Real street address
Use a professional Monroe street address (not a P.O. Box) for mail, packages, and many services that won’t accept a P.O. Box. Requirements vary by organization.
FedEx & UPS deliver here
Unlike a USPS P.O. Box, a private mailbox uses a street address, so FedEx/UPS and other carriers can deliver here in addition to USPS.
24/7 secure access
Grab mail on your schedule with keypad entry, interior lighting, and monitored access logs.
Monitored entry & logs
Cameras, package logs, and staff oversight mean porch pirates never see your deliveries.
Mailbox rental pricing & plans
Every plan includes monitored 24/7 access and package receiving for standard personal use. Higher monthly volume may require an upgraded plan or additional handling.
Reserve your plan here, then visit our Monroe store with two IDs to complete USPS Form 1583 and pick up your access information.

Serving Monroe, Snohomish, Sultan, and Gold Bar—easy in-and-out pickup when you need a reliable mailbox near you.
Will a private mailbox stop packages from being stolen from my porch?+
Yes. Every delivery is routed to our secure, monitored facility instead of your doorstep, eliminating the chance for porch pirates. Cameras, package logs, and staff oversight mean your deliveries are safe until you pick them up.
How much does a mailbox rental cost in Monroe, WA?+
Standard personal mailboxes start at $90 for 3 months ($30/mo). A 6-month term is $140, and the best value is the 12-month plan at $275 with 2 bonus months free — about $19.64/mo. Larger boxes and business plans are also available; call (360) 805-9250 for current availability.
What do I need to rent a mailbox?+
USPS requires Form 1583 and two forms of ID (one with a photo) to receive mail at a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency. You can complete the whole application online in about 10 minutes, then finish verification at the counter.
How quickly can I start?+
Most renters walk out with their mailbox key the same day. Bring your IDs and we will set everything up in about 10 minutes.
What's the difference between a private mailbox and a PO Box?+
A private mailbox gives you a real street address, so FedEx, UPS, Amazon, and DHL can deliver — carriers that cannot deliver to a USPS PO Box. A street address is also accepted in many situations where a PO Box is not, such as business registrations (requirements vary by agency).
Can FedEx, UPS, and Amazon deliver to my mailbox?+
Yes. Because your mailbox uses our street address at 19916 Old Owen Rd, every major carrier can deliver here — USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, and Amazon. We sign for packages and hold them securely until you pick them up.
Can I use the address for my business or LLC?+
Many customers use their mailbox address for business mail, invoices, and vendor shipments. Requirements for bank accounts and state registrations vary, so confirm with your bank or agency. Our business mailbox plans support multiple authorized users.
Can family members pick up, too?+
You can authorize family members and roommates. Each person receives their own access code for security.
When can I pick up my mail?+
Mailbox customers get 24/7 secure lobby access with a personal code, so you can pick up mail and letters any time. Package pickup at the counter is available during store hours: Mon–Fri 9 AM–6 PM, Sat 9 AM–2 PM.
Can you forward my mail while I am traveling?+
Yes. Choose when and where to forward—we can hold mail, forward weekly, or send urgent packages on demand.
Is there a limit on package size or quantity?+
Package size and quantity policies depend on your plan. Oversized packages are stored in secure lockers or held at the counter until you arrive, and higher monthly package volume may require an upgraded plan or additional handling.
Do you serve areas outside Monroe?+
Yes. Customers come from Sultan, Gold Bar, Duvall, Snohomish, Lake Stevens, Everett, and the Highway 2 corridor. We're a short drive from all of them, and mail forwarding is available if you travel or relocate.
