Mail drop address San Francisco

Post by Doktor_Catu » Sun Apr 02, 2017 2:45 pm

Hello Veterans!

Coming from Brazil and planning to buy most of supplies online to maximize tourism time on San Francisco (1st time on West Coast). Problem is, I have no address to drop my stuff.

By any chance do you know any service that can be hired online like a mailbox / storage? I would get it for 1 or 2 months and drop camping gear and clothes there, mostly.

Thank you for your help!

ship to a "UPS Store"
Typically they charge $5 a package to pickup.

(this is not USPS)
There are UPS Stores all over the States.

See both of these posts:

Shipping to Reno, I prefer the North-West store, 10580 N MCCARRAN BLVD. They've added a note to their site: "Burners! We will be open 9:30-5:30 on Labor Day!!", so safe to say they're still Burner friendly.

Do check online to ensure a UPS Store you intend to use is still listed or hasn't moved.
Do note the days & hours they are open, so you know when you can pickup your packages on your way to the playa.
