Title: How long to wait before ordering when opening a new PO Box
Post by: spacewasp on December 15, 2011, 03:35 pm
If I open a new PO box and start getting catalogs, legit packages, and other mail, how long should I wait before getting SR orders.  I understand it would be sketchy to get them right away, but when you say I've safely "established residency?"

before you tell me not to go with the Post Office let me say that sending to my home or friends is out of the question, and there are no private mail boxes around.

I personally don't see a point in waiting.

Assume a legit person is opening a PO Box, wouldn't it be common sense that they would start using it right away?

I opened my PO Box and begin having packages sent to it right away, no prob.

If any LE ever get a hold of you, you will be using dependability as your defense.  I would say order away.  Good thing to have other stuff coming there though, i order a couple magazines and have some coupons and what not sent there. i even used the po for one of my bills.  The more its used for regular things the more dependability you have.

hey guys, thanks for the replies!

one other thing:  I will be opening the box in my (real) name but am also planning to have my amazon seller name listed as one who will receive mail (something like Jack's Books and Electronics).  Do you think this is a good idea to have SR packages come to the business name?  does it not even matter since I'm listed as the box owner?

again, thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me

I have the majority of my packages from here sent to my PO box with my (fake) business name. However, I also have other packages coming in the same name. The first package I received at that box was from here, and have gotten many more since then, and never had a problem.
Not sure if this one helps or not, but for larger orders international orders, I first have them sent to a mail forwarding service, then forwarded to my PO Box.
