Package Acceptance from All Carriers
We sign for and accept packages from FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, Amazon, OnTrac, LaserShip, and any other carrier. No more missed deliveries because you weren't home.
Items are logged into our system on arrival and stored in our locked back room until you pick them up. Bring your photo ID for pickup.
Secure Package Holding
Packages are held in our secure back room, not left in your mailbox or on a porch. Two-lock security: our front door plus your individual mailbox.
No porch pirates, no weather damage, no lost packages. We hold packages as long as needed during your active mailbox term.
Real Street Address
Use 25248 Pacific Hwy S, Suite 101 #YourBoxNumber, Kent WA 98032 as your address — not a "PO Box ###" that some banks, states, and online retailers reject.
Perfect for LLC registration, business banking, vendor invoices, online retailer accounts (Amazon, eBay, Etsy), and anywhere a real street address is required or preferred.
Email Notifications on Arrival
Get an automatic email alert when mail or a package arrives. Skip wasted trips to check your box.
Notifications include the carrier and a brief description, so you know exactly what's waiting for you. Especially useful for travelers and busy business owners.
Mail Forwarding Service
Traveling? Moving temporarily? We can forward your mail anywhere in the U.S. on request — weekly, biweekly, or on demand.
Forwarding fees vary depending on volume and frequency. Ask in-store or call (253) 686-8776 for current rates and to set up a schedule.
Up to 3 Names on the Box
Add up to 2 additional family members or business partners to your mailbox at no extra charge — total of 3 authorized recipients per box.
Each authorized name must be listed on the USPS Form 1583 at signup. Adding names later requires updating the 1583, which we'll handle for you in-store.
How to Rent a Private Mailbox in Kent
Same-day setup. Bring two forms of ID and we'll handle the rest — including free notarization of your USPS Form 1583.
Step 1 — Pick your size and term
Choose Personal ($25/mo), Small Business ($30/mo), or Bigger Business ($35/mo). Pay for 3, 6, or 12 months — longer terms get a discount.
Step 2 — Bring two forms of ID
USPS requires one government photo ID (driver's license or passport) plus one address verification (utility bill, lease, or insurance card). Both must show your current address.
Step 3 — Sign USPS Form 1583
This federal form authorizes us to receive your mail. We'll fill it out with you and notarize it for free with your rental — saves you a separate notary trip.
Step 4 — Get your mailbox number
You leave with your assigned mailbox number and key the same day. Your real street address (25248 Pacific Hwy S, #___, Kent WA 98032) is ready immediately. FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, and Amazon packages can start arriving today.

Why rent a mailbox here instead of getting a PO Box?
Two big reasons: you get a real street address (which banks, the state of Washington, and most online retailers prefer) and we accept packages from every carrier — FedEx, UPS, DHL, Amazon, USPS — not just USPS like a PO Box.
What do I need to set up a mailbox?
Three things: (1) Two forms of ID, one with a photo (driver's license, passport, state ID, military ID); (2) A completed and notarized USPS Form 1583 — we notarize it for free in-store; (3) Payment for your first term (minimum 3 months).
What is USPS Form 1583 and why do I need it?
Form 1583 is the federal Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent — required by the USPS for any commercial mail receiving agent (CMRA) to receive mail on your behalf. We notarize it for you in-store at no extra charge when you set up your box.
Can I receive packages from Amazon, FedEx, UPS at my mailbox?
Yes — that's one of the biggest advantages. We accept and sign for packages from every major carrier and hold them securely until you pick them up. You'll get an email when something arrives.

Yes. Many small businesses use a private mailbox as their official business address for LLC registration, banking, vendor invoices, and online listings. Format: Your Name, 25248 Pacific Hwy S, Suite 101 #YourBoxNumber, Kent WA 98032.
