peterjmag Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I don't know much about PO boxes, but why not have everything shipped to a friend's address? Obviously, make sure it's okay with them first, but that would probably be the best way to go, considering all the complications and restrictions behind a PO box.

mjdx88 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 PO Boxes cost money, just send it to a friends house, or say F it and send it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahwahoo2006 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 You can to the post office, UPS store, or Mail Boxes etc, fill out a form and pay a fee and get a PO Box. I have no idea on the price, and I would assume you have to be 18.You could also have said items delivered to a friend's house or to your place of employment. If they are coming FedEx or UPS, you can call the carrier and have them held at the local sorting facility for you to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterjmag Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 That's another point... Some hookah retailers don't deliver to PO boxes, since they use only FedEx and/or UPS, which can't deliver to PO's. You're stuck with USPS with a PO box, which sometimes means you don't have options for faster delivery and that kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthazar Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 How about asking the vendor to label the package as something else? Food samples, tea, something that would also smell a bit ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromecarz00 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 quit smoking, show them a bunch of articles how shisha is not as bad for you, and theyll get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 po boxes are super expensive if you want the ones that will fit big packages. the regular somewhat cheap ones fit just letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookah hippie Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Umm, either ship to a friends house or ship to your house and just straight say (I am assuming you are of legal age to smoke) I ordered some tobacco I smoke and I enjoy it and it is what it is. Something a long those lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 just call ups/fedex after the order ships and tell them you want to pick the package up. My ups center is about a 10 minute drive and I used to pick up orders all the time on Fridays since they wouldn't arive until Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
