PO Box or Postal Annex?

I'm debating about using a second address for my deliveries. I have a lot of foot traffic in front of my place and I'm afraid someone might take docs left at my door. I've left a note for UPS/FedEx to ring my doorbell, but no luck. Any thougts if using a PO Box would hinder my business?

Federal Express, UPS and Airborne Express do not deliver to PO Boxes.

I get deliveries to my local post office. I live in a small town in the mountains. UPS and FED Ex both take my letter packages to the post office. The clerk puts a couter pick up slip in my PO box.

Postal annex is a PMB not a PO

PO stands for Post Office, only used for the United States Postal Service. All mailbox stores, like Postal Annex and THe UPS Stores are PMB (personal or Private mail box) with a street address. They are perfect for what you want it for. Your address would be whatever the street address for the store is plus the box # given to you. Great for keeping your business address separate from your personal. Chances are you are going there everyday anyway and business usually have a higher priority for delivery than residential addresses. UPS, Fed ex, DHL will not deliver to the Post Office, really rural areas are an exception not a rule.
