I was having the same thoughts, but depending on where you are at I think coming to a military post office can be an advantage. If you are stateside though I would just open a civilian box. If you are at a large base there will be excessive amounts of mail flowing through and the MPO is always undermanned so as long as there is nothing suspicious about the package I think it would be fine. I decided to try it, placed my order($400) and then couldn't get it shipped because of I am overseas so a customs form had to be filled out. So then I had it routed to a stateside address but it is still a no-show.....does anyone know a good mod to ask about a potential scammer. I know we can ask any of them but I tried one a few weeks ago and got no reply.
