A post office box (often abbreviated P.O. Box or PO Box) is a uniquely-addressable lockable box located on the premises of a post office station. Why do you have one? What do you do with it. What is the advantage? How does yours look like?

our post office is often closed now sponteneously - due to lack of staff. at the moment they open only two times per week.
from a friend I heared the same about their post office. we estimate they will close sooner or later. don't know if P.O. boxes will die out here. I hope there will be an alternative e.g. PO boxes in tobacco stores or supermarkets..but haven't heared of such plans yet.
I keep a Post Office Box that I've had for 35 years in a small town in Bolinas, California, (even though I now live in Hawaii.) I kept a post office box in both states because I don't have a "real" place to live in either state.
I prefer to having a post office box, because then I do not have to change my address whenever I must move house. When I am in California, I live in a car that I park not very far away from where the post office box is located. When living in Hawaii, I camp out on someone's land who is building a house and there is no home delivery on that rural road anyway. The post office is next to the corner store, down the road from the pool where I like to swim regularly.
I like having a Post Office Box, because nobody can knock on the door where I live because they do not know where I am located, exactly.
I'll take a picture of my P.O. Box the next time I visit.
My post office box is:

Hello! I've had a PO Box since May 2012. I got it because I was staying with a friend until my apartment was ready. I loved making trips to the Post Office to pick up mail, so I kept it. Plus I enjoy the security of knowing my packages will not be left at the door. Plus it keeps me mailing letters and packages if I have to go check it. In the US, it is about $50 for a year. I love that my number is 731.
Many pictures of American P.O.boxes to see on the website of the Post Office Project:

I was surprised to see that the envelopes are delivered / stored vertically (according to the shape of the p.o.boxes, and on one of the pictures there is a sticker or leaflet showing vertical stored envelopes) in the USA, while here in the Netherlands I am used to horizontally delivered mail :-)
