WetAndWarmDL Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I heard long ago about some type of shipping to a post office in your name that you could go pick up. I just moved to an apartment out of my parent's house, but with my new apartment I share a mailbox with 2 other guys... so I need some way to get it shipped to a post office or something like that, I called the UPS that's inside a staples nearby, and they said they do not do this, and he wasn't sure if a "normal" UPS did this either. Help would really be appreciated!! I want to buy something besides Depends, please make it happen! I want to order some Abena X-Plus's, I just want one package, and would also appreciate a good, safe, cheap site to order from also that has unmarked packaging, thanks! Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 ADISC has a thorough post on this in their Wiki. HOW TO ORDER ONLINE This question is asked at least once a week. Link to comment
WetAndWarmDL Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thank you, I promise I didn't just blindly ask that, I did spend a good amount of time researching it unsuccessfully. I do know forums, I'm on plenty of car ones, I know how annoying questions like this are haha. Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Searching forums is hit-or-miss period. I searched this myself, hoping to be able to point you to a pre-existing thread (and I've seen tons of them)... didn't have much luck. Unfortunately the trend I've seen with people in general over the past 5 years is that lots of folks like to use the internet and the plethora of forums as a crutch. Instead of thinking critically and gaining knowledge (and the confidence that comes with it) for themselves they simply turn to the internet, ask "How is X done." and poof the magical box gives an answer. Makes it a little too easy IMO. 1 Link to comment

WetAndWarmDL Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Ok, so my billing address for my debit card is my parents house, i tried entering my new address instead in case anything is sent to the billing address (ads/promotions, or maybe confirmation of order stuff), so before i enter the real address, i wanted to make sure NOTHING is sent to the billing address.

Sophie ♥ Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 P.O. Box. That's what I'd do if I was all secretive about my deliveries. -Sophie Link to comment

I can do that "Hold for delivery" thing for free, but before i order i need to find out if the billing address is sent anything by drugstore.com about this, if not ill order now, if so i need to get a prepaid card or something.

Sophie ♥ Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Don't you have a friend you should ship it to, someone who knows...? Then pick it up from them? (That would be my Plan B.) -Sophie Link to comment

willnotwill Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 PO BOX won't accept UPS or FEDEX. I have a box at the UPS store that will take anything (they send an email when a box shows up). Many will do it on a per shipment basis, or you can get a small box there. Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Drugstore.com has never sent me anything in the mail... most companies don't use mail advertising anymore. Link to comment
