I want to order overseas to get some stuff and I don't want to use my p.o. box anymore, (since they are scrutinized so much). My concern is that the usps doesn't deliver to my home address, I have to have a po box, so if I was to order stuff to my house from overseas that only ships with usps, how would it get delivered? By fedex or ups, etc. Just need to ask before I end up doing something I regret. Thanks.

ummm well if the post office won't come to your place it will be held at the post office till you pick it up...no other company is going to get it to you unless the sender uses them in the first place.Originally posted by mormonmuscle View PostI want to order overseas to get some stuff and I don't want to use my p.o. box anymore, (since they are scrutinized so much).

If my post office gets any package with a street address on it instead of a po box number they will send the package back. That's my dilema. I have asked about the best way to have packages sent to me and I was told to have it shipped to my home address instead of a p.o. box because they are less scrutinized, so that's why I asked how I would indeed get the package if the shipper only uses the usps. I just didn't want to take a chance of buying stuff that I am told will be shipped to my house or will be waiting for me at the post office when my post master is a turd and will send it back to the shipper if it doesn't have a po box number on it. So I thought I would ask first to see if anyone else has any other solutions. I guess that answers my question then, so thanks.:)Originally posted by Stonecold54 View Postummm well if the post office won't come to your place it will be held at the post office till you pick it up...no other company is going to get it to you unless the sender uses them in the first place.

Interesting idea. I can have things delivered to where I work in care of, but I thought that might be risky. But then again I have had 3 things siezed from po boxes with new names and addresses, so I'm taking a risk that way too.Originally posted by Shibby View PostAn option (it's going to cost you a little more) would be to make a reservation at a decent hotel. Give them an out of town address and phone number. Have the package delivered to the hotel and pick it up from there.

you know just to make ur answer simple. I don't think at PO boxes is scrutinized anymore than regular mail. if you are not using a second person to mail to and if its going to you, you can be pretty sure if there is something fucked up, they will still get you no matter where its delivered. so the message is use safe sources and don't over extend. if you aren't sure of delivery method than DON'T. its better than a dealing with the court system for 5 years than not getting a batch of gear.Originally posted by mormonmuscle View PostInteresting idea.

I agree with stony, The post office isnt saying to themselfs "this is a P.O. box it must be steroids lets check it".Originally posted by Stonecold54 View Postyou know just to make ur answer simple.

Sending to your work sounds like a good idea but that would suck to have someone else open the package or a customs letter sent to your work.

Everybody in this town has a p.o. box, so letters are sent to the post office not to their house because they don't have mailboxes at their homes. Yes I do live in a "hillbilly" town, but at least it's safe and my kids can walk to school. (yes we have public schools).:) I have stated earlier that I can't send it to the post office anymore, because I have had 3 things seized from 3 different po box addresses and they each had different names on them.Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View Postjust have it sent to your p.o. box or find someone that ships UPS or fed ex.
what the hell kind of hillbilly town do you live in where the post office wont even go to your house.? lol

I didn't mean for it to sound like my post office is scrutinizing my packages, because they aren't. I was told on this site by numerous people that customs scrutinizes p.o. boxes more than home addresses, so I am just going off of what you guys have told me.Originally posted by ROCKETW19 View PostI agree with stony, The post office isnt saying to themselfs "this is a P.O. box it must be steroids lets check it".
