UPS 21+ policy is the gayest thing since fishnet t-shirts

When ordering from Northerner you just have to have a bit of faith... like the pope.

My getsnus order was fine, apart from the overall price being about double what it was pre-pact, and the UPS crap. It arrived in full in 3 days.

I'm 20 years old, so I would have to get one of my friends to sign it for me? That is ridiculous, since the age to purchase tobacco is 18. I could see if there was a 21+ policy for shipping alcohol, but the age for signing an order consisting of tobacco should be 18. Our society continues to baby every person that is not 21 years old, even though we're old enough to serve our country.

100% agree im 19 and by luck I still live at home. Why 21 really?

I agree that the 21 thing is crazy, since the legal age to purchase is 18. Good thing you're old enough to vote, because you can vote against all the pols who voted for this, including Obama, who also signed it.

Here's a link to how your state representatives voted in the House. The bill passed unanimously in the Senate. November is coming and I'm voting for anyone who runs against these bums.

Would I be able to do this? Could I order stuff to a New Hampshire UPS store and pick it up later? I live in Mass. though but near the border (and due to some weird law, Mass. can't get mail tobacco shipments).

From an earlier episode of Taxachusetts Sux:

Earlier tonight I called a UPS Store in RI and found out something interesting:

You don't even have to get a PO Box ($105/yr for a small box!!);
they have package pickup for $3.00 and they'll even sign for your package.
Great for the occasional parcel! You'll have to make sure your CC
company has the UPS Store authorized on your card as a shipping
address, though.

I'd call an accessible/closest UPS Store in the next state over and get
all the details; I think these are franchises (à la Mailbox Etc) so there
may be some policy variances.

You only need give your CC company the address itself; no c/o or anything else .. they'll just add it as another shipping address.

YMMV since all stores are not created equal.
