UPS and Fedex do not deliver to PO Box. Use the PO box address if you use USPS, the other one for UPS or Fedex.

For courier/express mail there is one address and the Lockbox address is for regular/priority mail.

Glad to have some "filing company" here, it feels like we are not going through the waiting alone :) From what I've gathered, NYC seems to be a good place to be for this. And, of course, one of the best places to be in general! Good luck for filing!

probably a week or so to checks to be cashed in, first NOA is a good thing, probably a week and a half for that i suppose

My AOS package was received on March 4th, I got email notification yesterday (4 days later), and NOA hard copy, according to the email, should arrive in 7-10 business days. Checks have not been cashed yet. I wouldn't start worrying yet about the NOA. It'll come. Apparently they send it through regular mail, so it might take a while even after they have sent it for the NOA to make it in your mail box.

vkn & jsb, the express mail and courier address is actually USCIS, FBAS, 131 South Dearborn-3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60603-5517.. the PO Box is for regular US postal service. I know UPS and FedEx won't deliver to a PO Box, but not quite sure about USPS Express mail. If you went to a postal office to mail it and they said it was fine with a PO Box, then I'm sure there is no problem with it! They wouldn't have taken it with a PO box address if they weren't going to deliver it there.
