What? No. It's absolutely normal even in very small towns (~ 5k). Also, post offices offer the service.

Which country?

You can get a PO box but it is not a safe deposit and would not keep there anything valuable for longer that a day or two.

Getting a box in the bank on the other hand was tough as I was looking for it in Poland/Netherlands/Germany, banks don't care and it is more hassle for them than it is worth.
