Title: Starting a PO box
Post by: SA18 on June 09, 2013, 07:12 pm
So im brand new to the road and am thinking about opening a PO box cuz a certain female i live with is less then understanding about what someone might order from the sight lol. if i do this can i just get the smallest PO box size possible? im wondering if the package would fit in it the size is 3x 5.5 and the next size up is 5x5.5

I'd suggest getting a UPS PO Box, not USPS.  UPS will sign for any of your packages, and if they don't fit in your box (insert pun here), they'll keep it behind the desk for you. It's also usually 24 hours access.  So just get a small one, save some cash.

Can you start a PO box with a fake id?

They will not sign for international packages.

You need another form of ID and if something is intercepted, it will not protect you.  I will just add more federal felonies.

You can. But you're just adding to your list of federal felonies. I've never opened a PO box, but I feel as with everything else on here, if you're careful and do your due diligence you can mitigate most/all risk.

Good point, thanks for the heads up.

Do not jump right in to sending any all all SR orders to that one box, get multiple boxes and send regular mail to them as well.
