Anyone know the latest situation for getting a mailbox for my personal mail?

I've checked a couple of old threads, and gathered:

The post office will let you have one free as long as it's over 30 items of mail (no good for me)

There are a couple of places in Seoul like Mailboxes etc. - who don't seem to be on the net here.

Is this still the current state of affairs?

I would prefer a place in Yongin, but Seoul isn't out of the question. In fact I go to Itaewon more than different parts of Yongin at the moment.

Bumping this just in case any of the weekday crowd know.

I went to my post office and asked for one (was lucky enough to have a fluent English speaker working there). Costs 12,000 won. Not sure if it's per month or year, but I've only paid once so far and they haven't asked for more money.

All they asked for was some ID, ARC or Passport. Filled out some papers, signed them, and that's it.

Box size doesn't matter, really. I get huge packages that don't fit into the box, and they leave a card saying to go upstairs to the mail sorting room, where my packages wait for me.

Thanks both of you.
