ok to answer some of the questions..first of all.."Does the UPS store(mailboxes inc) accept packages if you dont have a box or account with them? YES..they do and they charge a $5 fee. They will also accept COD if you take them the money order the night before or early that morning.I have done this several times with UPS.
Yes you can have a pkg held at the Fedex hub before a delivery attempt is made,..IF you put your shipping address as the address of the hub..most order forms have Address line #1 and Line #2..on line 2 you put ***HOLD FOR CUSTOMER PICKUP***I have also done this lots of times wihout any problems..and my shipping and billing info is different.sometimes with NROPS it wont let you change the shipping address so you have to REGISTER with the hubs address...its a headache filling it out,but worth it...
