Do I need to be weary about selling an amp and shipping to a PO Box Box?


Guy lives in Canada and is looking to pick up in Washington State.  Any risks??

FedEx won’t ship to PO Box addresses. Not sure about UPS. I definitely wouldn’t do it. I’d offer to ship to the buyer’s nearest Kinkos or UPS store instead.


Sounds a little risky, are we talking about an amp sold for under a thousand dollars, or more?

I suppose as long as you are paid with secure funds and the buyer understands the risk of this shipping method, it would be ok to me. Perhaps have the Buyer send you an email stating that he understands and accepts the risk.

UPS store instead.
It may be possible to have it held at a ups store on the us side of the border. Or at a similarly located Fed-Ex depot.

I used to force this ’hold at depot, adult signature required’ scenario, in countries where product would go stolen nor mis-delivered, all the time.

Like Indonesia, or..the eastern block (15 years ago). Or anything outside of the major cities in Russia. And so on.

The deal is they have to go to the depot and show their ID, and their ID must match the name on the parcel.

I have shipped over ten thousand individual mid-high value parcels all over the world. ($200-$500-$3k- etc). I stopped making mistakes long ago....
