UPS or USPS?

Question

What is better to use for receiving mail? Getting a USPS post office box, or getting one at the ups store, I think it is called mail box services. I heard that the UPS one doesn't have limitations like a normal P.O. box does. With size and that the UPS one is like a physical address, anything can be sent there, a lot of online ordering places will not sent to a P.O. box. What do you think is the best bet for a personal mail box?


And I posted this in government because mail (USPS) is a government business.

John - that is B.S. because here is the site that says they offer it - http://www.theupsstore.com/products/maiandpos.html

FRAGINAL-NOYPI - Not the same, you know the little brown trucks driving around, thats UPS.

Answer 1

US Postal does NOT have a restriction on the size of parcel that you can receive as long as it is a mailable size parcel.

Many Post Offices have access to PO Boxes 24/7, which is very convenient. There are also many more locations, so finding one closer to home is possible.

When you have mail or packages to send, you will be right there being able to utilize the US Postal Service where the rates are more reasonable than UPS.

To the above answerer:
UPS is not the same as US Postal Service, never was.

Answer 2

well i would say usps since its available all over the country (the p.o. boxes) compared with ups wich is only in selected places....i sell and buy a lot of stuff on ebay and ups always takes a WEEK more to be delivered then usps.....usps priority mail is the cheapest for packages and only takes 2-3 days for receiving/delivery packages....regardless of the size. so i prefer usps.

Answer 3

The government does not like competition so they have made it illegal for private mailing companies to make deliveries to any mail box, let alone a post office box.

Answer 4

UPS and USPS are the same. the former is US Parcel Service while the latter is the United States Parcel Service.
