Let's say, hypothetically, you live in a place that has a mail room for all tenants. The mail room receives all incoming mail and always signs for packages when they arrive. When a tenant comes to collect a package they must present I.D and sign for the package regardless of whether or not the mail room signed for the package when receiving it from the mailman. Now lets say this tenant doesn't have an alternative address to order packages to, is it still reasonably safe to get SR packages through the mail room, or should said tenant look for another way to receive packages at all costs???
I can't think of any reasonable alternatives to the current situation but input from anyone will be greatly appreciated!

you should move

Do you have to sign even for all the normal letter mail you get every day? Most/all normal items from SR vendors won't be in big packages. This situation does add 1 more person who could become suspicious of your mail habits, though.

Yes I should have mentioned regular mail and very small packages are put into mail boxes which are in a seperate room, no signature required and no one sees tenants getting their mail. The only indication they would have that I received a letter would be that it would no longer be in my box. I guess I'll have to stick to ordering things that can be put inside envelopes/very small packages.

Yep, you could always send a note to your vendors in the address box to contact you if they intend to ship anything other than a letter-size envelope, so they know your situation. I can't think of any reason to need a box unless you are dealing in bulk in which case you are probably smart enough to find another place to ship it to. :)
