The secret is right in you're yellow pages under mailbox rentals there's at least 30 in mine.

How do you get boxes with stealth names to a mailbox rental with your real name on it. I tried this and they make me give them my ID and will not let me add a second name. I have told them my niece or nephew will be picking up some mail and they tell me to have them open their own box.

You get a business mailbox and use your business name, you still give them your real info though. Then you can act as an agent of the business.

Make sure you ship via UPS. EMS is risky IMO. I've had EMS products seized by customs. They sent me a letter, which I obviously used to wipe my a$$ with.

I live in central US. My trusted contact in China sends me boxes of good weighing up to 25lbs on a regular basis via UPS. It usually goes through Alaska and then lands not too far from my location. I get packages as fast as 3 business days from China. Average is 5 days. All packages scan at customs and are released immediately every time. UPS is the only way to go for safety IMO.

How much is UPS fee from China to USA?

Using UPS, sender and receiver donot pay any tax or tariff?

I have never had to pay tax on anything. I'm not sure what the sender labels content as - box just has normal UPS label.

Shipping with my contact is cheap. I spend as much on UPS shipping as EMS shipping.

I've had bad luck on the past couple of shipments shipping via EMS. Five of my last six orders have been seized from Customs. They went to three different addresses. I will now only shipped via DHL as my suppliers will ship DHL for free if total weight is over 21 Kg (approxiate to 46 pounds). Screw shipping EMS. Never had any problems with Customs until last 6 orders.

As i said before,if you are in the middle of USA,your packages will be very easy for seized by usa custom via EMS,DHL is ok,but if you are in the uk,sometimes you need to pay taxes if your packages over 15kgs.

At the end of the day,if customs see you have a large parcel they will look into it..always get a tracking number and keep checking it.I had to wait 3 weeks before my parcel was released from customs and that was after ringing them and sending them an invoice etc.then i collected it after an £80 service charge...pm me for more info

great suggestion, just a quick question
 

When you order do you have to write the business name and then your name and then the address to the business mailbox in order to be able to accept the package or can you just write the business name and the address? Thanks in advance...

Stupid questions. Sorry.

How do you pay for any fees that you might incur for boxes you order from China?

Has anyone ever had any success dropshipping items from China? Since they return address on the box would be from the dropshipper I assume.

You usually receive a letter outlining extra fees that have been applied.

Sometimes this is the case if the seller in China marks the items up as having a high value.

If these are Vero items they may or may not notify you as to action they will be taking.

You write your busines name (in place of your name on dhgate, leave the business name section blank) and address when ordering as long as you have business mailbox with the same name and address of course

^ Are you guys talking about UPS Boxes? I really need a new way to recieve my shipments as my address has been black listed by customs ( they seized the last 2 shipments), and I'm running out of favors to ask from friends and family to recieve the shipments. Would I be able to have 200+ lbs of goods sent to a UPS box? or is this too much. I really need a new way to bring these in from China and get through customs. Any help would be appreciated.

uSE A MAIL FORWARDING COMPANY.

I don't know if I would order 200 lbs of goods, 21kg. is good enough to get the free dhl shipping, packages can still get seized by dhl if they're too big.

you need to shipping the goods from hong kong.and the possiblity of to be seized by usa custom will be less than from mainland.

All the goods do come from Hong Kong. And about the 200lbs, thats how much I started to sell recently. As far as the shipping forwarding company goes. Would DHL still have anyway to see my address / name through the forwarding company?

Does this person use a mail forwarding company? The only ones I was able to find were for freight shipments.

DHL express

If you don't mind me asking, Is that a residential or commercial address?

Its all about the seller in China. Some sellers just do not know what they're doing and your packages will be seized everytime. An experienced seller will know what documentation needs to be submitted and how to write it to get your items to you safely. ;)
