Hi All, 

I’ve been a member for a little while now and have received several packages from Jim and from Q, mostly from Q. Both of their services are impeccable. I had an entire order re shipped one time after all five envelopes were seized by the big C-word. 

My question is in regards to weather any of you fine people find it more beneficial to have your deliveries sent to your home or to a PO Box at a mom & pop small mailbox rental store where they provide you with a street address. Those of you in real rural areas like  people in North Dakota on a Reservation, this question doesn’t apply because for the most part you have to use PO Boxes.

Thanks for all your help and remember stay safe and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I think it’s more of a personal preference. Some people get a private PO Box b/c their roomies or neighbors steal or they’re never home. Others get one b/c they feel safer using one instead of their actual address. I honestly don’t think it makes a difference, in terms of if something gets sEiZeD or not. 

Hopefully some of the members who have one will post their opinions. Good luck!! 

 
Can we re-visit this topic?  Is there any way to obtain a totally anonymous mailing address that can be used by carriers such as UPS, etc  I know you can rent a mailbox from a local mom and pops outfit, but I am assuming one would have to show legit ID to do so (which at that point its no longer anonymous and perhaps even more risky than a package sitting "mistakenly" on the doorstep.)  Just wondering if there could possibly be another safer option besides my home address. I don't see one

I've tried without success to do just that. I'd love to know if there is indeed a method. Maybe get a fake ID.

 
@never2many a fake ID would solve alot of issues.   Certainly they are easier to obtain now than years ago - worth researching (maybe asking some of my more savvy highschool relatives..)

 
@Roxyanne how funny! 🤦‍♀️

I bet you can pass for 23! AND make sure you have a bank account to send a wire. (you may know its a federal felony to wire transfer funds for illegal gain)

Oh, well, at least we can still laugh! This cracked me up! 🤣😂

 
@alixjones2018  speaking of sending funds.  i saw my homegirl this weekend, and she had met yet another dude online who she's "in love" with, who lives in another state.  This chick....last year she had met THE ONE, then she found out he was actually in prison.  But he got out...then he was broke and wanted to come see her, so she sent him money for a plane ticket, she never heard from him again.   Anyway, I think about the lonely world we live in, and how easy it is to get swindled when you're lonely.  It's especially bad when the dudes just disappear!   (sorry for the off-topic rant...but I think it needs to be said  ;)   )   @never2many

 
@Roxyanne it happens everyday, multiple times, I am sure. You know I will say to you that you just need to be there for your girlfriends. Show her your love and support! And who knows maybe after sending a boatload of money, time and time again, she will find the one! 🤗

When you get worn out just take a little time away. Check into an Airbnb for a few days. Its what I do! 😍

  1. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  2. P @ psychedpsych: Whew, long night of giving rides. How's y'all's night go? Im debating driving for 2 more rides to hit my goal, should I keep going?
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!

  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
