P.O. Box Vs Home

[TheOlympian]

What's better to have, a p.o. box/box rental services or home? How do the boxes work exactly? What if they cannot fit the package into my box? Do you have to sign to recieve a package? Do you have to have ID verification for your box? Really any information will be of help, thanks in advance!

These days you must show a picture ID to rent a PO box. There's no way to get around that anymore. Whether or not a signature is required is entirely dependent upon the delivery method. Check with whomever you propose ordering from to verify if signature confirmation is required.

Be sure to request a private deliverer (i.e. UPS or FedEx) and not have anything illegal shipped by U.S. Mail because it is a felony to involve any branch of the government in an illegal act.

Also, do not get overnight shipping or any crude like that. It
is more likely to be confiscated if it gets to you fast.

To open PO BOX, you need 2 ID's, at least that is the case in many states.
If you receiving large quantities on regular basis, let it be delivered to USPS place. If not, use home addy. All international should go to PO box too. Stay away from sources who use UPS, FEDEX, DHL etc. Those are private carriers and they can open any pack they please. Stick to USPS priority and you'll be fine.

Basically what i was gonna say. I also highly recommend Priority mail and stay the hell away from those private carrier's,that's like asking to get nailed,they don't have to play by the same rule's he USPS does.
