Questions/Concers with PO Box

[fathead71]

Hey guys, my friend is going to open up a PO box at his local post office. He has a few concerns though.

He was wondering if it's a bad idea to get 2 packages from 2 different sources sent to the PO box almost immediatly after it's opened. Is this a red flag?

Is it riskier to use a PO box as well? For some reason he's thinking that it is, because of how close it is , and he thinks that the post office thinks only shady shit goes down in PO boxes.

Is he over thinking this way too much, he only gets a little bit at a time, for personal use. He doesn't want it sent to the house because that's where he gets pins and fina and such sent to.

Thanks for helping him out.

po boxes are fine. I go in real late at night when it is closed and noone is there.

get one at a mail boxes etc. type place. they dont have postal inspectors on site and they will accept packages from other private carriers such as UPS or FedEx. your local PO will not.

I think that is very poor advice. From all the information I have read, it is much safer to have it sent to a PO Box that a Mail Boxes etc. type place. Mail Boxes etc. = very bad idea.
