I'd like to order something online and have it sent "general delivery," meaning it's sent to my local post office so that I can pick it up there. Can I do this? When I tell the online business where to ship the package to, do I just type in my name and the address of my local post office?
Also, I believe I have to show the post office my I.D. to pick up the delivery. Is it okay if I'm a minor (I'm 17 years old)? Do they only care about matching the name of my I.D. to the name on the package? Seems to me like they'd have to have something else to go by (since there can be more than one person with the same name), but I guess packages don't have your social security number or anything else on them, so...

I am pretty certain that most merchants will not ship "general delivery" or that this is even an option in this day and age. If you are buying something that is not legal for those under 18, someone will be prompted to check ID. You can't buy alcohol online and expect to actually have it delivered.
I bought some one and it just happened that when they tried to deliver, only the kids were home. The mailman did not leave it. I had to make arrangments to have it delivered when I was home.
Check with the USPS.gov website.
