Only drawback is that certain service providers do not deliver to PO Boxes.
I know FedEx do not
I know FedEx do not
Very true and neither does DHL.
I once had a person send me a package via DHL to my P.O. box ( even though I told them to send via snail mail) and once I realized that I called DHL and had them ship it to my home address.
I am not sure if that can be done with FedEx though.
My post office box lets me have ups and fedex deliveries, even signed stuff - They just let you use the post office address (physical), then I just put the box number after my name so it looks like:
name #722
Post office address
Town, State, Zip
I have used it for UPS signed delivery and I didn't have to sign for it either, USPS has a form you can sign to cover signatures for both UPS and FedEx.
I think different post offices have different services. I can see all my current service in "Managing my PO box" on the usps online site.
Cheers
I do this with UPS all the time.

Same, been working out great for years. Also applies for sellers on ebay that refuse to mail to a PO Box (but use USPS shipping anyway for some dopey reason).

I use a P.O. BOX and i have added a name similar to my forum name. So in other words I can use my real name AND a forum name for the same box. And i do not need to show ID. A P.O. Box is a great way for preserving your privacy and also keep your nosy neighbor's from knowing your business 
I didn’t know about the second name on the PO Box. That’s awesome. Great idea, thank you.
Yes...you fill out a form and sign for any name you want it to be. It works like a charm. Was not aware of it until a couple months ago.

It’s a double edged sword..... one side you use a different name, but must give a valid address. On the other side, you get a PO Box and have to give your real name. Find a friend or have it sent to minerjones to reship to you. He’s about as trusted as they come. Good luck.

I've mailed something to a very well-known, very well-respected member here who did not offer to give me his name. On the shipping box, I just wrote his bitcointalk username along with the rest of the information--and he received the package just fine. Are you averse to providing your address to someone here? Can you have it delivered to a friend?
I'm assuming you're in the US, of course. If you're not, I don't know how any other country's postal service works. And I understand wanting to be anonymous, but sometimes it's not completely possible and you have to make compromises.

Really? I had a P.O. box once when I lived in a rooming house where the mail for the residents was delivered all together, usually in a big pile, and I didn't trust that my mail wouldn't get stolen. That was about 16 years ago, but I think I recall having to show some ID at the post office. I could be mistaken, though. In any case, P.O. boxes are a great idea if you value the security of your mail. I wasn't aware of the anonymity factor. That's damn cool, too.
Hi everyone,
I just bought a collectible here. To preserve my privacy, I'd prefer not to give my real name and have the package delivered to a UPS Store or Post Office under a pseudonym. Has anyone done that before? My local UPS Store says they want a real name on the package so I can show ID for it, but maybe there's a way around that?
Thanks
