thoughts on shipping grow equipment to a PO Box

[movingtocally]

I know the cops can easily find out who owns the box if they need to, but the only other option I have is to ship it to the grow house. I have no safe addy.


Thoughts on shipping tents/lights to a PO Box?

 

[movingtocally]

definitely will remember to order from a company that does stealth shipping.

You need basically the same things to open a P.O. Box that you need to get a license... A P.O.Box you need ID still... You can't just use a fake name.. Plus you still have to arrive at the Box to get the items... It's better to just use a safe adress... So my advise is use a safe address not a P.O.Box. Also some places that house the P.O.Boxes have cameras.. So now you could be caught on camera picking up grow supplies... Not all places have these but sometimes there's cameras close to the doors things like that. Think about it for a second if P.O.Boxes were fool-proof sooo many drug dealors and trafficers would send drugs from one P.O.Box to another... You need ID to get a box plus they cost money... Not worth it..

Already have the PO box, don't have a safe address.

Order online...

Pay with a money order...

Have them ship it to a UPS store near you...

Pick the items up and get to growing...

This has worked several times for a friend of mine (multiple stores, their everywhere)..... You may ask..."But don't you have to use your real name?"
Well....my buddy didn't, and the little fucktards that were working at the store never even bothered to ask him for I.D.
Might seem a little risky, but put yourself in the position of working at the UPS store for a moment. A UPS truck drops some packages off at your store.... a little while later, some dude walks in and asks for those packages.....he (the person that had the packages sent to the store) would be the only person who knew that they were at the store.....ya follow me? So the guys working there just hand em over and tell ya to "Have a nice day".

I have a P.O. box, as well, but wouldn't recommend having grow supplies sent to it. I've had seeds sent there in the past, and everything worked out though....so who knows?

I've picked up stuff at UPS stores before. Always ask for ID IME.

same man. Just picked up seeds from my PO box, all went well. I'm curious about the UPS thing-can you just have random stuff shipped to a UPS station that's your mail? I'm curious and slightly confused by what you mean here.

No expert on this at all.. But seems packages to a P.O. Box would raise a red flag.

Is it too far out of the way to go to a store to buy it?

I could, but where do I park when I hit the hydro store, for example? That seems even more dangerous to me.

I honestly would order the stuff from a grow store and pick it up.....even if you have to drive hours for the stuff. We use a local store that will order us pretty much everything....I know a lot of people don't have one close by, but I wouldn't risk having anything shipped, around here that's how growers are getting busted.

Order and drive....I think that's the safest way.

Thanks guys...I'll call from a payphone and place an order in, then take a cab from my university parking lot to the grow store.


I have a feeling I'm going to get raped on the prices. I wish a store around here had price listing on their website.


Ahh well.

That sounds like a safe bet...

You might get screwed on the prices, but just chaulk it up to keeping yourself safe and anonymous....that's the price of doing business, bro.

Goodluck with everything. One thing I might try is when leaving the store don't bring everything right from the store to the growspot.. Just in case.. Probabily not necessary but if you did happen to get tailed by some lazy police at least they wouldnt follow you directly to the spot.. Hope it all works out..
