Mailbox & Postal Services Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a mailbox at The UPS Store and a PO Box at the post office?
With a mailbox at The UPS Store, you get a real street address, not just a P.O. Box number. If you’re a business owner, having a real street address as your mailbox can provide you with a professional image for your business. The UPS Store also offers many additional services that the post office does not, services like package acceptance from all carriers, package notification and Call-in MailCheck®, all aimed to save you valuable time.
What does my mailing address look like?
Your mailing address will be the address of The UPS Store location, with either PMB (private mailbox) or the pound symbol (#) designating your individual box. Instead of “The UPS Store,” your name appears first.
Example:
Joe Smith
PMB XXX or # XXX
12345 Somewhere Street
Some City, Some Province Some Postal Code
What mailbox sizes do you offer?
The UPS Store offers various mailboxes sizes. Contact your neighbourhood location today to find out what’s available.
