Is there any requirement to live in the postal zone prior to applying for the box? Or do you only need to show a local physical address when you finally get the box?
Curious because I currently live in Hilo and in a month I won't have an address! Which is scary. (I'll be in a sublet in Puna)
I guess I should go rent a mailbox. Is Hilo the only option for a private mailbox service?
Kathy, I don't recall the requirements about residency for a box application. You should be able to find out from the PO. You could file a change of address at the Hilo PO to forward to General Delivery at Kea'au or Pahoa to take care of interim mail.
There's a mail box service in Pahoa between the Sirius and Black Rock cafes. I don't know if they have anything available. It's odd that he hasn't posted anything on this thread. Business must be doing better and he's too busy to check the forum.
