I had difficulty deciding which forum to place this in, so my feelings won't be hurt if the thread gets swiftly relocated. Let me emphasize with some zealotry: I am not asking for a member / sponsor / third party-whatever to assist me in bypassing the illegality of spores in one of the 3 states. I know it's illegal. I understand the consequences of asking for services. This is NOT what this thread is about.
Having said that, I, unfortunately, live in one of the three states. I'm sure you could browse some of my posts to find out which, if you really cared. Anywho, the last time I ordered from a sponsor (Hawkseye, very good, by the way!), I had to arrange for my package to arrive at the closest UPS store across one of the borders. Not entirely a big deal, and I'd do it again (with better company: driving 6 hours round-trip with a d00sh is ill-advised). However, I doubt my poor little fella of a vehicle has it in him to make such a voyage without dropping some cash on a bit of maintenance. But that's neither here nor there.
My question is will a similar mail-carrying store forward a package received in my name to my residential address? Once it reaches, say, "UPS store X", it's out of the sponsors' hands, yes? They are not liable. I'm assuming "UPS store X" has no idea if they're shipping a bundle of pornographic magazines, some discarded toenails, my spores, etc... Correct me if I'm wrong. That's why I'm here.
Again, please don't respond with uninformative or off-topic posts ("move to another state, go hunting for fieldies"...). I know it sucks to live here, given my affinity for this hobby. Please don't rub it in. Again, my intention here isn't to ask in any way for a community member or sponsor to assist me in breaking state laws. I just want to know if the above plan seems sound and safe. If I can avoid driving all the way across the state line, I'd love to do that.
With respect, Gonkulator.
post script: preliminary apologies to any moderators for the extra work they'd have to put in if indeed they move this post elsewhere.

I've heard of a site called shipito.com that acts a an intermediary for shipping products outside the US. It might work for your situation and I'm sure there are plenty of services like this one that could send something anonymously to your address from a neutral location (not the spore store).
