PO Box any Safer than home address

Opinions? If they ask you to sign at your front door you can refuse, but what can you do if you are at your PO box picking it up. What do you guy's think?

When you get it shipped, make sure where ever you are ordering it from does not require a signature. Shipping to a PO box, can raise an eyebrow. I've always had "items" shipped to my home address, and the mailman leaves it in my mail box. I've never signed for anything before. You can also have the shipper request special instructions like leaving a package at the back door instead.

That being said, alot of other members swear by having a PO box, and would never have anything shipped to their home address.

for the most part, if the law wants to catch u, they will... ive heard of mail boxes etc having a 24hr pickup which seems safer but in general if they want u they will get u....

well if you have the PO box in a different name that would be better, You can just deny that you ever ordered that item cuase it has someone elses name on it.

I usually misspell the shvt out of my real name, but put something pretty similar so if I smell controlled delivery or some other DEA shenanigans, I have a pretty solid defense, such as someone must have gotten me confused with someone else, etc. I dont know how well this would work if they caught you with the unopened package in your possession, but for controlled deliveries I think it would stand up.

Thanks guys, I probably will use my home address although the sources site had recommended a PO Box because of search warrants are harder to get that way. I am only shipping a personal use stash and my residence would be clean.

I'd just get it shipped to your home, with a fake name on the package. Make sure you don't have to sign for it. Just get the delivery company to leave it in your mail box or such.

Whats the worst that could happen if it was shipping to your address with or without a fake name (assuming you didnt have any stash at the house) and with no search warrant? IE.. what if you refused to sign? then what? lol...ive shipped to my place many many times and always gotten a little nervous..i will be getting the Rick collins book "Legal Muscle" soon though...its just too risky these days...
