I did the same as K-9 Lovers. Sold my house in NJ last year, put my stuff in storage, and rented in Bonita for 3 months before choosing and closing on my newly constructed home in TV. Based on the info on this site, I decided to rent a PO box from the Fruitland Park PO on 466A. Had all my mail from NJ forwarded there, and all my closing documents, new auto and home insurance were mailed there without any problems. As soon as I had the keys to my new house, I processed a change of address to have my mail forwarded from the PO box to my new TV address and it worked flawlessly.

By the way, I went to the Pack-N-Ship in Colony today and got a flier that they are closing that location on March 31. Not sure what happens with mail for folks who have PO boxes there, my recommendation is to get a PO box from the US Post Office.
