I had mine shipped to a friend's house resulting in cops knocking on his door twice. They arrived both times after dark and drove up & down the street with their flashlights looking at addresses and grabbing everyone's attention. A neighbor even pointed out the house number to the one cop. The conversations between the officers and my friend probably took place on the doorstep for the neighbors to overhear. The one officer also told my friend his reason for the visit. So I don't recommend doing what I did. I've been using my friend's address as my mailing address for years, for all my mail, since I move around often.
