Well today my neighbor came over and asked me if I was expecting cigars and said she has got a package sent to her in her name but there is a note inside that says to Ben! I send pretty much all my us packages in her name:grinFU: just in case custums gets involved so I got my trade sent to her!
Well we had a good laugh and I gave her a box of chocolate later today to thank her! Once again karma worked!:tiphat:

I don't know about karma but your neighbor seems like a wonderful person if some one did that to me I would either kicked their ass or call the police or both. To each his own I guess.

I asked her first, she said I will never go there so no problem send in my name!
I help her out and she helps me out! Also here you can not prosecute us for sending ccs. But you can be refused entrance to the US if you try to visit!
I cant speak for anyone else but i wouldnt do something like that before asking permission. Also here we are not that violent, we communicate instead!

Well your original post didn't say anything about you guys having such an arrangement it gave us the impression that you were doing so behind her back. From personal experience I can tell you they will not refuse you entry into the US simply because you tried sending CC's they will however search every inch of your person and baggage to ensure you're not bringing any with you.

Sending CCs may not be a crime but identity theft is. Thanks for the clarification.

This whole thread is bizarre. I read through the posts and still don't understand why you ship and receive using your neighbor's name and address. I'd never agree to an arrangement like that. There's all this record of packages coming in and out to and from your neighbor but none of them belong to her. Weird.

Brother you dont have to agree, the post was about me and my neighbor! Since me and my neighbor dont mind didnt think no one else would! I dont do that many us trades so it is not that many packages btw!
Reason i dont send in my name is I have heard stories about people have been denied entrance to us for this reason so that why!

I posted the thread just cause i got a good laugh and thought some of the botl here would to!

That's a brave neighbor. In this day and age, no matter who my friends or neighbors are, I don't think I'd be accepting or sending international packages on someone else's behalf. Nor would I consider asking someone to do that and accept the risk/consequences of doing that.

He he yeah she is great. I help her out a lot since she is divorced and has a bad back with a lot of stuff. Nice to have friendly neighbors.

I thought the same thing...That no permission was asked, hence the good laugh and the need to buy chocolates.

Thanks for the clarification
