  Back in 2011, there was this e-mail from Pobox:
  

  To All Our Valued Members:
  We have a new Shipping Address for regular mail. Regular mail is used for 'small' items that can fit in the regular white USPS mailing envelope. This is so we can better sort 'small' items that are sent to us. Have all regular mail shipped to:
  
  Your Name
  15721 Index St
  Granada Hills CA 91344
  

  
  
  Now, I cannot find this address mentioned in their website.
  
  Anyone tried sending 'regular mail' to this Granada Hills address?
  
  My experience is ... I sent a small item (USPS, no tracking number) last year to this address and it just disappeared. POOF. Vanished without a trace. Black hole. Item never encoded with Date Received or Packed, although I e-mailed Celine several times. I just let it slide since it was not a high value item.
  
  Anyone else had the same bad experience with this address?

  Yes, I also had a similar experience. Sent a small item to that address and they claimed there wasn't anything received in that address.

  I just wanna share my experience with JAC Ocean Cargo. I had 2 boxes delivered to them on March 22 and was thinking that it will be shipped the following week. Apparently, they informed me that they will need to wait to fill up their container before the vessel ships out. This would only mean that they do not have a regular schedule for their shipping. My boxes were then shipped out around April 6 which is almost 3 weeks after they receive by 2 boxes. They then informed me that the ETA for the boxes are on the 1st week of May. I checked with them today thinking that they would be able to give me a status of my boxes but unfortunately, they were not able to provide one. What they know is that the ship that contains my boxes would first pass Taiwan to which they confirmed that the ship hasnt arrive there yet. I read the other posts and unlike PO Box or Forex, JAC Ocean Cargo does not have a way to track boxes. This is really frustrating to think that I chose JAC Ocean over PO Box or Forex last March thinking that they are more reliable even if their prices are a lot higher than the other 2. To be honest, I really like their "Air" serivce which is their specialty and I think they should just stick to that. I hope my experience will serve as a lesson to all those who wants to try JAC's ocean cargo service and Im still hoping that I will get my boxes soon. Thanks everyone!

  I bought a Nixon jacket, i think mas mabigat pa jacket ko sa 2pcs polo shirt mo, pero i used FRS Air, and i paid 600pesos only

• shoeslut on May 17, 2013 02:15 PM

  Really. THANKS A LOT!!!

• cgren_incognito on May 17, 2013 02:25 PM

  atleast now may idea ka. pero depende pa rin yan sa price sakin kasi 60USD lang for a 1PC hoodie. kaya siguro mura din yung cost ng shipping ko

• shoeslut on May 17, 2013 02:31 PM

  ^^napa google ako sa nixon ganda pala ng mga jackets nila. i'm tempted to buy din at ipa ship (barko) na lang, hanap pa ko ibang damit din.

• cgren_incognito on May 17, 2013 02:36 PM

  haha. maganda, binili ko is Woodmark Pullover, yung may NIXON print sa harap. 55+5 shipping. masarap kasi wala ganyan dito hehe

  ordered shoes from nordstrom and had it shipped via pobox. no problems encountered. saved me 50% compared to buying it here in manila.

  ^ ordered a pair of shoes from amazon via pobox. one shoe was the wrong size. had to return the pair by FedEx/Air21 to meet the amazon deadline for return. e-mailed the scanned FedEx bill of about P3700 to amazon which then reimbursed $87 and sent a new pair to the pobox address.

  Same experience here -- a bunch of iPod Touch skins amounting to around $50. I even emailed Celine beforehand asking if I should have the items sent there since I knew for a fact it would be sent in a plain white envelope. She advised me to have the package sent to the Granada Hills address and the item just disappeared (never marked as received/shipped) and according to Celine, when I asked to confirm before having my items sent out, the package never did arrive at the GH address. Thankfully, the merchant was kind enough to send a replacement but I asked them to just send the replacement directly to the Philippines at my expense. Item arrived in about 2 weeks.

  Have also ordered shoes (shipped through pobox) several times without any problems.

  Guys, magkasunod ba yung tracking numbers? 10 days ago pa kasi dumating yung mga boxes before that pero yung akin wala parin. Really paranoid right now. May 7 pa "Received" yung status.

  Just received an email a few hours ago from TJ Carino of POBox US saying they just received the small item addressed to me (which I had shipped a yr or 2 ago, couldn't remember exactly when) from their Granada address. Hmmm...
