Default P.O. Boxes

Posted By: Mike

If you have a very good reputation in the industry and some references, or you only buy lower end stuff, go for it.

I personally will NEVER ship anything to a Mailboxes etc. or UPS store if the buyer has anything but a stellar reputation. I also won't send a check to those addresses. It's a scammer's paradise for obvious reasons and I've seen some good scams and been personally involved in an FBI investigation of a scam involving these addresses.

Anyway, if your plan is to get a non-post office mail forwarding box to make your life easier - be aware that people might not be as willing to buy and sell with you as you think.

It raises a flag every time I see an address with a number at the end: "1234 Street Name Road, #16".
