> It depends on where you live, I am in one of the cities around lake tahoe. USPS here doesn't deliver mail to your residence, however UPS/Fedex deliver just fine. Instead everyone in town rents a USPS PO box, to which USPS delivers and everyone goes to the Post office to collect their mail from their PO boxes.

Do you have to pay for the box? I was under the impression that the USPS was legally obligated to deliver mail to your residence. I wouldn't expect to pay for their shortcoming.
