How to qualify to getting a “free” p.o. box at the postal office?
I personally do have a “free” PO Box. I did pay a $2.00 one-time fee to get keys for it, but I am not charged an annual fee to keep this box. The reason it is free for me is because there is no curbside delivery for my house. Since curbside delivery is normally free (as far as I know), if you do not get such a delivery, they must provide you a free PO Box at the local office. In order to open the box as free, I had to show proof of residency. Since there was no mail and my deed does not have the physical address, I had to use my loan approval paperwork. The USPS website describes this kind of delivery “Central Point Delivery”. It just so happens that in many of the communities around me, the Central Point is the Post Office.
