Is it ok to use a UPS store as a receiving address?
I ask because you have an actual street address but they then out it in a mailbox for you that
can be accessed after hours. I could scope the scene before I pickup anything?
Does anyone else do this?
Just looking for better options than my house or neighbors house. Wonder if I could register
with fake info and use that for shipping. Then if things go south for me I just become myself
and play dumb...
thoughts?

Would love to hear some thoughts on this as well. I know they are accessible 24 hours a day, so that's a plus.

Important to remember that most are also going to be video recording your every move, 24/7.

Well I ask because I live in a new area and know very few people. I do not have any way to have an address that isn't my own.
Mailmen aren't gonna leave mail at an empty house. Maybe but that is a risk to me...
I am just trying to think of other ways besides shipping to where I live.

It's a perfectly valid question; covered many times, there is no cut and dry answer. If you go the PO Box route, chances are you'll be ask to provide ID. In my eyes, all the PO Box does is distance the package from your dwelling. If you're going to set up a P.O. Box with a set of fake credentials, now you're messing with identity theft amongst other things should you get pinched.
Some will argue that small amounts, as a user, you're safe to order to your address. I won't go that far but, chances are, you'll probably be fine.

I should look into the fake ID vendors on here and see if that is a viable option. Use that for a mail box in the next town over.
Out of state ID as I just moved here, and need a local address before I set up permanent residence. Something like that.

Keep in mind you will also need a Drivers License at UPS Store as well. I wonder how LE would deal with trying to do a controlled delivery to a place like this.
