If you have a post office box at a USPS post office then the ePacket package will be delivered to the post office as Epackets final delivery is done through the USPS.
The USPS and Hong Kong Post have an agreement with each other for delivering Epacket packages to USA addresses.
When ordering something from China and it gets sent through ePacket delivery it can take up to 20 to 30 days to get an ePacket delivery from China.
It takes awhile as China is very far away from the USA and other locations.
