Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Okay, just a theory here. Anyone who has ever lived in college dorms ever try ordering to themselves c/o the dorm. At my school at least, any mail that is sent (packages included) is held for you at the front desk and it is your responsibility to know if somehting i there (tey do not notify you.) If a package is sent with a signature required they sign for it. Now this does involve your academic center, which is a very bad thing (you can be kicked out) but it also could possibly be a way to avoid a controlled delivery. This is hypothetical and just a thought i came up with a few weeks ago. Anyone ever try it?

Dorms are safer than houses. People in college get packages delivered everyday. It's the only way I can get overseas packages. I think the post office sees that the package is going to a college and doesn't check it. Never had a package siezed at college, had 5 or 6 siezed coming to my house. Don't worry about it.
That was my thought, i've always used po in the past, but i was just thinking that if something was sent international to a dorm it would be commonplace. Luckinly though i don't have to worry about this, my uni has usps po boxes on campus, hehe and they're flooded with international mail. Mlomker, as i said I just thought that maybe this would be a good way to offset a controlled delivery, i decently familiar with the game. I didn't ask what i am supposed to do (i already know this), i asked for people who have either positive or negative feedback on this specific issue; not for people to use my thread as a way of self-propagandization (through running up their post count.) thank you muscle. and super for your replies, it shows that you guys at least read and comprehended what i wrote and are here to help others, not promote the air of individualistic gain (not to mention the blatant disregard for decency in responding to a valid question with something that is entirely different from that which is being asked) that many on the boards recently seem to be so much about. Sorry about the preterition their, but hey it gets the point across.
Anyone else tried recieveing at college?

Re: oks sorry about that
The bottom line is that if they want to bust you then you are toast...regardless of where it is sent to.
The problem with having things delivered to work/college or anyplace else is that they usually reserve the right to open/inspect your mail without your permission. That isn't cool because things aren't always packaged properly.

A kid on our floor my freshman year had gear shipped 5 or 6 times without any problems. But I know if he would have gotten caught, he would have gotten expelled immediately. That would be a tough one to explain to the parents. So he got away with it, but I never had the balls to try it.

Friends of mine, during my freshman year, were having tabs delivered here for sale around campus. Somehow the package was intercepted or deemed suspiscious and was opened. They were interrogated by the DEA (not really sure what happened with that...they were very tight-lipped about it), but were not expelled. I think they paid high fines, but had no real penalties in terms of jail-time or expulsion.
Thanks for the responses guys. Hehe, i'm gonna find an intresting way to beat the system, but for now back to the good ole p.o. box. So far safest way is have parents that are very well connected in legal system (judges), let them in on it (i'm not a fuck up, "i want to do competition/ be asthetically pleasing/ etc." Then have a source who packages very well send to the mailing address of the judges chamber (these are not publicly given out, at least in louisiana-- thus customs does not check that thoroughly.) I wish my father would be a judge. Hehe, only problem with this is if one is in a high appointed position (if caught it would definately arise a question; but chances are would just be dismissed as someone trying to set-up the judge. What do u guys think of that one. Hehe the k is kicking in.

Yes, football.
ive had tabs sent to me as and signed for at the front desk and no problems.. this is also because fedex, ups and other express companies go straight to the dorms.
Then there's USPS which you have to get yourself... I see no reason why you couldnt do it, as long as you dont make it obvious, and the shipper knows how to package right since the last thing you need is a leak...

I've been getting my packages sent to university for the last 2 years. Never had a single problem. Later.

depends on the school.
I know someone - and no, not me - that had it delivered to their campus housing, and the campus police and the head postmaster were the ones delivering it... or rather, not delivering it but bringing threats.
they were cool in that they didn't bring in anyone outside the school, but there is no way they can ever order again to that address - and if their name is at all unique or stands out, then they are going to have a hard time using that name.
basically some schools are more uptight about their mail than others.

i tried that once at my school a few years back and i can say that at least for me it did work. we had our mailboxes and if something was too big for the boxes you went to the cluster office and picked up your package. it was as easy as that. but i advise you to know that your source has excellent packaging because you dont want to draw any more attention to your package than is needed. also these are usually students themselves that are working in there and could care less about being careful with packages. they usually just throw them around. wouldnt want a bottle of test breaking. hope this mindless rambling helps.
