Editing Post office box (section)

=== Package delivery by private carriers ===
Until 2012, package delivery to USPS post office boxes was not available from private carriers like [[United Parcel Service|UPS]], [[FedEx]] and others. In early 2012, the USPS introduced a P.O. Box Street Address (PBSA) service that allows box-holders to combine the street address of the post office where their box is located with their post office box number into a street address format.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=mtcsa |title=Move to Competitive Locations with Street Addressing |publisher=Ribbs.usps.gov |access-date=2013-08-24 |archive-date=2 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102043550/https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=mtcsa |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[http://1.usa.gov/U9XlPM Street Addressing]{{dead link|date=August 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.giantprintshop.com/2012/02/01/street-addressing-now-available-for-usps-p-o-box-holders/ |title=Street Addressing Now Available For USPS P.O.
