  Old-school way we used to do it was find a house no one was living in and order it to there, but usually that was for stuff that was illegal.

    I have read that this is actually a bad idea because the post office people know which addresses are vacant and know that it’s likely an illegal package because lots of people have that idea.

      Maybe its outdated. Worked really well in the 00s. Also though, I live in a seasonal town. So like 75% of houses were empty during the fall and winter, and wed do it then.
