PO box forwarding?

[CAHEpiphany]

Has anyone ever opened a PO box in a neighboring jurisdiction and had packages forwarded to home address? Say I lived on the florida side of the alabama border, and wanted a PO box in alabama. Would it be as simple as opening the alabama PO box, filing a temporary change of address from PO box to my home, and receiving mail that way? Any experiences?

I’ve never heard of that but i have a feeling forwarding from a PO in a neighboring state would be all sorts of red flags?!? I once had a PO in another state and would just drive there to get packs but i never tried to have them forwarded.

Postal carrier website says it can be done, but yeah, might be worth the hour round trip to just open in a neighboring state. Not sure how/if red flags could show up, but I definitely get the iffiness. Thanks as always for your input @DoomKitty

That’s rad it can be done! It’s just my paranoia that make me think it would be suspicious.  Im not sure that many postal workers are even aware of how much drug laws vary from state to state, and especially not aware that various RC vendors just won’t ship anything to FL.  Not to assume what your friend is wanting to do or anything

I don't think postal workers give a single shit about what's in the package, given what people mail. I'd think it more suspicious to open the box and immediately add a forwarding address (and not necessarily florida, just using a similar example )
