You can do a UPS pickup; they come to your door. You can leave the package in the mailroom at work for free. You can drop it off in a random UPS store by walking in, making eye contact with the clerk, then setting it down on the counter. It's a 3 minute process to rebox, particularly if you have a tape gun from the last time you moved (seriously, buy one of these!) http://www.amazon.com/Duck-Standard-Includes-54-Yard-669332/... (amazon link, natch :D)

or you can spend 40-60 minutes driving to best buy or some other store. Even if the drive is 10 minutes each way, that's how long it costs from the time I touch my car keys to the time I'm back in my house -- walk to the parking lot, drive, park, walk, counter, stand in line, reverse the process.
