Thread: P.o boxes

I remember a dude here last year I think it was...who gave the source a different name on a big order and could not get it from the post master, for obvious reasons. Ends up the package was returned to the source. This bullshit is what can call attention to EVERYBODY!!
Yes, do whatever you want. Or...like the OP, ask for advice on how experienced brothers handle these things. Your choice.

Thanks brothers for advice

Use a real address, and your real name. Been doing it for years with zero problems. Including international.

^^THIS.

Fake names can flag packs. Name should match address for both sender and receiver.

A different name can be a safety net for yourself. If anything is suspicious, don't open or accept it. If you're paying with anything that has no trace to you, can't be held on you.

This is wrong and increases your and your sponsors risk. Any sponsor with OPSEC worth his salt should ban you for this practice if caught.

Please educate yourself. Here are some good resources.

I have read about LE conducting controlled deliveries on a P.O. Box. It's obv more dificult to do, but it has been done.

Not to offend but that's hilarious. I have a direct connection with sponsors on this board and many others who would completely reject your claim. In fact, most of them don't ask for a name, they provide one. Don't worry though I don't plan on ordering any DNP. Maybe that's how you handle your shipping but the vast majority do not.

Implying I should be banned by the way... little excessive.

None taken. I am open to other points of view, particularly if they are educated and grounded in fact.

I would welcome the opportunity to understand any factual basis for how using a fake name increases security. How does that work exactly? Do you know of any specific instance where a fake name has gotten someone off the hook?

Our shipping speaks for itself. Domestic no sig averaging 2-3 days. 100% delivery track record.

Just to be clear, by "bannned" I meant as a client for providing bogus shipping info, not banned from the board. This is standard practice for many vendors.
