An alternative if for any reason you do not like St. Brendan's is to use Escapees in South Dakota. This is the St. Brendan's for the RVers and serves the same function. Don't have the details as I have never used them but I have several friends speak highly of the service.

They will ship it per your instructions. If you want dropped off at your fav bar while ur anchored out u can p/u there. They scan the envelopes, open and scan inside per ur instructions and ship when, where and how per ur instructions. U B in control throughout.
Last year I had income tax information, 1099's scattered all over FL and Fort Worth. I was trying to coordinate the USPS...not easy. St Brendens has been a godsend.

Thanks again Mule. The real hangup I have isn't what St Brendan's will do but rather what the fav bar or marina will do. Does the marina provide a pickup box or something or do you just go by the office and ask them if there in any mail for your slip number or vessel name? I assume you need to notify them in advance.

The marinas log in a large amount from all the carriers, you P/u and sign. This concern you have has never been an issue. Likely best not to let it get out u laundry cash for drug dealers or are a rep for DeBeirs diamonds though. Everything is in unnoticeable, unremarkable packaging.

If you don't trust a marina, then have it delivered to the nearest Post Office and held for counter pick up. Personally, we've never had an issue with a marina as all the packages are trackable so we know they're on the way.
