We have found that it is about a 50/50 mix as to which USPS PO would accept Geneal Delivery from UPS or FEDEX.

We consider bathroom and refrigerator access a bare minimum when looking for a new rig.

Thanks

Has rvnotepad.com gone out of business? All I get is "website coming soon". I am on a PC/W10. I had wanted try it to see if it meets our needs.

It is just a challenge. Especially if you want a package to be waiting for you. If UPS won't deliver to anything that doesn't have a street address I really doubt they would deliver to GPS coordinates. This would solve all problem.

Stores don't carry much. Printer Ink, new cord for a computer, parts for the RV. Dutch, general Delivery only works if it initiated via USPS. We won't have a physical address for any length of time until November when we are back in winter quarters.

Still the same problem. I don't have a street address.

Everything is much easier if you are in a campground but we have been boondocking, NPS, NFS or BLM for the 2 months. Heading for Alaska so that type of camping will continue for the next 3-4 months.

In theory. I have not tested this yet. Heading into Canada so probably won't for 4-6 weeks. I talked to a CSR she offered this to me, she didn't sound too secure in her knowledge so I asked to talk to her supervisor. He entered into my profile that I wanted USPS primary and UPS secondary. I can live with this if it works. If this works please post.

For us it is the convenience. If I could control delivery better I could plan ahead. I usually like to order a week ahead or so with delivery to a small town. When I am in a city there is less of a problem. Small towns don't carry much. I needed ink in a town for my printer(I thought I had a spare), no one carried ink for printers. Rather than chasing around and wasting time it is easier to order and have it delivered. Amazon pretty much is 2 days or less. I find Walmart is all over the place from 2 days to a week(even though it says 2 day pickup) and I have to plan on a Walmart stop which may or may not be along our route.

UPS only does that for packages where they are under contract with someone(Amazon). Even with Amazon, they will not deliver is there is no street address and even if you put in a street address many USPS do not accept UPS packages addressed to General Delivery.

I have it set up as USPS first, UPS second. I'll try it send see how it goes. Amazon did say that not everything can be sent USPS but I don't think anything we order has a problem. He did say that a lot of people ask for this option and I asked him to pass the request on. I also asked if I could specified USPS in the "special instructions" , he didn't think that would work.

We like smaller towns also. Our surprise was that UPS took the packages since they did not have a street address on them and according to their website all packages must have a street address. Trying to talk to UPS 800 number is a challenge, both times I called I had someone who spoke poor English.

You were lucky. We are in West Glacier and the nearest UPS(where are packages were being held) is in Kalispell, 90 miles away. There may have been a UPS store closer but UPS didn't mention any to me and since I didn't have internet I couldn't look anything up.

These are solutions that work if you have a UPS or Fedex where you are going. But what if you don't? Your only choice is USPS. Amazon lockers are only in big cities, no place where we go. I am looking for solutions for when you are on the road(6-8 months of the year), not stationary.

That's interesting. My doctor told me just to let him know when I wanted each knee replaced, my call. I told him one week that I was ready to go and had the knee replaced 2 weeks later. No hassle from anyone. Same thing with the second knee. I had the same experience with cataract surgery, just let him know when and it is scheduled

There are several ways to get packages when on the road: General Delivery to the local post office See if the future campground will accept packages(or some other establishment) I read that UPS and FEDEX would not accept packages if there was no street address. I thought great, I can send my Amazon packages to General Deliver with no street address and it will go via USPS. No such luck, UPS still picked it up and of course it was undeliverable with no street address. Even if I had a street address who knows if the PO would accept it. I did call the PO I was sending my packages to and they would accept General Delivery. After I redirected the packages to the local UPS center I went to get them, no problem. This worked out OK since we were in the city where the office was. I thought possibly I could have a package with an address of a UPS store. Apparently not, a UPS store will hold your package after a non-delivery. But then, who knows if a UPS store will be convenient. Forget Amazon lockers, they are non-existent outside of big cities. I called Amazon and managed to get transferred to a supervisor. He told me he could fill out a form(proxy?) saying I want my packages to go to USPS as the first choice, and UPS as the second choice. I need to test this but we are heading into Canada so it will be a while before testing. I hope this helps those who didn't know any of this.

Maybe Bear Spray?

We emailed ours in.

Around 7 weeks............ I sent it on 4/19

Just received an email back switching us to a Mobile account and continuing our service. Sigh of relief!!!

And don't use caps, that means you are yelling.

UtahPam-Capitals indicate you are yelling!!!!!

Driving down the rod today we saw a Rockwood(?) Geopro. Along the lines of a Casita but squared off like a regular trailer. Small like a Casita. FYI

We are on East Coast plan. Got notice.
