Don't think for one minute that a proper rented postbox is any better. I had one for a year. Box 226. I ended up getting mail addressed to 266, 626, 662, 262 and every so often 226

. This of course implies that the owners of the other boxes sometimes get my mail.

Complaint sent. Response: "Sir, we're sorry, we know about the problem. They send us these youngsters from <xyz> and they can't all read properly". I kid you not. I have since given up said PO box, zero advantages above street delivery. I buy all my magazines.
