I am surprised that PM will not ship to a PO Box. I guess no one will sign for the parcel at the PO Box.
Can’t UPS leave a pickup card in the PO Box like what they do by sticking a card at the door at condo apartments.
Shipments to a PO Box can be signed for just as any other package can be. In fact, it's actually more secure because PO boxes are contained within a post office and the signature required request is a lot less likely to be ignored as they have been since the start of COVID-19. The person working at the post office asks for the signature at the counter (the package never physically goes into the PO box). However, the package must be sent by Canada Post.
As for UPS leaving a pickup card in the PO Box, this isn't possbile as they do not have access to these facilities. They would not have a key to the box and Canada Post will nto allow UPS to leave a pickup card with the post office worker. UPS would have to actually mail the pickup notice through the Canada Post mail system which they won't do. Further to this, this isn't specific to UPS and as I was saying earlier, only Canada Post has access to a PO Box. The moment any shipping company other than Canada post (UPS, Fedex, Purolator, Canpar, etc.) detects a PO Box address, it's automatically treated as an invalid address.
