How do you receive shipments from UPS and FedEx?  I seem to always just barely miss them.

Actually, FedEx isn't a huge problem. They just go off and leave signature required boxes leaning up against my garage door

I just had FedEx driver lie that they attempted delivery (signature required) on a Sat and Sun when we were hear all day. Driver noted he attempted delivery and then returned my package to the sender. I have video cameras that prove they didnt attempt delivery.  FedEx didnt care one bit and just refused to communicate with me because I was no longer the delivery address.

I don't know how those FedEx bastards stay in business.   I pray daily that they go out of business.   I went through a week-long ordeal last week just trying to get the useless shits to make a delivery.  
For OP's question, I think some people have their deliveries sent to an alternate address.   But I've heard some shippers won't send to an alternate address.   Maybe someone who uses an alternate address will chime in with details.

trobertson5-0 I wasn't put in jail for what I did. I was put in it for what I think. There were FBI agents posting in my threads. I've seen the discovery showing this.

I rent a box at a UPS Store. Been doing it since 2009.
They receive packages from all carriers.

Last I knew, RSR won't sell to home FFLs.   Perhaps they changed policy.

Not trying to be a dick, but what does this have to do with the topic here?

And if you must know, I've had an account with them nearly 15 years.  I was grandfathered in.

I've had them hold stuff and pick it up at the shipping center when I wasn't going to be home.

I've also had FedEx leave half a dozen pistols on the front porch.

This is the way. We have UPS Store and USPS boxes that accept shipments from any carrier. Prefer UPS Store because the parking is better. LOL As for cost, I think each UPS Store sets their own prices, but it's definitely not expensive. Whether distributors will ship to a personal mail box is dependent on their policies. I know Tom gets RSR to his UPS box but it will take some work to convince them.

Yes, however, only if your post office offers Premium PO Box Service. Search your zip code to verify if they offer the service.

When I had my FFL I knew my UPS driver he would text me and drive to my address later in the day when he knew I'd be home after work. I could also set the FedEx packages to be held at the hub and I would pick them up there after work.

I pay by the year, I think it was a little over $300.

No, fuck them. Both started as home based businesses. I have accounts with both and regularly tell my sales rep why he doesn't get more  business.

There are  plenty of other distributors that have no problem shipping.

Sometimes they will.
I prefer Zanders and only use RSR when no one else has an item.
