post-office box
Leased mail receptacle
A post-office box is a locked compartment at a post office where mail is delivered and held for pickup, rather than being sent to a home or business address.
Renters receive a key and a numbered address: Send it to P.O. Box 247.
Often shortened to P.O. box or PO box.
