Amazon does not have a section for mailing address only and the 2 addresses would be different zip codes so I can't have both addresses on one form. This becomes more problematic when Amazon decides to ship via USPS (and normally you don't know in advance). Hopefully someone has dealt with this.

Thanks,

If I were you, I would NOT follow that advice to gain control over the mailbox.

If you did circumvent the landlord, speaking as a tenant and a landlord, I would do everything I could to evict you immediately or bring suit against you.

Why create a horrible, adversarial relationship when you could simply rent a mailbox as the owner suggested?

Some would give you advice that stirs up a hornet's nest, because they're not involved and like to see others in turmoil because it's fun for them.

My advice... Let this go....it's not worth it.
