| Caveats: |
| |
| * Call or look online first to see if the PO in question accepts General Delivery. Some places with multiple POs only accept Gen. Delivery at one location. |
| * UPS/FedEx/etc //might// deliver to the USPS if the post office's street address is included. This is highly variable and depends on local relationships between the entities. |
| * tracking may not be complete -- general delivery shipments may show "out for delivery" in the post office's city as the last step until acually picked up. |
