This is going to be a huge source of spam and fraud.

If I remember correctly they don't allow PO Boxes to be used as primary addresses.  We're working out of our home, I'm going to have to figure something out.

You have to check the pricing locally, but I don't think it's outrageous ($25/mo from what I understand)

With Mail Boxes Etc.® services from The UPS Store®, you can give your small business a real street address. We accept shipments from any carrier so that you don’t have to worry about missing one. We’ll even text you when your mail or packages arrive.

Your mailing address will be the address of The UPS Store location, with either PMB (private mailbox) or the pound symbol (#) designating your individual box. Instead of “The UPS Store,” your name appears first.

Example:
Joe Smith
PMB XXX or # XXX
12345 Somewhere Street
Some City, Some State Some ZIP

Yeah, we use to have a nice suite address that was inexpensive.  We do have to deal with returns and such and it will be an obstacle right now though with trying to avoid going into buildings with the pandemic.

Looks like there is a way to have a business address a shipping address.  The business address is what will be visible, and it looks like its ok for that one to be a PO Box.
