"Hold for collection" mail services in SG?

  Hi all,
  
  Suppose a foreign friend sends some confidential documents/parcels to our home address. Is it possible to retain the package at the Post Office so that the package is held there until we personally collect it? because for some personal reasons, I need to do this.
  
  Or maybe SG has other companies/services that does this, whereby a foreign friend can send a package to a place here for safekeeping until I go and claim it?
  
  I cannot rely on friends or relatives for the record.
  
  Thanks!
  Nikar.

  If the parcel is huge, they will leave a 'Collection Advice' for you to pick it up at the Post Office. If it's small enough or there's someone at home, they'll leave it there. No retention services available.
