We had secure RR (Rural route)boxes installed at the entrance of our lower Puna subdivision. There is no annual cost, and if you meet the mail person there, you can mail packages and conduct other postal business without having to go to town.
The Post Office provided the original boxes at no charge (We put in a small slab to bolt them to).
From what I understand, RR customers are now responsible for paying for the secure boxes.(not the USPS) The cost however, is comparable to a box in town that has an annual rate..(Even cheaper if you figure in gas, time etc). As far as I know you own the box, and could sell it if you moved. If you have a neighborhood association, have them look into it. Hell, look into it for them!
