Shipping to the Neighborhood

I'm getting married this spring and trying to figure out a solution to where to have our presents shipped. I don't want them being shipped to our apartment and disappearing while we're at work. Does anyone know of a business locally that receives packages?

    Can you get a post office box and have the packages shipped there?

    Having packages stolen is a real risk if they are shipped to your house. I had a package stolen last fall. It had a check in it and personal information. FedEd=x wasn't supposed to dump it in the hallway when no one was home to sign for it, but they did. Delivery guy is a moron.

    I would call Fed X or UPS depending who is delivering your package and ask them if they have a depot where you can pick it up.

    I got married last May. Most of our gifts were shipped to my office. I brought them home over a period of time.

    We had all of our gifts shipped to the UPS Store at 315 Flatbush Avenue, across from the lovely Duane Reade. The folks in there are very pleasant.

    ups and some times fedex and usps guys are known to dump stuff even if they suppose to have someone sign for it.

    a month ago i had 2 packages each with stuff worth over a few thousand dollars dump infront of my door. :/ good thing i came home early.
