Title: Shipping to Old Tenant in US
Post by: b85ZpYX on May 23, 2013, 03:42 pm
I have ordered successfully to myself using my own name a handful of times, but when placing an order for a friend via SR, he insisted, insisted, insisted that the old tenant's name be used. He apparently gets mail from them all the time.

Any idea what the hell is going to happen?

I have used this method before.  It should work as long as the old tenant has not put in a forward request.  If he has, usps sends a card to the old address in an attempt to verify.  If the mailman is used to tenants coming in an out, he probably won't notice.

So long as the old tenant hasn't paid for an address redirection, then the item will probably be delivered.  When I first started to use SR a couple of years ago I did the same thing, used an old tenants address and I received what I ordered.  Unfortunately it's not a good idea to do so if you are ordering priority because you may end up having to show ID if it ends up going back to the PO for pickup.

Just keep in mind that the vendor may not refund you anything if the package isn't delivered and they find out you weren't using a real name.

This is a good way to not receive your package.

Junk mail does not get forwarded, but packages and more expensive pieces of mail do.

If they try to do a controlled delivery, it wont matter whos name is on the package, it will matter who opens it and takes possession of the drugs.
