How are PO Box rental fees charged?

The correct choice indicates that PO Box rental fees are charged based on a specific cut-off date for billing, dictating when the rental period begins. If a customer applies and is approved for a PO Box rental on or before the 15th of the month, they will start being charged from that same month. If the application is submitted after the 15th, the charges begin the following month. This method helps streamline the billing process and ensures customers know exactly when their rental fees will start accruing.

Understanding this procedure is critical for customers so they can plan their budget accordingly, knowing when their fees will be active based on their application date. Other options present varying billing methods that do not align with the established Postal Service practices for PO Box rentals.
