UPS stores (and many others) offer mailboxes, similar to PO boxes. Unlike PO boxes, they will accept packages from other shippers as well as USPS. Also, they’ll only put mail in your box if it is addressed to you specifically. No bulk mail or “Current Resident” bullshit.

turtlesareneat@discuss.online 3 days agoUnfortunately there are systems that will reject PO boxes - credit applications, mortgage and loan applications. It’s increasing and I think they’re catching wind that nomads do it, so they challenge for a “physical address” which of course must match your credit file. This is a nice way to shit on people who are trying to get out of transitional housing too, since they can easily spot group homes and halfway houses.

Sigh, I was worried they’d be getting targeted.
I wish I had more to add. But I’m just tired.
