I'm getting desperate & want to ctb very soon. My initial plan was to get a PO box, but that wont work since I do not have the secondary ID required to open one. I know you can apply for the mail carrier to hold the package for pickup, but I'm afraid itll get declined. I have to put my real address or they wont let me pick it up. Am I likely to get caught if I try this?

Caught by whom if I can ask? I see no reason why they'd deny your hold-for-pickup request; according to what I read (references below) it seems totally fine. As for the SN, it's illegal for ANYONE except you to open a parcel addressed to you without due process (e.g. probably cause or a search warrant, which they won't have :) 4th amendment ftw!)

Just make sure you use your real name, make an account on USPS, and use their "intercept a package" thing to request that it be held for you. I think I'm understanding that correctly, I've never done it myself like this.

I hope you find the peace you seek.

From the USPS:



P.S.

My main fear is that it will be sent to my house & someone in my family will open it. Thank you for the info, I think I'm gonna order it tonight!

i bought it and since it was coming from overseas, it was not eligible for package intercept. I managed to get to it before my family, I'm just putting this here for anyone reading this in the future. you CANNOT rely on package intercept when buying SN

Does that mean that I have to ship it to my address or the post office directly? But they can't look inside the package still?
