Post Office boxes are provided by the U.S. Postal Service as an alternative way to receive mail. By using a P.O. box instead of a home address, you have increased privacy and security. People who use P.O. boxes usually receive mail at a faster pace than those who have mail delivered to a home address. Although it can be difficult to find the home address of a particular P.O. box owner, there are some online search engines that can attempt to locate the owner's address. A private investigator is another option to find a P.O. box owner's address.
