Be aware that when/if you decide to close a THE UPS STORE PMB the US Post Office will not forward that mail to your new address since it isn't a registered street address. You'll have to have the UPS STORE person do it for you (for a fee). Same for any Private Mail Box operation. The good part of a PMB is they will also accept UPS and Fedex where USPS won't.

A USPS PO BOX is cheap, about $60/yr at Lady Lake (probably same in Wildwood) and you can set it up online. USPS will also send you scanned photos of all your mail as it comes in (for free) the morning of delivery if you sign up for "Informed Delivery" feature. It saves trips to the PO or your TV mail station. I find it about 95% accurate.
