About
A Post Office Box (PO Box) is the most popular solution for general use. Choose from a range of PO Box sizes and lease durations to suit your needs. And it’s not just for letters – it works for parcels delivered by Australia Post and StarTrack too. A post box (British English; also written postbox; also known as pillar box), also known as a collection box, mailbox, letter box or drop box (American English) is a physical box into which members of the public can deposit outgoing mail intended for collection by the agents of a country's postal.

Active University of Utah staff, faculty, emeriti, students, and University of Utah Health staff are eligible to use Box. Affiliate accounts are not eligible.
Your university Box account will be set up when you first log in with your uNID and password at https://box.utah.edu.
Box allows you to easily collaborate and exchange information with other University of Utah and University of Utah Health users in a secure and encrypted environment. Other cloud providers such as Dropbox or Google Drive cannot provide this level of security.

- Select 'Account settings.'
- In the section 'Login information,' select 'Add more emails.'
- Enter the non-University of Utah or non-University Health email address and save changes.
- Follow the steps in the confirmation messages sent to the address you provided, which will validate that the email address is operational.
- Go back into 'Account settings' and hover over the address, selecting the option to make this address primary. Authenticate to save changes.

Why a Virtual PO Box with PhysicalAddress.com?
Post Box At Home Delivery
PhysicalAddress.com is one of the few virtual PO Box services that manages and operates all address locations. When you sign up, you get the option to select a physical address and suite number for your virtual PO box. The location you choose is a PhysicalAddress.com location and is managed by PhysicalAddress.com associates. Many virtual PO box services use third-party mail centers as your physical address. These mail centers also manage your mail and are involved with supporting you as a customer, so you are dealing with two companies. If one of these companies goes out of business or loses their location lease, you lose your address. Other online virtual PO box companies rent a standard PO box from the post office and then offer you addresses off that PO box, e.g., 111 First Street, PO Box 54786 PMB 1134. Your mail is delivered to the post office and then forwarded to another location to be processed. Because we are one-company and do not outsource, it gives us the ability to provide our clients with a stable, efficient, reliable, and seamless experience.
What is a Virtual PO Box?
A Virtual PO Box provides customers with many of the benefits of a standard PO Box and a lot more. A Virtual PO Box allows customers to view and manage their postal mail online using a computer or smartphone. Virtual PO Box services scan postal mail and upload it to online servers so that customers can access their postal mail utilizing an Internet connection. Many of the online PO Box services allow customers to view, open, forward, shred, and archive postal mail using a computer or smartphone.
What is an Online PO Box?
An Online PO Box gives users the ability to view and manage their postal mail online using a computer or smartphone. The term online PO box and virtual PO box are often used synonymously.
