ask your source if he sent a BIG package or a LITTLE package. If he sent a little package then disregard the phonecall. If its a big one tell your source he's a dick and disregard the call. Either way it sounds TOO RISKY. Tell the post office you are NOT EXPECTING A PACKAGE.
But I have never heard of a package being too big. How big could it be.
what are you expecting in the mail? you need to ask yourself it there is even enough gear in that package to justify them going to these lengths to bust you. if you're not expecting too much then i would go for it.
however, if it's a big order. stop and think about it.
i do like the idea of just calling them and asking. tell them that you are thinking about opening a box but you know some of the packages will be too large to fit. how would they handle that. it's always been a slip as far as i know.
if you live in a big enough city, pay someone to pick it up for you. then have them drive down the street to meet you. if he/she gets picked up, that person won't know who you are and you'll be long gone
Call the P.O., from a pay phone and don't give them your name. Ask them what their policy is - if a person gets a package and it does not fit in the P.O. box. If they tell you a slip in the box. then I would not pick it up and if they call again tell them you did not order anything.
This is some scary shit! I wonder if it broke open or something. How else would they know unless they were monitoring your source? Was it domestic or international?
Call your source and try to find the exact measurements of the box. That way you can determine if it'd fit in one of the larger boxes that the Post Office puts stuff in. For example, at a Post Office I used to work at, we'd put a key in your box. This key would open up a larger box so that you could get your package during off hours. If your source says it's not that big then call it a loss. Actually,....I think I'd call it a loss regardless.
It was domestic. And i recieved a package from the same source that was too big for my box but they didnt call. I'm scared becuase it is a $1000 order. I think I'm going to go call and see if it is common for the post office to call.
