a free (and legal) method to procure an equivalent of a
|
|
PO box known as Poste Restante (or General Delivery in the US).
|
|
|
|
PR is a free service offered worldwide, whereby a post office holds
|
|
specially labeled mail for the recipient for a certain period of time
|
|
(usually a few weeks). The recipient must come to the post office,
|
|
present a form of photo identification (cf. the requirements for a PO
|
|
box: typically two forms of ID and proof of residency), and retrieve
|
|
the letter or parcel.
|
|
|
|
To address PR mail, simply write 'Poste Restante' (or 'General
|
|
Delivery' in the US) in place of the street address, thusly:
|
|
|
|
Full Name of Recipient
|
|
Poste Restante
|
|
City, State/Province Zip/Postal Code
|
|
Country
|
|
|
|
To find out the specific PR policies at your location, simply
|
|
contact your local post office and ask them for the details (storage
|
|
time length, pickup location, etc). If your local post office states
|
|
that they don't support PR, then ask for the contact information for
|
|
the main post office in your area.
|
|
|
|
And there you have it, a simple, free alternative to paying for PO
|
|
Boxes :).
