I've been doing a lot of research on this, but I really haven't been able to get a decent answer.
I don't feel comfortable ordering seeds to my grow, so I have been trying to get a safe address. I recently attempted to get a P.O. box and was asked to present several forms of Identification, which in my mind defeats my purpose--a safe anonymous address. Also, the cost of maintaining a P.O. box for just two or three packs of seeds doesn't seem justifiable, especially if the P.O. box doesn't even offer any anonymity. I checked out the mailbox service that UPS offered, but they too wanted I.D.
My mantra has always been "tell no one", which I have always followed. There seems to be conflicting advice here, which is both the tell no one policy, and the importance of using a safe address. I would be hard pressed to explain why I want to use one of my friend's mailboxes, and even if they agreed I wouldn't feel right about shipping seeds to their address unless they knew about it.
How does everyone else deal with this? From reading around it seems virtually everyone is using a safe addy, but this would either require a P.O. box, or that they are violating the number one rule--tell nobody.
Is a P.O. box more secure, even if it requires I.D.?
