Mailing and living addresses...

[nyankoframe]

I have and don't have an address. :P

I just found out where my temporary corporate housing complex is, and where to collect my keys from. But it's only temporary, and so I don't have any permanent address as yet...

A question for all the people living in the US: Should I apply for a P.O. Box (and keep it even after I find a place to stay after 2 months), and if so, how soon? And how much does it cost (one-time plus per month)?

You may want to get a P.O. Box, but... I can't really help you with it because I'm clueless ^^;;

Thank you anyway~ ^^

Yeah, even the apartment complex people suggested I get one since my stay is going to be temporary.

Here is information about renting a PO Box in the US. From their chart, they only show how much rentals are for a 6-month term, but they range from $9 to $37 depending on where you live. (I'm assuming you only want to get a small box for mail, not a large one for packages.)

I've never had a P.O. box even though I've been moving around a bit for the past year or so. I think there are lots of restrictions in a P.O. box (most merchants probably won't send items to one). Well, if you're just receiving letters and bills :p then I guess that's fine. :)

I wouldn't bother, unless you have a particular reason to be interested in one (e.g. expecting a lot of fan mail?). Anything important--bills and the like--will make it easy for you to change your address when necessary, and you can have the post office forward any mail with your name on it to your new address after a move.
