I don't but have seriously considered it.   With the new TRID guidelines and time limits, I am there almost daily mailing priority packages to my clients for signatures.

It's only a short walk from my office and with prettier weather, it would give me an excuse to get outside and get a little exercise in during my lunch break.   That could be a good thing.

I may go ahead and follow through on getting one after reading your post.

I do, but for security purposes.  Since I work out of my house and have rental properties, my BRE registered address is the PO box.  I also send mail from certain organizations I belong to there, so if they get compromised the hackers have only a PO box.

Yes. In Carmel-by-the-Sea the post office does not deliver to addresses. In fact, we have no addresses! Although there is a private contractor who delivers mail to a few in town, mostly those who can't make it to the post office.

So if Google wants to find my office address, where does it look?

"Dolores between 5th & 6th." Google was confused, to say the least, so I called them to put the "x" into a specific place:

"6 NW of 6th on Dolores"

At least I THINK it is the 6th building on Dolores, and on the north west side from the corner of 6th Avenue.

    Yes... but not for the reasons you mention in your blog. 

     I have 2 mailboxes because

(1)  They are a tax deduction. 

(2)  Less chance of mail getting mis-delivered.

(3)  Mail is more secure in a Post Office than a mailbox on the street.
