Are p.o. boxes good to use? I can't get drugs shipped to my house although if it was my own house I would. So can I do p.o. boxes or are there any alternatives?
-
Anybody?

Sure they are, but then it can get a bit more diffucult to explain if you get caught. You will be forced to pick it up in person/pay for it. Try to get a place that accepts cash, doesnt have video cams on the boxes and is fairly crowded. Also, try to get other mail there so that LE can't clearly see it and say "yeah, this is a drug dropbox"
Sorry if that didnt make enough sense, I'm pretty buzzed

No I see what you're saying. Plausible deniability is different in this case. I'm just trying figure out if its harder for the shippers or if it causes packages to get lost.

If it is a legit Post Box, then that should be no problem. Assuming you write the address correctly, it should be no different delivery than in any other mailbox. (btw, if you're anxious some is watching a PO box, you can just let it sit for a really long while, you can't do this with your own mailbox)
Also, if they find drugs in your regular mailbox might give them a reason to get a warrant to search your house and there they might find something incriminating. I don't think it would work like that for a PO box.
(if you can, set up a PO box in someone elses name. Or maybe a fake company)

So with p.o. boxes you don't have to use your real name with ordering?

You would have to use the info that is on the PO box. Idk how lenient they are on PO boxes where you live, whether you have a fake ID or a friend you can convince to set it up for you
-
Im not completely familiar with PO boxes. But my 2 cents would be using your own name instead of a fake or company name. In case the PO box was to be watched, it'd be much easier to deny a package being sent to the wrong box then you having a key to someone elses box on "accident".. Just my thoughts.

::) ...here's a simple answer: just use your PO Box and write name and address correctly....period! Hope this helps! Peace...........

I agree that it would be a good idea to let it sit for a bit if you're worried about someone in LE watching over the box. The only issue with that is vendors expect you to finalize right away after receiving the package. Some don't track, but some do. I've stumbled across vendors who say if you don't finalize shortly after receiving the package you can't order from them again. And on the DCN for priority packages it says delivered to po box as soon as it's at the po box. So say you wait 5 days to pick up the package, well it'll say delivered for 5 days and that vendor might not be too happy.

Excellent point, I didn't even thing about that aspect :o
-
Not sure where you live but in my country you need valid ID to open a Post Office box. The major advantage with a post office box would be to avoid family/housemates accessing your mail. Also, PO boxes are weatherproof, would hate to order tabs and have them soaked in you letterbox on a rainy day.

Only way I've received mail, SR or otherwise. Lots of ppl have no choice.

You can also order Poste Restante ("General Delivery" in the US).. You'd have to pick it up at the post office and you don't need to pay anything for that.
