I didn’t think about getting a Post Office (PO) Box until I purchased my business. But since having one, I would highly recommend it for your personal use.
Most times when a parcel is delivered to my home, they leave a red notice to pick it up from the local Post Office, so I need to visit the Post Office anyway. And the other times I find the parcel left outside …
A PO Box has better security and protection than your letter box, and you also get to protect your privacy online by not revealing your home address.
Plus it will be way easier if I move because I don’t need to change my postal address.
It costs around $150 annually for a PO Box, and I personally think it’s worth it. Visit this page if you’d like to learn more.
(I debated writing this blog post as I wasn’t sure of its broad appeal – until I bumped into my neighbour who shared she had a PO Box too for personal use).
