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.

I would not let you use the mailbox as well, it is a short term rental and it establishes residency and a possible nightmare if you or anyone wanted to squat in that home. Believe me I have been there! If I am not mistaken Amazon uses their own vehicles and does not use USPS, I have used them many times and they have NEVER used USPS. Maybe if you buy from Temu they would use USPS. Don't like it then don't rent from them and good luck with that, too many people have been burnt by letting renters think that they rent for a few months and get the same benefits that we pay for year round. Want a mailbox, pony up like the rest of us did and buy a house here.
