Renting a PO box for xmas info?

[toyboy88]

Hey all!

Friend from university is wondering if there are any other places in Calgary that you can rent a PO box for short term use (~2 months)...

She's from out of town, and just wants a more secure place to receive/hold Xmas gifts, mail, and stuff from friends and family back home.

She checked CanadaPost: minimum 3 months for $44 + $12 key deposit...mainly wondering if there are any other places that receive/hold mail/packages in town?

Thanks in advance.

UPS store, not 100% sure on the pricing I think it's $45/month but they for sure do month to month, $10 key deposit. They sign for all packages that arrive there so you don't need to go elsewhere to pick up and they hold all mail for you for up to 6 months.

I think Mailboxes are UPS stores now.

canadapost is fine, but they only accept regular mail items, (mail) no ups no fedex but canada post couriers they accept.

mbe/ups store is 4 times the price. they accept anything

^ My bad, I just hate UPS so much I was hoping to offer an alternative. Guess not, lol

She also wants to know if any of these places will receive a single parcel from shipment and hold it for you until pickup? And how much? She doesn't want to have it laying outside the door while she's at school...

Thanks again.
