The UPS Store Canada | Small Business Experts

In the USA the stores called "The UPS Store" also accept mail delivered by USPS. To get a box the customer must complete a USPS form and show ID. The form is held at the local USPS location, just as if the box had been rented within that local USPS location. This lets the store accept mail in the customer's name.

But, the agreement between USPS and contract mail receiving centers (such a The UPS Store) also has other regulations - including not given out personal information on box holders without their permission or legal process (Subpeona).

Years ago a buddy and I had a store like that. Not part of the big franchise, just our own locally owned deal at one location. Thats how I learned the regs.
You can rent po boxes from canada post. its the same idea. i'm not sure if ups rents boxes here in canada or not. price is about 240/year. they have them in a lot of shoppers drug marts and other places so you can get one close to where you live.
