PO Box vs Private Mailbox — What's the Difference?

Many people searching for a "PO Box near me in London" don't realise there's a much better alternative. Here's what you should know before you decide.

Royal Mail PO Box

A Royal Mail PO Box gives you a postal address — but it only accepts Royal Mail deliveries. You cannot receive DHL, FedEx, UPS, Amazon, or DPD parcels to it.

It has no physical street address, which means it looks less professional on business documents. It's also managed entirely by Royal Mail — you have no control over access or hours.

Royal Mail PO Boxes typically cost £270–£390/year.

Private Mailbox (Our Service)

Our private mailbox at Postal & Courier Etc gives you a real London street address(58 Chetwynd Road, London NW5) that accepts deliveries from every courier — Royal Mail, DHL, FedEx, UPS, Amazon, DPD and more.

Use it as your business correspondence address, Companies House address, or personal mail address. We notify you when mail arrives and can forward it anywhere in the world.

Plans start from just £10/month.

Many sole traders and small businesses use our service to keep their home address private and maintain a professional image.
Do you offer mail forwarding? +
Yes, we offer mail and parcel forwarding to any address in the UK or worldwide. We use all major couriers including DHL, FedEx, and Royal Mail. This is especially popular with expats, frequent travellers, and international businesses who need their UK mail handled professionally.
Will my mailbox accept Amazon and DPD deliveries? +
Yes — this is one of our biggest advantages over a Royal Mail PO Box. We accept deliveries from every courier including Amazon Logistics, DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS, Parcelforce, Hermes/Evri, and Royal Mail. If it has a delivery driver, we can receive it for you.
How will I know when my mail has arrived? +
We'll notify you by email or phone when your mail or parcels arrive. You can then come in to collect during our opening hours (Monday–Friday, 10am–5pm) or arrange forwarding to your preferred address.
Do I need ID to set up a mailbox? +
Yes — as required by law under UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all mailbox customers must provide a valid photo ID (passport or driving licence) and a proof of address. This is standard for all UK mailbox providers and only takes a few minutes in store.
