OK, I was in the Post Office the other day mailing some catalogs and wearing my PC shirt. A girl that came in to get her mail stopped me and asked me if I sold it. I said yes. She said she needed some things and already had her list made out but didn't want to order over the internet. She wanted to know if I had a catalog. I said no (mistake #1). I told her I would be glad to get her address and mail her one. I wrote her name and address on a piece of paper which I guess I ended up throwing away!! I remember her name, and she has a PO Box, so I'm wondering if I can just have them put it in her box for me (and pay the shipping charge of course). Anyone know if they will do this?
 
Um, you could call the po to see. My dad works there but he's not at home right now to ask. good luck.
 
Yes, without her PO box number you may have to ask someone at the PO to help you. Show them what you are sending and have an envelope all set up. You mail still have to "mail" it. Tell them that you wouldn't even mind if they didn't show you the PO box number if they would help you. That way they aren't giving out private information. You may have pour it on to get their help because I think you are asking for more than they could probably normally give out.

Who knows you may get business from the PO as well.
