PO box or regular addy?

[ColumboWeiser]

What do you guys use? I am thinking about switching to a PO box, moved in next to the future inlaws. They are really great and all, but sometimes they are too friendly and help bring in the mail... I do not need this...any ideas?

Really no difference...I use my home addy for U.S. shipping.

If you use your real name then its no different from your house. Fed Ex, DHL, etc... wont deliver to PO Boxes either.

P.o box with a fake I.D.......This is the best bet.
Then, pay someone off who works there to tip you off if the feds come in asking about the box owner. I doubt you will ever get pinched.

So how does this mailboxes thing work?

 

[bstone]

depends.....

It depends on who you are ordering your gear from and how they are shipping it. For instance, if you are ordering from out of the USA and you want exprs shipping, DHL won't deliver to a PO box. I am not sure about Fed Ex or UPS.

Hope this helps

Just get it sent to your house. About the in laws being neighborly(sp??)
The box doesn't come with a big sticker that says:
"THIS IS AN ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE" does it??
Unless it does, it is just something, anything really, you ordered through the mail. No big deal.
I find it way more convienent to have is sent to the house. Easier than finding time to run by the post office.
Just my opinion though.

So you guys don't have a problem with forein gear being sent to your house under your name? If thats a legit option, I will do that...

Nah, I have no prob with it.
Although today I did have to sign for something!!
No big deal, would've had to sign for it whether or not it got delivered to the house or a po box.
I wouldn't worry too much about getting it at your house--foreign or domestic.

I had my gear (domestic source) sent to my home with my real name on it, and had my anti-e's and clomid (foreign source) sent to my home with a fake name.

Neither one had a problem, except my mother opened my anti-e's because it was addressed to a girl....

I know what ya mean about the inlaws. My credit card address is still at my grandparents cause I move so much and thats the one place I know I can always get my mail. Since a lot of legit places will only deliver to your billing address I have to have stuff sent there and pick it up. Not a box can be delivered there without my grandmom b*tchin "that better not be anything illegal!"

 

[sureshot33]

I have always had gear sent to my house, using my real name. I look at it this way, I'd rather get piched committing one crime instead of two. If you use a false name for a PO Box, then your breaking (2) federal laws.....................

If you had gear sent to a PO box wouldn't it be harder for them to pinch you because they would have to sit around and wait for you to pick the gear up. As opposed to them just delivering it to your house and busting you after you took possession. I don't even know who THEY ARE, but I wouldn't want to find out. I'm paranoid as a mutha f*** since I just made a non-domestic order. I dont think Im going to have any fingernails left when I do recieve it..

hey columbo, i don't know if it's been said or not, but mailbox i think mailboxes etc. offers mailboxes like a po box that everything

 

[LegBreaker]

I have had overseas shit sent to my house a bunch of times with no problems. What I do is just give them the 1st initial and my last name.. If someone oversea's sends a bomb to my house or juice who's to say I had a clue that it was coming I just saw something in the mail box....

Thanks for the help guys...

Hearing what other guys do helps me out. I wish I lived back at my old pad, I had over fifty packages sent with no problems... I guess I have to suck it up and use my name....
