			<description><![CDATA["Packages delivered by private carriers accepted with “street addressing”<br>The USPS will not only receive letter mail and packages sent through the postal service that are street addressed to the p.o. box, but it will also receive packages delivered by private carriers such as UPS and FedEx that are street addressed.  Now you don’t have to plan your workday around package deliveries.  The post office will receive them for you and put them in a secure lockbox if one is available.  The key to the lockbox is placed in your p.o. box, so you can pick up the package at any time.  Otherwise, you can pick it up at the service window during business hours, which may mean waiting in line (not an advantage)."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have used a PO Box for over 30 years, EXACTLY because it is a more secure delivery point than a roadside box. That a company will not deliver an important or costly item such as a piece of electronic gear like an iPhone to a PO Box makes me very untrusting of that company. I want my mail with PII (personally identifiable information) or my packages in the Post Office until I go and pick them up. I believe that to be a wise and secure choice.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[OTOH, shipping to a private mailbox such as Mailboxes Etc. or UPS is no problem, provided "PO Box" does not appear in address. It's a crime (really!) to modify this for a USPS mailbox, but okay for private addresses.]]></description>
