Hello,

Does anyone know how a small business owner can operate a PO Box service? I'm interested in setting up one shortly but I really have no idea where to do the research.

Sent an e-mail to USPS if they can provide some information but there is no answer.

As you are all familiar, customers visit the store, register and get their own PO box. I know USPS is not the only place to get one because I've seen small private business offering PO service.


If you have any information about this topic, I appreciate if you can give me a lend. Thank you in advance.

The most common ones I've seen are these guys http://www.mbe.com/wfo/index.html

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the franchise fee for the UPS Store is out of our range based on the target market.

So, what you want to do is kinda copy their business model then?

Yes. USPS finally replied via e-mail and they offer programs for interested retailers/owners. Basically we would offer customers po box service like USPS, UPS Store, and etc.

Good, they finally answered. Yea, the USPS is known for a lot of things, and being fast isn't one of them, lol. So, what are you going to offer that the local post office doesn't? Later hours? More services? Friendly people at the counter?
