PO Box's, Is it worth it?

[Buffalo]

Just curious if you use one or if it is even worth it.

Better off with ups store or a local mom and pop mail service, as they will sign for your packs.

Yeah, don't go through USPS. Just asking for trouble IMO. Get a private mail box instead. It may cost more but is worth at least a little peice of mind

I have a PO Box and I can tell you that it's not worth the cost, trouble, and headache. In addition, depending on your state, getting a box at a UPS store is often less scrutinized than the USPS. If you do go the PO Box route, you can decrease--slightly-the risk/visibility by listing the physical address of the post office and simply putting the number of your box. This way, it looks, on the surface, the package is going to an apartment.

Example:

PO BOX 12345
Speedos, New York 10453

Would be changed to:
511 West 165th Street, 12345
Speedos, New York 10453
