... agree with most answers here so you could get yourself down to the post office and they'd sort you out or you could check the PO web site...

Answer 2

hi, a PO Box address will cost you £45.55 for six months, or £56.15 for 12 months, or if you pay double that you can also get your mail delivered from your PO Box to your home address.
However - We [Royal Mail] reserve the right in all cases to give the address of the PO Box holder, should it be requested.
This info was straight from Royal Mail's site http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=600006&mediaId=600043
To be perfectly honest i wouldn't bother unless you really think that it is necessary.
I used one for the first year of starting my business, thinking that it would make my business appear larger than it was, and to avaid people coming to my home address as i had no need to take out insurance to cover that i was work was mainly administration based.
As the renewal approached i just couldn't justify the cost against the benefits of using it - most of my custom wasn't in the local area so noone was going to turn up at my door, and i had started to use the fact that i was a small business to my advanatge (ie give a more personal service verses a large organisation) so i dropped the PO Box add, and have had no problems at all using my home address.
If i were you i'd weigh up all the pros and cons before diving in and using one. And good luck with your business venture by the way x

You can get a PO Box through your local post office or at places like The UPS Store. I've done it both ways and it keeps things anonymous. The only thing... if you are expecting to receive large packages you should ask them first if they'll accept it as a lot of them won't. I was able to rent on a 3, 6 or 12 month basis. I think if you rent 12 months, it's cheaper on a monthly basis - around $18 to $20 Canadian a month.

Answer 4

You can't, that's the idea of having a PO Box

Answer 5

They will require an ID for you to rent one and you have to list all of your business names and any names you will be receiving mail under. Unfortunately it is hard to remain anonymous with a federal post office box. Other places are held to the same standards such as mailboxes etc and local storage places also offer rental boxes. They all fall under the US mail laws and require IDs to rent and paperwork documenting what business names you will be receiving mail under.

Answer 6

Easy, go to the Post Office and say "I'd like to rent a P.O. box please."

The will rent you one and give you an address something like

Joe Bloggs
P.O. Box 123
Flemington
Melbourne
Victoria
Australia
3031

It costs a little though

Answer 7

It will cost you to set up a P O box and it takes about a week to set up and all your mail has to be collected from your local sorting office but you local delivery office should help you out

Answer 8

Contact your postal service, normally you have to collect the mail from your local delivery office, but you can pay for it to be delivered. Also bare in mind this does not cover parcels and packages sent outside of the normal mail, like courier services.
