Help Where should I get SN delivered to?

[BabyCamus]

I've come to the point where I have to put in my shipping address for the SN I'm ordering. I live with my dad and I really don't want him opening the package by accident - it would probably be ok if I knew exactly what date and time the SN would be delivered, but I don't know how precise this particular seller is. I don't really know where else I could have it delivered to… Please help!

It's kind of hard for us to say what options you have. You'd know that better than us.

If you only have your home address you either risk it..or you don't. The only other option I can think of is there are mail forwarding services that will sometimes allow collection if they happen to be located close to you. Or a PO Box, similar concept.

Could you ask the post office to hold your mail for collection?

How do I find out if that's possible?

Possibly. Would I just ask them to hold it from a certain date? What if they wanted to know what was inside?

I don't know where you live but in the UK you can buy a PO Box online. I'm guessing most countries have something similar. Usually you have to pay to have it for a few months as a minimum so it's kind of an expensive way to get one parcel, but it's an option.

Yeh I looked it up, it takes at least a week to get one I don't know if I can wait that long

Just tell your dad, you ordered some vitamins or something and if he gets the package to put it in your room? The package will be addressed to you right? Maybe he will respect your request and follow it?

Hopefully, it's a big risk though

Don't do it if you think it is not that unlikely to happen, do you even know how the package will look like from the outside? Could end up in big regrets if your dad receives it for you.
