Does anyone know off hand, if a consultant can have a PO box? I'm moving to a new apartment without a doorman and I don't want the items sitting out all day?

Thanks
 
No - Fed-EX doesn't deliver to PO boxes. It has to be a street address. You can have packages delivered to a work address or alternate address though.
 
!Yes, a consultant can have a PO box. Many consultants use a PO box for their business mail to keep their personal and business mail separate. If you are concerned about the safety of your packages, a PO box is a good option to ensure they are secure until you can pick them up. However, be sure to check with your specific company's policies and guidelines to ensure it is allowed.
