I've come to Toronto, and I don't have a place to live yet. I want to set up a post office box so that I have a mailing address in order to set up a cell phone account and so on. I have all my ID's and all that.\n\nWhat do I need in order to set up a postal box?

This is right from Canada Post website:\n\nA person or a firm wishing to receive postal box or bag service must complete a Request for Postal Box/General Delivery/Bag Service form (41-012-009) and pay the fee in advance for the rental period. In case the applicant is unknown to the postmaster, the applicant must supply satisfactory identification documents similar to those required when cashing Money Orders, or must provide proof of incorporation or registration with the province if the applicant is a corporation, unincorporated association or partnership, or uses the name of a firm.\n\nThe address of a postal box customer must be identified by the postal box number (a civic address may be used in conjunction with the postal box number). However, in the case where the applicant’s address is different on mail for each service and the appropriate fees have been paid, an applicant may be given more than one postal box or bag service, or both a postal box and bag service depending on the availability of the service.\n\nIn the case of convenience box rentals, only four individuals, four families or two businesses (or a combination of two family names and two businesses) can use a postal box. The medium, large and X-large postal box sizes are recommended for business use.

I'm not sure why your mom said you couldn't take it with you when you moved. Of course, one would have to be left in its place.\n\nYou might want to do the same thing. \n\nApproach the people who live there (or the owners if they live elsewhere) and see if, by replacing the mail box with a new one, you might have the one your grandfather made. I really don't see why someone would object to a simple and reasonable request like this.\n\n\nGood Luck.

call your local post office, post office general and ask to speak to the carrier's route manager. tell them your address and say you would like the name.

You have to go to the nearest local Post Office and apply for a box.   If one is available, you will get it right away...but be prepared to pay.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.\nAll I do know is that you have to have a registered home address or place of buisness registered here.\n\nI'm in Toronto. Ontario

You can use different "identities".  Each Identity will have it's own inbox etc.\n\nOpen Outlook Express, go to File --> Identities --> Add New Identity.\n\nYou will need the address, Incoming, and Outgoing servers.  Basically all of the stuff you needed to set up your first account.

Why can't you do Ebay? It's perfect for the homebound. Anyway, you could put up your own website, it's free at Tripod.com or lots of other places. List your cards with photos, and if anyone Googles for that card, they might find your site. Sign up with Paypal if you want them to be able to pay online or with a credit card. the problem is that without a 3rd party like Ebay, they may not trust to do business with you because they don't know you.\n\nIf you're homebound, go to usps.com and order free Priority Mail boxes or envelopes. You can do your postage online with a debit card, and then your mail carrier will pick them up.

A lot of planning departments put applications online.   A good idea is to browse them, then look at the objections written by professionals.\n\nRule no. 1 is stick to the points you ARE allowed to object on.   There will be literature explaining those, and there are a great many of them.   Couldn't say what grounds would apply here; it depends partly on what you want - to keep the post office or avoid the takeaway?   \n\nInstinct says that objecting to a planning application on the grounds that you want to keep your post office won't work - the planning system is not in charge of Royal Mail, and it is to them that you need to take your concern.   \n\nIf the takeaway is going to have late night strippers, bouncers and fights outside it, you could object on those grounds.   Again, instinct says that unless you can demonstrate that the problem will be serious (and a takeaway does sound fairly innocuous from this distance) you won't win.

try the post office. or some shops may accept them. As long as the money order does not have not negotioble across it. it should be ok. The post office is your best bet though, or try a bank if they ask for ID.

I usually store names,phone #,address,and each order from first to last.Depending on your type of business you will need different tools.I use Diamond Touch POS by Rocklin Technologies , located in Texas.This program has everything -from great customer database to very effective labor/food cost control.I very strongly recommend checking into it.I do not know if it will help you , but purchase a copy of Pizza Today at any bookstore and you will find numerous ads any sort of program you may need.Even if they do not advertise exactly what you are looking for, you may still contact the company to find what they offer for your particular sector.

call the post office.

You used to be able to by simply having a U.S. address, which can be something as simple as a post office box in any town, which costs maybe a hundred bucks a year, give or take depending on the town. One of my customers in Sweden used to do this to make it easier to pay American suppliers for his business. Since 9/11 and all the changes and crackdowns in this country, though, I don't know if it's still that simple. Also, you might have to make one trip to "the states" to fill out the forms in person at both the post office and the bank. I know that he did and I can't think that you could do it otherwise.

I'd get a PO Box and use that as your address. You could even use a mail forwarding service in a different town and have them forward the mail to you or to another PO Box. I know people who move a lot use a mail forwarding service (most are single and in the service), that way they don't have to keep updating their address, the only have to tell the forwarding company what their new address is.\n\nIf you use a PO Box as your address you should be able to vote using that as your official address, they might want to know where you live, but your address would be the PO Box. \n\nIf you are really concerned don't vote. \n\nI would also use two disposable cell phones, use one number for work only and the number you give to people you know and trust. That way if he gets one you can quick change your number with a new one.\n\nI would try to get your mom to change her number also. \n\nI don't want to scare you, but with your SSN if he really wants to find you he can. So you'll have to look over your shoulder. A court order won't stop him, but at least you can get him arrested if he does find you.\n\nWishing you lot of luck.\n\n\nEDIT \n\nSorry didn't see the part about the fixed income, if you have someone you trust to send you your mail, you could use their address. At least that way if he goes there looking for you, you would have some warning. Assuming he's not stupid crazy and would kill them.\n\nTalk to a woman's shelter and see if there is any legal aid, the women shelter should be able to point you in the right direction.\n\nWish you well.

I've found that each area post office seems to run on differant rules.  \n\nGenerally, the only way that an individual can get a PO Box by proving they have a legal reason to obtain it.  This would mainly be due to process service.  I have a couple of local Post Office supervisors who will give me the info just by showing them the court papers.\n\nHowever, others would not turn it over unless it was to an attorney or deputy sheriff.  Still others will not do it without an actually subpeona.  \n\nSo, first ask the post office where the box is located what they require.  If this is in conjunction to identity theft, contact a police and give them the info.  They would have a simple job of getting the info.  \n\nWhere I am at, most of the private detectives are also deputy sheriffs, and for a few bucks they will get it for you.  \n\nThe link below may help, bit there is some wrong info in it.   Use it as a guide.
