I wish PO box prices weren't so high either, and that I had one local enough to me. The one I really want to rent is located about 1-2 mins down the road (depending on traffic), but the post office has no 11x11 boxes available for rent. The other two post offices are 20 mins away from my place, in opposite directions. While 20 mins isn't bad, I'd much prefer 2 mins. And one of those post offices happens to be in another state. (Not sure how taxes work with that. I don't want to pay for double the sales tax.)
Anyway, we're celebrating my grandma's birthday today. 89.  We got her a nice, authentic Red Sox jersey (since she's a huge baseball addict!) and a few other small things. The jersey was only $72 with a 40% manager discount from a friend, so we were very happy with the purchase!
She is a diehard Yankees fan (since she's originally from upstate NY) and we saw a Babe Ruth jersey for sale, but it wasn't in her size. She loves the Red Sox, though, and we got her her favorite player's jersey (Mookie Betts).

Hi Blue!
I am sorry your package has not shown up.
Is it anything you can replace?
It's just wonderful that your grandmother is doing as well as she is at 89 y.o. I know she has breast cancer and every moment with her is a gift to you and to your family.
My grandmother (deceased in the past 3 years) also loved the Red Sox! She never missed a game that was aired on TV. She loved anything Red Sox. The last piece of Red Sox clothing I had bought her was a pink Red Sox baseball cap with the logo in its usual colors. She loved it, especially since the visor helped with the sun! I now have her cap.
I cannot get over the prices of PO boxes. I had wanted one at a post office just 5 minutes away. Yet, I am disgusted with the prices, so... probably not going to do it.
You might have another option? There are some "business stores," who help businesses with printing, packing and shipping, fax services, etc. Some of these places also rent out PO boxes. They also sign for packages with your permission. I have one of these nearby and, now that I have recalled this, I am going to call them to check on their services.
I hope you and your grandmother are having a great time!!!
