I knew this day would come to pass. I too had relied almost exlusively on the price match of Adult DVD Now. Not just for the convenience of low price and one order/one shipping. But out of self preservation b/c they are one of the few dvd vendors that will ship to Utah where I abide at the moment.

But fortunately I'm about an hour away from Wyoming and am considering renting a Mailboxes etc there. I get up to Evanston Wyoming about twice a month anyway to buy booze, visit the local pornatorium and especially during horse racing season, it's like a home away from home.

Has anyone used a Mail Boxes Etc type box before. It's my understanding that you can call them and they will let you know if you have mail delivered there and they will hold boxes.

I've thought of this as a way to spread my dvd purchases around to a variety of vendors and have dvds delivered from vendors who won't ship to Utah and maybe use this as a place to order from overseas with uk vids and Euro-fisting type stuff.

Is something like this my best bet?

hey torris:

i used to have a regular post office box and will be getting one when we move to maine. it was incredibly cheap (like $40 for a year.)

i've only been in a mail boxes store once and was not happy by how much they charge for shipping items - they're making a killing.

Cut-throat is more likely.

I've got an MBE and it's fine. It's pricer than the post office, but they accept deliveries from UPS, etc.. something the USPS won't do (yet).

They do allow you to call and check if you have any mail which is a nice touch.

I don't see any compelling reason not to have one...

That's why getting a regualr US Post won't really help me since they won't tell you if there are deliveries to your box. Jeff, with your Mailboxes acc't is there a limit on how long they'll hold a package? And definitely accepting UPS or Fed Express is a must

TIA

Maybe you can send it to a friend, and he/she can forward it to you. I think it would be cheaper that driving (time and gas money)

Torris, what the hell are you doing in Utah?

Actually, I think they offer that service for an additional fee. I was at the post office the other day (damned 1 cent stamps!) and saw that they were raising the rates for the PO Boxes, but that "call in service" was available for an extra fee (like $100 per half year or something.)

I have no idea if that is on a per post office basis or if it is a national thing...

I'm not aware of any limitations on how long they'll hold something... and their website isn't much help in that area...

Subverting evil! Actually good job, cheap mortgage g/f has better job. I keep meaning to leave b/c of the bullshit but don't care to start over again in a job where I might be expected to work hard. The dilemma of being "management". It's been too long since I've done any real work of consequence other then attending meetings all day

Torris, I hear ya, and like you said, an hours drive twice a month is a small price to pay for the cush jobs. And, you no doubt have operated quite well so far with a low profile, if not an outright alias, so my hat's off to you.
Tell me, if you know, what Utah's er..position is on dildos,
and various other "marital aids", as they're probably called there, when referred to at all. Someone asked me that, and I assume it's the same as for porn. thanks.......DB

==========

DB - Dildos are considered lethal weapons here. But you can carry loaded guns into churches and schools so that's pretty typical of how fucked up this state is. BTW - just kidding, but since I never visit any of the local smut shacks I'm not sure if they are legal or not. I think they are. Our local head shop doubles as the local sex emporium and I'm pretty sure I've seen sex aids there.
