Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Even where there is an efficient 'door – to – door' delivery system, there are additional advantages in using Post Office (PO) boxes. There are certain conveniences for using PO boxes.
PO boxes allow mail to be pick up when sorted, rather than when it is delivered to the physical address, which will be hours later.
A mail user who regularly receives large parcels or items that must be signed for may find it convenient to pick up the rest of the mail at the same time.
A mail user who moves frequently can keep a mailing address.
A mail user may desire a more famous or prestigious address. For example, in Washington, D.C., many large P.O. box facilities are located near or even outside city limits.
A business receiving large volumes of mail may maintain separate post office boxes for separate departments, such as one for sales, one for customer service, to reduce the need to sort internally.
PO boxes are more secure than many home mailboxes, preventing mail theft and identity theft.
If you live on a boat, PO boxes can serve as your address, but are not necessary.
