Publish home address or get a PO Box?

Sep 20, 2007 10:42

I need to have students mail things directly to me monthly. That basically means publishing my home address. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that, so I'm thinking that a PO Box of some sort is in order.

Some other factors:
There's also a Postal Annex nearby that has mailboxes. Those costs are definitely higher, but it does accept FedEx and UPS which the post office doesn't. It's also a very convenient walk (whereas the post office is still walkable but it's a more significant excursion).

Mostly, I'd just get individual sheets of paper from the students via USPS. The mentors (adults) will be sending large packets of about 20 pgs per student, possibly via FedEx. No idea if they'll send them for individuals or as a massive packet of like 600 pgs. This is a problem in deciding the size of box to get or where to get it.

So I decided this might be a good time for a poll!
