Shipping a Package Ahead

I tried looking online, but I couldn’t really find any information, so I thought the parents might now.

I am graduating in about a week, and I am moving about 250 miles away from my school. I am moving to New York. I do not yet have an apartment, but I am going up to New York after graduation to view the possible choices that I found, and I will take one of them.

The only problem is my stuff. My parents are helping me with some, but our car is too small, and bringing them home and shipping them after I get an apartment is not really an option for reasons I won’t go into here.

My question is, can I ship stuff ahead to New York? Is there a shipping service through which I can get a P.O. box online? I looked at USPS, but they say to apply at a local post office. Plus, their shortest rent term is 6 months, which is too long and too expensive. I am looking to spend no more than $20, since cost is already through the roof on shipping.

I would appreciate any help!
