UPS Store/Mail Boxes Etc Questions?????

[borrachopower]

i havent gotton a box yet..

1. i hear you have access 24/7---do they give you a key to the front door??? i stopped by the store and the door was locked..

2. seems like all boxes are the same size--kinf of small. what happens when you get a parcel that is too large for box but you "need to" pick it up overnight when the store is closed??

3. can you ever receive under a different name? can you tell the people at the store that you are expecting a parcel under "so and so name"? it seems like that would be okay or else what is the point of having a mailbox witih them?
for example..we all get " to current resident" or mail to people that lived at out place previosulty ant mail still arrives.

4. i know they will sign for parcels. however, i hear that when you pick up your package, you then have to sign their list,,,this true?


help me out bro's..im sure there are others wanting to know also.....

You get a code to put in the door and you can get in anytime---

2. seems like all boxes are the same size--kinf of small. what happens when you get a parcel that is too large for box but you "need to" pick it up overnight when the store is closed??

If you get a larger piece of mail, they leave a note in your box and then you hand them the note and they give you the mail---no signature required --You cant get it if no one is there

3. can you ever receive under a different name? can you tell the people at the store that you are expecting a parcel under "so and so name"? it seems like that would be okay or else what is the point of having a mailbox witih them?
for example..we all get " to current resident" or mail to people that lived at out place previosulty ant mail still arrives.

They require id when you set up the box and they ask if anyone else will be receiving at your box---I only receive under one name

4. i know they will sign for parcels. however, i hear that when you pick up your package, you then have to sign their list,,,this true?

I have never had to sign anything

help me out bro's..im sure there are others wanting to know also.....

Hope that helps

yes you do get a key to the front door, and if it doesnt fit theyput it behind the counter with your box number on it.

1. You do get a key to the front door.
2. I believe they have 3 sizes,,the largest would hold most packs.
3. Don't know for sure on that one,,always used real name.
4. I've never had to sign for anything, even when requiring signature,,they signed for it,,MBE never required for me to sign anything afterwards.

i had a mbe that changed into a ups store, i have a pretty good sized box that handles all but large parcels but if it's too big they'll hold it behind the counter for me and haven't made me sign yet

business

if you use a "business name", do you have to show proof? like a tax ID number?

 

[spound]

May be stupid question, but is this P.O. boxes that ya'll are talking about?

 

[borrachopower]

mbe

no, it's a store called "Mail Boxes Etc"---all stores were purchased by UPS and some are being renamed "UPS store".

 

[spound]

ok gotcha

 

[scrappy]

Just an FYI. I had a MBE box a while back and when I had an oversized box they held it in the back. They did ask me to sign their log sheet just to say that I got it. It wasn't a big deal. I found a small one with a small parking lot and got to know the cars that were always there. I always went in when they just opened or were closing and just watched out for any suspicious cars.

 

[killerdice]

do you guy use a fake I.D to open the box... If not they still can ID you right? What is the advantage between having MBE to have it sent to your home addy?

 

[borrachopower]

Mbe

i dont know if this sounds smart or not, but if they're gonna get you it will be immediately after you get parcel---they dont want to give you time to go and hide it. i guess it would be best to take the fall there and not to have them break your door open and throw your family on the ground for something you did...with everyone including all your neighbors watching..

Q

Are the ID req. with UPS and USPS PO BOX's the same? -ES

 

[BEEFarmer]

Borraccho, you are misinformed.


They will let you get the pack, then secretly follow you to your location (house, storage unit, business, whatever) then they will watch what you do, and where you go while Hiding off in the distance.

If you go inside, they make a quick call on the CB radio and get a Search Warrant for the residence you just entered.

In a matter of minutes they will have it and 5-10 armed cops will either politely knock and give you a chance to answer, or they can say "they were worried for their safety" and kick your door in with guns drawn.

Its NOT a pretty picture. For you, your friends, your family, your neighbors....

They do this, because they dont just want to get you with one pack of a couple vials. They hope to catch you with your WHOLE stash and drug paraphernalia (pins, needles in some states) and then they have a much better chance of busting you.

Plus, it makes the cocksuckers look good when your bust comes out in the paper the next day!


Trust me ,had a few close friends go thru this.


The "Busted soon as you pick it up" is BULLSHIT. Dont be so nai've!!!

you should not have to show a tax id number. say you're a "sole proprietor."

also, DON'T use a fake id, if they bust you you'll be charged with fraud as well.

i got a box today at mailboxes etc...
question: i got the smallest box available becuase of price. i know i can still receive large parcels, but they will not fit in small box so i will have to pick up during business hours at the desk.

the parcels i get with "gear" are too large for the box i got.

small box-parcels wont fit so i'll have to get at desk during business hours
large box--i can get parcels 24/7

does it matter really??? i mean, am i "safer" from being bused if i would have gotton a large box??

last question:
so as a sole proprietor, you can have a "business name" without a tax ID number???

 

[Skullfucked]

Look at it like this. Do all Ebay businesses have tax ID #'s? My teenage neighbor sells all kinds of sports cards,ect thru EBAY and had his mom get an MBE in his Ebay business name.

 

[Endocrine_Supply]

If the pack is too big for your small box then they might just leave a key in your box for access to another bigger box. Thats what they do at the Post office -ES

 

[athlete21]

So does it really matter if its sent to your house or the box? If they are gonna get ya, then they will get ya. Right?

You must be recieving many packages to need a box lol. GL
