What im wondering is if I open a P.O. box in my real name & my order comes under a fake name will it still end up in my box? ------------------ BROS BEFORE HO'S | ||

Your PO BOX will only accept the name that you signed up with. ------------------ Great Information on Injections and Syringes | ||

It depends, in my experiences packages show up under different names. Sometimes, I get mail for the previous renter in my box. Some post offices, will return the package to sender if the recipient's name does not match the name under which the P.O. Box is registered | ||

of course you will recieve all mail sent to your POB but just to play it safe adjust your last name a bit ex. johnson-johanson they probably wont even catch that and you cant be accused of sh*t. | ||

I dont use a recieving name even remotely close to what mine is listed on the PO box, and I still get things. Then again, im also constantly getting mail for previous owners in it. | ||

You should be able to add names, both of individuals and company, to your P.O. list. | ||

Use a fake company name and list it as one of the names to recieve in your p.o. box. That way you can send things care of mr.so&so at fake company. That way if anything happens you can say that the person is not you and that you were fixing to put return to sender on the package.... ------------------ | ||

No matter what the name is on the package, possesion is illegal. Changing the name will do you no good. If you get caught, you get caught....no matter the name on the package | ||

here is what you can do, if your name is Mike Matison, have the package sent to M. Matiso, the post office will usually take it as a mispelling of the name and deliver the package to you anyway. | ||

an friend who works for australian customs said: Package + P.O box + postage stamp from mexico* = drugs But if you get it delivered to your house the fed's have a direct address to hunt you down with. Ive been told that P.O box packages get opened more open cause its pretty sus. *any country notorious for drugs. | ||

Did you say P.O. box packages get opened more often? ------------------ BROS BEFORE HO'S | ||

Packages that get sent to P.O boxes are more likely to be opened.... Thats what i have been told. But thats Australian customs though. (i found this out when i went to my friends christmas work party...the one who works at customs) not really a reliable way to find out....but its pretty logical. I dont know what USA is like | ||

If source is over-seas then they will open package. | ||

quote: Stray letters and packages get by sometimes but in general, the name needs to match the box holder. Go ahead and use another name but don't be surprized if your package never makes it. But I know you go to Mexico so you wouldn't be the expert on this anyway. | ||

Does anyone have even a rough estimate on the percentage of packages that get opened from overseas- specifically europe? Or does it depend on how they're packaged, destination, etc.? | ||

my experience is that they will turn it away with someone else's name unless you specify that you want other names to arive at your box. 4rt | ||

use your real name and sign for it. Just send it to your house, this way they can't grab your your ride. Also, if they want to get ya, a little name misspelling ain't gonna stop them. Or, send it to your chicks place. |
