The Hilo airport (main) Post Office normally does have boxes with very little wait. When we moved 2 years ago, no post office would allow you to get a box without residency (security stuff). However, we forwarded our mail to:
'-recipients name-'
'General Delivery'
'Hilo, HI 96720'
If you use a mail service, there are some limitations with forwarding.
The rules of establishing PO boxes may have changed, just check with your local post office.
On island, there are many people that permanently get their mail at 'General Delivery' It is also easy to then forward to a PO Box (when you get one) or a street address (yes there are some areas with home delivery)
General delivery takes some time, as you get your mail at the counter, but we met a lot of people, some of whom became friends, in the mail line....heck these are your new neighbors!
If you want General Delivery at another Post Office in Puna, the zip codes are:
Keaau - 96749
Mountain View - 96771
Pahoa - 96778
Volcano - 96785
