Pros/Cons of different delivery methods.

Just started college and that means its time for me to update and upgrade my OPSEC. I live in my own apartment but may have already burned the address due to a love letter for a fake ID so I need to get a mailbox.

I know its part of the game but I really hate the idea of my acutal name or address tied to a package. It is absolutely worth it to me to spend resources on a safer method of delivery. Since I have ruled out getting them to my door, I feel a PO box is my best option.

UPS Store-- Costs $100 and doesnt offer 24 hr pickup. The store is owned privatly and seems like a very low-key palce to send packages. I stil have to put my parents addres on it because thats what my ID still has on it.

USPS Location-- Box is $55 and has a later pick up time(10pm?). Same situation with the address AND they said that they need to run a background check, thats wierd?

I have been thinking about having someone else put their name on the box or sign up with a fake id.

What should I do to keep myself as safe as possible? I'm willing to do a lot.

Thanks

Really? That seems very unusual.

It's a hard egg to crack dude. This is the only point of failure I really see that's out of your control in the DNM scene. The only real answer for you is to find a reliable drop and hope for the best.

I always thought fake IDs do more harm than good. In the end if your package gets intercepted en route or sniffed out at your local post office they will attempt a controlled delivery and you will be the one that picks it up. Now if its under your real name it looks way less suspicious and you can claim you just had a note in your box for a package and had NO IDEA what was in the box and you have a chance of beating it in court if your OPSEC is good and they can not find evidence of your ordering process but if its under a fake name how are you going to explain you stealing someones mail? This step has always been everyone's weakest link in the OPSEC chain and takes some serious craftyness or having it shipped to someone else (that you KNOW FOR A FACT will take the charge and not tell on you) then getting it from them via a dead drop process so that detectives cant watch them get the package then bring it straight to you. But then people will argue that you are not suppose to tell anyone about your DNM activity. So then how do you explain to that person what the package is and where it is coming from?
