They deliver to a PO BOX, but you pay for that service, it's a distinct mailing address for your use.
They don't however fallback to the local post office when undeliverable, which is the point here.
I've lived in very rural small towns in California, and it required developing a personal relationship with the post office staff/postmaster and UPS driver to have undeliverable packages left at the local post office. The post office employees were technically bending the rules for me. But we had so few local residents it wasn't a significant problem.

- newnewpdro 7y agoCan you provide a URL to anything describing this as a formally supported process? It's inconsistent with my experience. I've had rural USPS staff become accepting of my non-USPS delivered packages as a personal favor, but never any sort of formalized process. The formal path is the $78/yr PO BOX, otherwise they're oftentimes downright hostile towards accepting non-USPS deliveries freely for randoms. Are you just referring to USPS-deliveries? That's different, since postage is being paid.
