I have had 3 things sent to my house since June 8th. I have another coming in a day or two. I want to get a fifth one by Saturday or Monday.
How often is too often? When does it get suspicious?
-
Well depending on where you live you should be fine with 1-2 a week as long as it blends in with the regular mail
Me personally I would only have 1 a week max per drop
And I would also buy parcels that wernt SR related when I wasn't expecting anything delivered for a while
-
Yeah, I don't think there's anything suspicious about that amount. Maybe you got into jewelry-making as a hobby and are ordering rare beads from all over the country. Who cares? The post office sees all kinds of weird shit. As long as it's securely packaged, it shouldn't be a problem.
-
i wouldnt worry about it.. i literally have at least 1 package per day show up at my house (not SR related...) but the post office sees this all the time... nearly everyday.. making numerous deliveries to a house in a given week they dont even give it a second thought...
-
This is also the last time I'll ever be at this address, I'm moving from an address where I can receive packages to an address where I can't. Think that changes anything?
-
If your postman is used to you getting mail from all over the world then its no problem .
-
i would not be concerned in the least...things are shipped constantly through Amazon and other online stores, 5-10 packages in a row is not suspicious in the least. If you had 20-30 shipments coming in on a daily basis, then maybe it would be cause of concern.
-
you should be ok
-
i know a lot of people that buy a ton of stuff on ebay and it all comes in pretty shady packagging so you should be fine..
-
yeah - so long as the packaging is good and is not likely to raise eyebrows then no problem - I don't think the post people really care that much so long as it isn't really obvious - there was a postal guy on the forums this week saying basically if the package doesn't say actually say "drugs" all over it or stinks like skunk then no one gives a shit!
-
Good to know
-
wtf, do you postwo/men look at your mail and report it if its weird or you dont usually get from overseas.
in my country if they saw you got a letter from netherlands or something theyd be like wow must have family there not OMG ITS DRUGS CALL THE POLICE
-
As long as you aren't getting deliveries which might attract attention - such as ounces of weed - there should be no problem.
Like some above have mentioned, I do a lot of buying on eBay and get loads of strange looking packages of various sizes and I also buy a lot of things from China - and some of the packages that come from companies over there look really bizarre.
From what I have read and heard, it is mainly international deliveries from places like the Netherlands that might arouse suspicion on their own.
-
once a month sounds non-suspicious, at-least from where I come...but yea if its domestic-domestic you should be good I suppose
-
Everyday
-
Personally, I don't think my rate of ordering would ever be high enough to cause an issue - what I order and who I order from is more important.

agreed on that...stealth is the real name of the game
-
As long as you order now and then and don't have dry stints for years its fine.
-
I'm sure my mailman is usually higher than I am
-
I personally don't get any drugs etc sent to my home address but to be honest I don't think the Mail would ever think you receiving packages to your property would be suspicious. I order DVD's and clothes in bulk from play.com and regularly there will be 40 small white parcels coming through my door once a month or so, the postman does look pissed off but two years of doing this and have never been reported.
-
I guess it depends upon patterns. I order a lot of things online, so having a package waiting for me where I live is nothing unusual. As long as the person on the other end is using good stealth, then there should be no worries.
-
Don't sweat it, most people get more than one item a week in their mailbox, receiving 3 or 4 is definitely not suss at all.
-
Agree, i get stuff several times a week and doesnt seem to raise any suspicion
-
I've been ordering oddbaal crap from Amazon, eBay, dealextreme, etc for years. Any small, non-descript package would cause little suspicion... even if I was receiving it 3-4 times a week.
I probably depends on your previous habits... but for all anyone knows you're trying to complete your Pink Floyd CD collection. Don't sweat it.
