As far as I know DLH is the only shipping service that will deliver
to a PO Box. They seem to have some kind of deal with the PO, every
so often I see one of their vans parked outside my local PO.
Yes. You can ship via DHL from a Post Office.
Not only can UPS, Fedex, etc., not deliver to a PO box, it is
actually illegal for them to put envelopes/packages into your
mailbox. You buy the mailbox and put it up, but technically it is
USPS property.
We ran into all of this some time ago when postal rates were going
through the roof and we explored sending magazines to subscribers via
UPS or some other courier. The magazine industry even looked into
starting their own courier service just to handle magazines. But
this was dropped when it turned out that customers would have to put
up a separate mailbox just for their magazines!
