ups store mailbox size

**operationgetbig** · 12-26-2006, 06:32 PM

for domestic orders, do u think it's safe to get the smallest size personal mailbox (i.e. the ups store) or do u think you're better off buying one of the larger boxes. i know the stores only have a limited number of large boxes and they tend to be for businesses. IMO it shouldnt matter what size box you should get because if they wanted to bust you they'll wait you out either way. plus from what i've read and heard from people is that if you have a package that wont fit inside your box, they'll put it one of larger boxes and leave a note and a key in your small box. i also dont think large boxes are neccesarry because it might raise suspicion if u only receive large packages every now and then. these boxes are intended for businesses that receive a lotta of mail on a regular basis. what do u think?

Large or Small personal mailbox?

small.....if it's too big, they will leave a card saying to pick it up at the desk, and its alot cheaper

if it was an international order i might be more paranoid and get a large box jus because it would make me feel good inside. i know that if u start receiving large packages on a regular basis that they'll charge u for the price of a larger box.

Why not just get it shipped to your home address? You still have to show i.d. to get one of these ups boxes.

for the price of a large box you can almost get an apartment and pay rent!

plus, dont be making all these small orders then....order in bulk so you only have 1-2 packages a year!

I prefer the large box so that my packages fit inside, makes me nervous to have to go to the front desk to pick up my package. I like going in late at night when nobody else is around.
