With your experience do you think this would be a good idea or should a stay away from it and come up with an alternative? thanks

Ive used them for over 10 years. You dont have to worry not being home and missing a package.

Alot of places wont ship to PO BOXES due to credit card fraud I've noticed. If I'm way wrong here, I hope someone will chime in and set me straight.

this site does ship to PO boxes. Thing is, will they put the package in the box or will i just get a slip and have to get my box at the desk? This worries me since I dont want to be signing for anything.

If you do get a po box you have to use your own name anyways...if not they will not accept the package and return to the sender...i have been using po boxes for the last 4 years.

Don't worry about signing for it. Some places require you to sign to make sure you recieved the pack so you can't say it didn't come and they will have to reship. If your name is on the pack it doesn't matter. You have to use your name and using a po box is fine. I have missed an order at my house and had to go to the main post office and sign for my package. I was nervous but it all worked out no problem. You are better off going with a smaller local post office.

Do you like using the post office boxes better than sending to your house? What made you go to the post office box? I have been considering it myself but I have my own home and I don't have to worry about someone else getting my pack so I just order to the house.

What size PO boxes do you guys use?

i have been using a PO BOX with great success. I like it bc it seems more controlled to me. I can go and pick it up whenever I want and can kind of get a feel for what s going on around me before doing so. Not like someone knocking at your door and handing you a box...then who knows what happens. I rent the biggest one they have so I dont have to worry about the box being to big for the PO BOX and having to go sign it out at the desk. Mainly, bc i got pick my stuff up late at night when no one is there or on the streets. I think its a good idea.

do you think the 11x5.5 inch boxes would be sufficient? or should i go 11x11? probably wont be placing any orders over $500 few vials, few orals

i use a p.o.box because they dont put the mail in the right mail box some times.p.o.box solved the problem for me.

At my post office i just have the small regular size box. If anything doesnt fit in it, they have large boxes with numbers on them, they put ur package in one of them and then put the key with the corresponding number on it so u can get it whenever u like. There is no reason to rent a big po box at all.

Nice info guys
