P.O. BOX TROUBLE

[boss30349]

I ordered Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible from FS Book Co. Of course, I used a fake name on the order form, when I sent in my money order of $30. I also wrote on the order form: "Please email me whenever you ship the book off" (They emailed me) and "PLEASE LEAVE THE NAME OFF THE FRONT OF THE PACKAGE"!! Of course, I used a friend of mine's P.O. Box address. HERE'S THE PROBLEM: When the book came to the P.O. Box, they told my friend that she needs ID in order to recieve the package, because her name doesn't match the one on the package!! Is there anything that I can do, or do I have to take it as another LOSS?? Please help me by replying!

Just go sign for the book!If your gonna use it at another address? Then no problems! They just wanna make sure they give the mail to the right person!

[m.g.]

they'll mail it back to fs books after 10 days unless claimed (which obviously it won't be) so you should contact fs books and let them know what's going on.

and now you know ya can't put just any old name on a p.o. box and expect a delivery which is the main prob when it comes to other deliveries...it's important the name matches with the box application on file. if nothing else, use the 2nd line and write in a company name or a "friend". they will accept that without identification as long as the main box holder has one.

while you're waiting to get this sorted out try this online book by ed rosenthal:

I can't sign for the book, because I used a fake name, and I can't show them any ID or nothing, because my name and the name on the package doesn't match.

I'll be sure to contact FS Book Co. as soon as possible!

I used a fake name just in case something went wrong, but I had told FS Book Co. to leave the name off the package. I had thought that you could recieve mail (P.O. Box) without a name on the front. If anything I should have told them to put "resident" or something else on the front. If I was to tell them to put a company name on the package, how would I verify this company? The reason I didn't put my friend's name on the form, because I didn't want to get anyone else involved. Thanks for the all of the help, and I appreciated the link, also.

People really suggest that you mail shit to people you knows house instead of using a P.O. Box and it actually doesnt sound like a bad idea .

[boss30349]

Thanks for replying orangeman, but I DO NOT want to get anybody else involved in this situation. Putting a friend's name on a package of beans doesn't sound so safe. I'm pretty sure thats how a lot of people get SNITCHED ON, when the Po-Po come knocking on their doors! I can't really trust my friends that much, when it involves a severe punishment that I have to face. Hate to sound paranoid to all of the readers, but I am trying to go about this situation in the best way possible, because I really wanna grow!

If you really wanna grow! You should get some of the best possible smoke money can buy! Hope there is a seed or two in the sack.Mine ain't got the first seed. Go from there! Use marijuana multiplication! CLONE! Take cuttings! Make sure it's a female.Make them mama's! There ya go!Much as ya want! It'll be good smoke! Olny you know what kinda high you like. Just like me with a wine! It gotta be a Merlot! Red like my eyes! Really blue. You should be able to get a P.O.Box of your own.Then there would be no worries,huh? Hell I got 1.Works well for me.I open it and get my mail and leave! That coulda been the way you would have done it.Just a thought! Good luck with the recovery!

PO Boxes are fine.
And people use them for this everyday.

the problem is...you out thought your self...It is just a book, I ordered mine used, but new from amazondotcom for 10 bucks. By using a bunch of names, you bring attention to yourself??? who opened account...could you possibly go there and get box contents from a clerk that recognizes you as boxholder? goodluck...

[m.g.]

next time you're at the post office let the person behind the counter know you need to add another name to your box. have a company name ready or the name of your 'new room mate' and print it on the line below your name. it works great and you'll never lose another package as long as you don't forget the name...

it's also a good idea to keep mail coming in that name...like any magazine subscriptions, freebies, coupon mailers, you know...sign up for all the free stuff you come across that requires a mailing address and keep that box busy!
