Mail hold, or someone else collecting?

I have two small personal use packages arriving soon, but my wife and I suddenly have to leave town for a week going to different places. Her friend will be staying at our place to watch our puppy.

My options are to either have the PO hold my mail for a week, or have the friend collect the mail since she'll already be here.

On one hand I'd rather not have it sitting at the PO all week, since that makes it more likely to notice I'm getting two letters from unusual countries in the same week.

On the other hand, it's my wife's friend and I worry that if she tells my wife a letter from Africa arrived she will tell her to open it to see what it is, or she leaves them on the coffee table and the puppy gets into it.

I'm heavily leaning towards placing the PO hold. I have had previous packages where I received 'postage due' notes instead of deliveries and had to go to the PO to pick them up and it was never a problem. I'm already trusting the PO to be professional and secure in delivering my drugs, and they've been doing a great job so far. Thoughts?

this sounds like a soap opera, as sands in the hourglass, so are the days of our lives...

Don't put the sitter at risk. Leave it at the PO. It will be fine there
