Title: Shipping Question please help?
Post by: wejqijeijqw on December 25, 2011, 08:42 am
Would it be better to have it shipped to a post office and use my actual name to pick it up, or have it mailed to a vacant house and use a random name. Or should I not do neither. Sorry I'm just new here and can't have it mailed to my current address.

...thats difficult to say, depends on your location, city, which postal service, and your circumstance.
the forum is littered with these discussions most of which give good advise, but at the end of the day your the one who has to receive it !

you have to also take these into account:
 being too paranoid,
 you taking some chance at some point,
 weighing up the pros and cons and hopefully not blaming the seller at the end to try get some $$'s back.

travelingwithoutmoving is right bro. in the end, its a risk no matter what shipment method you use. the way i look at is dont bring attention to your self. i just use my name and address as i would for anything else i order. using fake names an a P.O. Box an all that is pointless cause at some point you gotta pick it up. so my advise is to just do it like you would for all your mail. the name of the game is to blend in. fake names an all that shit just stick out to postal services an are at greater risk of getting red flagged in my honest opinion bro. best of luck to you sir an i hope i helped.

I think having it delivered to the post office might be a bad idea depending on what it is you're buying..if its cannabis or anything that could possibly smell, unless you can trust your vendor 100% to package it right, any tell-tale smell or sign its iffy and you could be in trouble. Using a vacant house seems a bit risky..how would you even find one? Why not just use a PO Box or business accommodation address rental-type service... most towns offer these where you can just turn up, pay cash, use their address and collect your mail. Probably have to use your real name tho and show some ID with most, there are some I've seen here that don't ask for anything though.
