Getting two P.O. boxes with one in one city and one in another?

I just recently moved to a city that's a couple hours away from the one I used to live and that's where my first one was at that I've had for almost two years now. I keep it open so one of my boys can get packages but now that I'm in a new city I'd like to open one for myself because I can't get packages sent to my apartment (no front office or mail box to leave at). Is it too hotboy?

great question when I got mine they used USPS computer so thinking they cross check but no idea.

Anybody got two PO's same name?

So you're gonna leave a Po box open in your name so your "boy" can receive packages at will. That is beyond stupid

I wouldn't think opening two po boxes is very strange, imo. Maybe you just keep your mail organized.

Do they have a database of boxes and names that they can cross reference?

They're definitely gonna see your name pop up when you register for one in the new city. since you have a new address you should be able to open another box. However they will see and ask why you have one open in another city? So what you need to do ( if you can) is go to your original Post office and request to add a name on the list of people allowed to pick up from that box.

Then you can say its for you're friend or whoever you put on the list. I just spent 10 minutes looking it up and it says you can have up to 5 boxes in one location. but I couldn't find any other info so that^ is my best guess... best wishes

I can't imagine it won't raise some sort of flag, routine or not, there's no point in doing something that requires anyone in the post office to even think about your PO box.

Leave the one you have as is. Open a UPS store PO box in your new location if you need a drop, they don't don't go through as rigorous ID verification and you get an actual street address vs a PO number.
