Can Canadians get a P.O. box in the USA?

Question

I live in Canada about an hour drive from the U.S. border. Because many U.S. websites won't ship to Canada (or the shipping cost is outrageous), I've often thought of getting a U.S. post office box to ship packages to. Do you know if a Canadian can rent a P.O. box, or do you have to have a U.S. address and ID to do it?

Answer 1

You must have local address and 2 pieces of i.d. to get a P.o. Box,  

Answer 2

according to this site, it looks like u will need a physical address and 2 forms of US IDs in order to get a USPS PO BOX. But I know there are other mail snailing or mailbox services out there who may let you do it.

btw, this may look like a kiddy corner, but I have gotten valuable information on this place, despite lots of hateful remarks, even stupid ones as well... still as a whole, this thing works way better than any 411 number u can dial or any know-it-all friend u may have to ask ur weird questions from!

mind + mind + mind + mind + 100 x stupid/rude minds... there u get 4 rational helpful opinions out of 104, better than 0 (or technically 1 brain) when u filter out the useless 100 comments!

Answer 4

Call up the USPS (United States Postal Service) and ask. Don't rely on the kiddy-corner here for anything useful.
