Despite the development of high technology, people continue to use regular mail: sent a parcel of books or any other items you cannot send via the Internet, important documents also have to send in printed form, and the usual letters and greeting cards are far from outdated. All this is going in the mailbox, which can be uncomfortable and very unreliable. There is an alternative – a post office box. What it is, why you need it and how to use it?
What is a p. O. box and how it differs from a normal
P. O. box – this is a special sealed box, which is designed for incoming correspondence. Unlike a regular mailbox, it is not in actual or legal place of residence of the addressee, and the post office. Therefore, on letters, postcards and parcels sent to this mailbox, specify only the index, the city and the mailbox number, so the destination may remain a mystery.
Post office box looks almost the same as normal, which is a metal box with cells, each of which has its own room. The cell is like the mailbox in the stairwell, closed on the lock, which fits only one key.
All correspondence that comes to a po box, remains in the post office, so this box is highly reliable: no bullies will not set him on fire and you're gonna get from him some important letter. On the other hand, to access it is not necessary to defend a long line, to produce documents or to fill in the blanks: it is enough to visit the post office during working hours, to open the box with his key and pick up all that it has accumulated.
How to use a p. O. box
First, you need to choose the post office, which is located in the most convenient location and is open at the right time. First, the prospective customer writes an application, then fills in the contract with its own individual number, which will later become the number of his box, and the post office register p. O. box. Russian post provides this service for a fee, in contrast to, for example, from the mail in Switzerland or Germany. Therefore, after registration of all necessary documents to pay a certain amount. And a few days to finally certified contract and the key from the box.
But not so simple. This service is quite popular. And find a free box at the right the post office is not always possible. In such cases, it is possible to rent a p. O. box: post of Russia permitted such a possibility. A happy owner of your own box, you need to inform the party concerned of his room, to create and sign a lease and receive payment. Tenants can be even several, and then the owner of the box allocates to each of them the additional number and sorts all incoming correspondence in accordance with them.
