Does the free shiiping from bambino ship to P.O. Boxes?

[DailyDi]

Usually not. You'd have to ask them.

[insanewiener]

how off?

If its a UPS Store type box, they can ship to it. Just not Post Office locations

They ship in plain boxes so unless you're worried your neighbours are going to actually open the boxes, you've nothing to worry about.

If your neighbours really are that nosey, just ask Bambino to ship it as hold-for-pickup. There's no cost for that service so they shouldn't mind and you would collect the package at your nearest UPS depot rather than your PO box.

Ground shipping across the country takes about one week. Bambino ship from CA. Possibly one more day to get all the way up to NY, I don't know.

Well you'd need to balance the cost/inconvenience of a 2 hour round trip to collect it against the risk of receiving it at home then, wouldn't you...

DD posted a good solution too - you must have a UPS Store (ie a UPS retail location where they sell boxes and whatnot) nearby? They're everywhere... I can think of at least 4 within about 5 miles of my house.

I've not done this myself but I think I've heard people here say you can have stuff shipped to your name at the UPS Store's address and then go in with photo ID to collect when it arrives (there's a fee for this, I'm sure). Call your nearest UPS Store and ask them if they do that.
