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.

It sounds like they’ve rented you the accommodations but not their mail box too. Because private mail arrives at my mailbox I wouldn’t rent it out either. I also don’t rent out my car, my purse etc you get the idea.

Renting your own post box seems like a good idea.
