Title: Shipping Options
Post by: UnderG21 on February 05, 2013, 09:25 pm
Based on your experiences so far, what is the best(anonymity wise) way for receiving packages?

I can have a PO Box to have things sent to which is not registered to my name but to a company with no personal name appearing on it, just the company title and details - I can receive things from the box without signing, just using company details.
The other option is again an address registered to a company but if i choose to have things sent there i'll have to use a name.

What do you think?

With having things delivered to your house you have plausible deniability.  I'm not sure if it's quite the same if they were to apprehend you after you go pick up packages from a P.O. Box.

Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable in this area will chime in and comment.

You have to have nerves of steel..  There is no true way to hide completely. You will be photographed 26 times in an average day including while you get that mail out of a box in some companies name. lol

Yup, I read an article long time back where some guy got busted after he went into a post office to pick up a package.

Was full of Xanax and things like that.  Wasn't SR-related though.

I believe lots of places (especially the US) you can't open a P.O. Box without showing a valid government-issued ID.

Well, in my place it;s a bit different with PO BOX.

You dont need to present any sort of ID to take letters/items from the box unless sit is quite a big package which doesnt fit in the actual box.
Hopefully items sent through SR come in the size of an envelope which should fit in there.

However, my point was merely on the fact that an anonymous PO box registered to someone else, from which a 3rd person picks mail,bills etc should be safer than let's say an address to a home with a fake name. Or not?

Just order it to your home, under your real name - but make sure you get plenty of packages of places like, Ebay and Amazon. Makes the on-going steady package amount look less suspicious  :)

The best way is to order small amounts delivered in small packages or envelopes. Not only the delivery success rate is higher, it's also much less risky in case it gets found out.
Unless you require large amounts for reselling purposes etc then maybe someone more knowledgeable will help you.

Well thing is i'm kinda obligated to use a PO box due to where my house is...so it;s either a po box to my house or a po box to a company
for which my name need not be used...ofcourse as it was mentioned that probably makes no difference whatsoever...

small quantities for sure and we'll see the results :)

It may be my newness but wouldn't next day be the safest as it is rushed through the post to arrive at the next destination...then again shipping shouldn't be an issue if it is packaging correctly

shipping is not where the cops are going to catch you. it's going to be something mundane and you didnt think about and you were sloppy.

Why use your own name when you can just use a made up name? Makes it easier to suggest that it was never intended for you in the first place if they ever find out.

A well packed parcel should have no issues in a PO Box.

DONT USE FAKE INFO.
