A staffed place to receive
Eligible mail and packages arrive at a neighborhood business where the team can receive and hold them under the store’s current policies.
Separate home from business
A dedicated mailing address can keep your home address off routine business correspondence and give a small business a consistent place to receive mail.

Common questions
Good to know before you visit.
Is a private mailbox the same as a P.O. Box?
No. A private mailbox is provided by a commercial mail receiving agency and uses the business’s street address plus your PMB or # identifier. It should not be described as a residential address.
What identification is required?
USPS requires two forms of identification when applying for a private mailbox, including one photo ID. Call ahead if you are unsure whether your documents qualify.
Can I receive packages from different carriers?
Yes, the store can receive eligible packages from multiple carriers addressed correctly to your PMB. Ask about current package-size limits, pickup policies, and any additional fees before expecting oversized or unusual deliveries.
How should my private mailbox address be written?
Use the Tracy Mail & More street address followed by your assigned PMB number or # identifier exactly as the team provides it. USPS does not permit a private mailbox to be written as a P.O. Box.
Why use one for a small business?
A private mailbox can provide a consistent business mailing address, keep routine correspondence separate from home mail, and receive eligible packages from multiple carriers. It is a mailing address—not a residential address or a substitute for every licensing requirement.
Can another person receive or pick up my mail?
Only properly authorized recipients should access a mailbox or its items. Ask the store what identification, paperwork, and account changes are required before adding another person.
Does the store forward mail or send notifications?
Availability, pricing, and policies for forwarding, notifications, extended access, and other add-ons can change. Call the store to confirm which options are currently offered before relying on them.
