Am I too sensible about receiving damaged games?

Yeah we had one when I was younger which worked great. But most online retailers nowadays won't ship to a PO Box anymore. I could have the local post office hold everything but then I physically have to be the one to pick it up, and they hold it an extra day when they do hold it

I don't know what it's like in the states, but I get everything sent to mine here in Australia without issue. It's only couriers like Fedex & DHL that need a physical street address, everything else (incl bills, etc) goes to the PO Box, that includes Amazon & other major retailers.

My PO is like 5 mins from home & my missus usually checks it every morning. They know us there too so either of us can sign for the other's packages.

Having a PO Box works for some people, not so much for others.

Yeah it's a little different stateside. I've got a post office about 2 miles form my house and would love for them to do it. But the extra day delay is the main killer for me. I agree, I could ship packages USPS, but not all sellers offer it.
