i dont do it for the mailman, i do it for those lasers that scan every envelope/address that goes by... just in case, for some reason, that my name has been flagged or whatever, hopefully they wont stop the letter/mail ... this is just a theory, i have no idea :joint:

there was a HUGE thread on shipping, including a wealth of information from a smart cat named julian, search it, read it, live it

use a ghost name and the right address...just establish mail in the new name with a few dummy pieces, after the mailman recognizes that name, it gets right through...never had any problems...dj

How about talking to your mailman/woman?

My cousin Juan will be staying with me for the summer, and is expecting a few packages for the next few weeks, can you keep an eye out for them?

Fake name and you even get the gov to help out a little.

That's good and all.. but it's not the delivery person's job to intercept suspicious packages. That happens at the sorting center. Whether or not the mail man knows a certain address is expecting mail from "Jose" is irrelevant if the sender fucked up the packaging -- or even if he did it correctly. The previous mail thread does indeed have a lot of good info. I'll try to dig it up.

IME it's usually the delivery person that does discover when packages don't seem right. And it definitely is the delivery persons job to intercept suspicious packages. Its everybody's job. At least in the usps it is.

Think about it, who handles packages more? The people slinging them into the appropriate bin to be sent to the appropriate post office as someone else already posted?
Or the guy thats got to ride around with your package all day?

When inspectors do have questions about packages coming to someones address they usually ask supervisors whom usually asks carriers cause its carriers that are the most knowledgeable about the mail thats normally delivered to an address.

USPS is great as long as you C.Y.O.A.. Hint: Leave your delivery person bottled water on hot days, a christmas card with 20 bucks in it, strike up a friendly convo every once in a while, tell them to feel free to take a break on the porch. Get to know who delivers your mail, you'd be surprised at the perks that come with it as far as security is concerned if yours is cool.

Arctic, sounds like we worked at the same place!! lol

My Mail Carrier get a big ole tip round Christmas time. Started at twenty, now she gets fifty. Not only is she most likely to smell the herbs wafting through the air, but she is a sweet lady as well.

Great ideas shared in this thread..

One thing i have been told is that it is better to send priority mail, because overnights are suspicious just for being overnight. Its mostly business that sends overnight. Though i would never and have never sent anything illegal in the mail. Just sayin

Hm that's interesting.

I am posting from a remote computer and the one I am on has Norton and FireFox...no B.S. warnings here nor anything that was put on this computer.

Edit: Neither does Google redflag it...and Google let's very little slip by.http://www.google.com/search?q=http...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

USPS

Recipient/Sender names do not matter. They take it to the address listed on the package. The driver who spends all day delivering mail isn't going to waste their time checking to make sure the name of the package is the name of the resident. They'll check to see if the mail is going to the right address, and that's it. I've never heard of someone having a package not delivered due to the wrong name being on the package.

Stay safe folks.

Sometimes it's the other way around, too:

I once found boxes of furniture left @ MY front door addressed to someone else.
Name AND address both did not match MY name/address.


Edit: Sorry what happened to me was by UPS.

Recipient/Sender names are basic starting points for Parcel Interdiction 101.
