BMWrolex Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 At work I have a mailbox (along with other employees). I've ordered several watches from dealers here in the past and shipped them to my place of business. I thought the other day what the consequence would be if customs found out and sent a letter to my mailbox... Would I get fired? Would my work even know about it? Would they tell my place of business? Am I safe just shipping these things to my house?
Guest aclaimsman Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 I have worked for three major insurance companies here in the US and have always had the understanding that any company issued equipment, telephones, mail etc.. could be subject to inspection and or eavesdropping at anytime. Every piece of mail I ever received was opened before I received it and someone looked at it. That being said, it all depends on your companies policy as to wether you would be fired, I myself would never have anything personal sent to my work address. If you are trying to keep your watch purchases secret from your spouse , why not rent a PO Box close to your home or place of business. Very inexpensive and discreet! My .02
rek001 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 Yes but EMS shipping requires a signature.
MechWatch Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 I would not have anything that's considered counterfeit shipped to my place of work. I am sure there are some petty, jealous co-worker that is dying to cast me in a bad light to make themself look good. Not worth the risk.
jamoo Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 I get anything I order online shipped to work. Just make sure your office receptionist is cool

Maybe you won't get burned but maybe you will. Asking the question leads me to believe you understand you are taking a risk.
Watchmeister Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 No. Unless you have nosey neighbors sharing your mailbox and they start asking what all those packages are.
