Depends on location. Suburban ones are generally cheaper than CBD. Best way to find out is to check with a local Post Office. Also, ask about availability - some have free boxes regularly, others will have waiting lists.

PO boxes are excellent. No more worrying about packages being posted to the neighbours (or them signing for it :rolleyes: ). Mine is about $70 annually, I forget the exact amount. Plus the ladies at the counter know me as a regular now and put my packages aside, even ones carded for my street address :D

Yea, what he said above. About that per year, and yea, I also get my regular mail put into the po box too. They know me very well. :)

I know that people often use PO Boxes to get TFs sent to them, but this doesn't appear to be a really TF-related thread. Should it be moved to the non-TF section?

I think it bears enough relevance to collecting to stay where it is.

ditto :)

IMO, P.O. Boxes = well worth the $70 per year ;)

I should probably get one of these. My Mum is really starting to get angry when I get stuff.

And also confirm the hours you can collect stuff from them. I'm in the unfortunate circumstance that I can only collect from PO Box from 7:30am to 9:30am Mon to Fri.
