    So I'm currently in the middle of doing two trades. I usually have my boxes sent to my house but with my current work situation I have a ups store and fed ex store close to where I work. It would be a huge convince for me if I could pick the boxes up at the stores. First off can I have boxes sent to the stores and has anyone done this before and did it work out ok? Thanks

    On the FedEx tracking website, there is a spot for you to click on for them to hold it at the store for you

    I think its possible. I ordered from walmart once and instead of paying shipping to my house, there was a cheaper option to ship it to the fedex store.

    You can do the same with UPS as well by signing up for the MyChoice and you can also use it to bypass signatures when you can't sign for something, use the free version and they will hold it at the distribution center, I think holding it at the store will cost you though.

    With FedEx its even easier, there is a button when you track the item that will allow you to have it held at a store of your choice if its your package (I do this often if someone has put 'Adult Signature Required' on the package as the FedEx man always delivers when I am not home in my area.)

    I do it all the time with Fedex. The store is really close to my office and no one is home at my house most of the day. I dont want the box sitting in the hot florida sun for 5 hours, or getting stolen. Works out great if you have a pickup close by.
