I have had 2 MBE boxes - Here is the deal.
Most of the MBE's are franchised (independently owned). I know the owner of two MBEs. I used a different MBE, cause I did not want them to know that I was getting International packages. I signed up for the box. You will need your driver's license and a electric bill or something else with your info. When you get stuff shipped to you use a similar name to yours (ie change some letters or something like that) then get a box big enough for your stuff. I then send myself a letter every know and then. I go after hours wtih my key and no one is there. I also make sure the Parking lot is empty. When I was new, I used to pickup the letter only leave the stuff for the next day. That way if I was going to get busted, I would say it was not my stuff. I picked up a bogus letter. I still do this on large order. With all the crap going on now, I am always cautious. If you do get a call, you can say it is not your stuff. But if you never receive anything else there, you have no leg to stand on. I send all of my ebay purchases there also. But use your brain. Do not get ebay stuff shipped when you are expecting your stuff. I guess I am paranoid, but I do not want to be on the Sunday paper as a drug dealer. HOpe this helps. P.S. YOu can also go with your Driver's license only and a check for six months of box services. Tell them you will come back with the other ID at some other time. They are small biz so they will give you the box if you have the cash. Then go to the DMV and get a new license. You can always say that you lost your wallet and they must have used it to open the box at MBE. Worked for me! The only risk you have is getting it from the box to your car to your home! I WAS SHITTING MY PANTS ALL THE WAY HOME THE FIRST TIME!!
