I used a USPS PO Box but used the actual address of the post office with my box # written as "Unit #" or "Spc #" or "Lot #". It absolutely worked. The USPS employees were smart enough to figure out that the Unit, Spc, or Lot # was actually a BOX #.
@@RandyMorris-wq7tr Good question. That would need to be tested. I know the UPS boxes will keep it pretty long (at least a few weeks). I definitely left packages there for 2+ weeks at times, and you can use that address for other things like I explained in my video. You would just have to have a UPS store reasonably close/accessible. Also over many months of doing this, I started to know all the employees at my UPS store. I could call the store and ask if stuff arrived or would have felt comfortable asking them to hold something longer if I was out of town longer because I actually knew all the workers and they were all familiar with me too.
You can also use USPS General Delivery. Just ask USPS for a General Delivery form to fill out. They are usually good for about a month. They should let you be able to refill it out when your time runs out. This might be an easier option that mail forwarding.
Thanks so much for leaving this tip in the comments here! I had never heard of this service from USPS before, so I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. Also I think future viewers of this video will also appreciate this information. Thanks again!
Glad I wasn’t the only one who didn’t know about these!! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I means so much to me Robbin 💕
I accidentally removed a post that you responded to. Thank you. In regards to the P.O. holding packages. I believe I was told about two to three weeks. But thank you so much for your response . I still look forward to trying this. Peace
@@RandyMorris-wq7tr No worries! Thanks for adding that info to the comments here as I’m sure it will help others as well. Would love to hear how it works out when you try it if you remember this video. Stay safe & happy adventures!
@@Savvytttv thanks so much! I’ve had to take a little time off of videos for medical reasons, but got some good stuff planned for 2024, so stay tuned ;) hope you had a great holiday season. Happy New Year!!
@@marenmakesit Maren, I hope you’re feeling better! This time of year suck. Been under the weather myself. Can’t wait to see what your plans are for 2024! Happy New Years to you!
Very useful will live in my car for a bit and need this for regular mail yk and for taxes when the mail comes so I can file it basically just need it for normal mail
Steve, I’m sorry to hear that. It sounds like you’re in a really difficult position. I am going to answer this assuming you’re in the USA. I unfortunately won’t be much help for any other countries as I don’t know much about their mailing systems. Small size mailboxes from UPS run between $10 and $30 a month depending on location. If you get a package, they will still receive and hold it for you even if it’s too big for the mailbox. I took that price range from their website. You can call any UPS store and ask for a quote. Maybe call around and see if you can find one that is closer to the $10 price. It might be worth it if you really need an address you can use to spend that money on the mailbox. Of my other suggestions in the video, if you need to order something that you can find on Amazon, you could use an Amazon locker. Those are free with the cost of whatever you’re ordering. I also did some research to find that shelters (especially longer term ones) will often accept mail for you and so will churches that help people experiencing homelessness. You could also consider housesitting through Trusted Housesitters as a way to maybe take advantage of my suggestion to get mail at a temporary address and exchange your time caring for a pet for accommodations. Here’s a video on how I’ve done this: th-cam.com/video/NBMgAXcI9Qs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qJ1dVM05shURzqHT You are essentially trading your time working for housing then. I hope these suggestions help and thank you for watching.
@@last7509 Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you’re in a tough situation. Some of these suggestions would still be possible for you though such as housesitting, getting a UPS mailbox, or Amazon locker. Hope that helps!
AI should be used to track and disable mean people, people who cuss, say mean things, people who yell, argue, hurt others including animals. We wouldn't have to kill them. Just disable their abilities to gain access to others until they complete online re-education = proper ediquette and cordiality videos. After successful completion of training videos they could be afforded limited scheduled opportunities to try out their new skills in the outside world. By providing every person, aged 16 and over (if capable of and performing adequate self-care) a free studio apartment in a high rise, we could house everyone. Nice people deserve a nice and safe world, free from meanies like you. AI can provide a future where our children, pets, plants and wildlife no longer get harmed, emotionally or physically by mean people such as yourself.

@@besreal3419 WOW That is bloody brilliant! Thanks for sharing this. I hope other viewers get to read this comment, and it helps someone out. ❤️
This sounds good. I would like to test it. But I understand that the USPS has a time limit on holding packages. A small hiccup if it works.

In these interesting times more people are using 📫 PO Boxes. However the USPS has raised rates. I still am nervous about IPostal 😮

Not having a mailing address already can be an issue. Try the suggested po address. At least try and maybe share the experience.
Thank you 🙏

If you are on government benefits like social security or Medicare you need to have a UPS mailbox

Most of us viewers want to look at and listen to Maren for 22 minutes at the very least. Doesn't even matter what she's talking about.
