Hey all. I know it may seem like common sense to those who have done it, but I have never mailed something to the post office in order to pick it up myself. I have combed through the forums briefly but am getting a little frustrated. Do ALL usps offices accept packages that were deleivered usps? Im looking at mailing my backpack and supplies to the usps located on main street in Hanover, by the greyhound stop. Where my question is how exactly do I address the Box? For instance on the top line....?

or does the box have to be labeled for general delivery, how long will they hold this package. Also I know this has been covered in threads, but with mixed answers. Included in my backpack will be a fuel cannister or 2. I was going to buy a cheap box at walmart, pack it all up and bring it into the post office. Somewhere I read I would have to pack the box in front of the post office employeee, which sounds absolutely absurd. Others say you just mail it like you would anything else. Or I have heard it must be sent ground transportation only. Please someone tell me how I do this so that my backpack is where I need it without any incident.
