Fulltime travelers know the agony that comes when traveling and needing an "overnight" delivery from Fed-X or UPS. If you have only a post office box for your mail, you know who won’t deliver there. Michael Parker of Willamina, Oregon has a suggestion: Allow the post office to receive packages from express mail companies, and charge the recipient the small fee of $3.00 for the service.
We’d add to the thought: Have the post office accept those same packages for pickup by "General Delivery" customers. Rather than having to find someone else to act as the receiver, or having those packages held at the "closest" FED-UPS etc. terminal, the package could actually be close to home--wherever it is this week.

I have never had a problem having a package delivered by UPS or FedEx or even by any other package delivery service to a RV park, especially by informing the office that I was expecting a package. If I wasn't staying at a private CG, then DHL is an option as they do deliver to a PO.
