Hi, Coz.
We faced the same problem in Volcano.
For companies that would not accept just "General Delivery" we gave them our address with both our street address and general delivery:
Joe Smith
19-1111 6th Street
General Delivery
Volcano, HI 96785
The post office reads from the bottom up, so you receive your mail in general delivery. The company is happy because they have a street address.
Also, we found that after the postal employees got to know us our post office kept things as general delivery even if the mail just had our street address. I went in every day to make sure they knew who I was and they have been very accomodating.
