Mailbox Rental FAQs

Everything you need to know about renting a private mailbox at our Del Mar location.

Frequently Asked

Your mailbox questions, answered

Still have a question? Call (858) 350-1275 and we'll help you out.

How do I set up a private mailbox?+

To set up your private mailbox rental for business or individual use, you can either call in or stop by to work with a qualified staff member. If you call in, you'll need to get the mailbox rental agreement notarized. See our location details or contact us directly during business hours at (858) 350-1275.

Is a security deposit required to set up a private mailbox?+

No, we do not require a security deposit. There is a one-time setup fee of $20.

What does my mailing address look like?+

Our private mailboxes give you a real physical street address rather than a PO Box number. Having a physical street address with no corresponding PO Box number looks more professional for businesses while eliminating exposure of your personal home address. For example, your address would be listed as: Business or Individual's Name, 123 Main Street #4567, City, State, Postal/Zip.

Will I be notified when I receive mail or packages?+

You'll be notified by both text and email when packages are received. For general mail, you can call in to check what's arrived anytime during business hours.

Can I forward mail from my private mailbox?+

Absolutely — you'll only be required to pay the cost to mail those items. Visiting the location to set this up is optional; it can be arranged over the phone.

If I forward mail, can you consolidate mail to save money?+

Of course.

How many names can I have on my mailbox?+

There's no limit to how many business names, aliases, or additional names (including people not directly related to the mailbox) you can have. A USPS Form 1583 needs to be filled out and submitted for each individual who wants their name on the mail — though this isn't required just to pick up mail.

Can I trust Postal Annex with my mail?+

Absolutely — we're trusted by the community, and our location has been in business for over 20 years.

If I rent a small mailbox, can I still receive large packages?+

Yes. No matter what size mailbox you rent, package receiving is included with no additional fees, for UPS, DHL, FedEx, and USPS.

What carriers do you work with?+

UPS, DHL, FedEx, and USPS.
