Just a few quick questions :)

I have a medium sized flat rate box, probably somewhere between 5-8 pounds. I'm shipping it from the US to Canada, I was going to just use standard mail, USPS. Maybe express, takes 3-5 days or something. I was going to ship it to the 2 Robert Speck Parkway address, but is it possible to ship such a large package to a PO Box? Is it reliable? Have you done this before?

Thanks for the comments, almost ready!

If a package won't fit in the box then they will probably be notified to pick it up from a Canada Post office. I'd think the "box" for this government office would be pretty large tho.. if it's not just a giant mail bin that gets delivered by truck daily or something.

Thanks! So far I haven't had too much trouble with Canada Post, so I hope that keeps up... I guess I'll mail it to the PO Box then.

I mailed my package to the P.O. Box # through Canada Post with 2-3 day delivery and signature required.

It arrived and was signed for the next day. I was able to print the tracking and signature with no problem.

I mailed mine to the courier address with canada post with signature confirmation. I think it is the best address to use. I am not sure if anyone actually signs for packages at the P.O. Box. The size of the package should not matter. Hope this helps
