I can't pass up the 30% off and need to place a large order..what if he sees the box before me? he is the type of person to open someone else's mail or dig through their bedroom. I am 23. no heart to heart talk changes it he will always see this as his house he took away porn dvds from me. I could say it was part of my dr.mercola cookware order? i don't know what els I could say it was...

Does he open your mail? The box is discreet and doesn' have anything indicating to eden on it at all. The return address is Web Merchant's Inc.

It's none of his business. You could even say its xmas presents and he can't see!

I am 23 and live at home with my dad, too. Luckily Eden's shipping labels are very discreet and they always say they are from "Web Merchants, Inc." so no one has a clue what's inside. If your dad asks, tell him you ordered some underwear from an online retailer because it was on sale, or tell him it's beauty products. If you tell him it's cookware, he may ask to see. Tell him it's something that you know he won't be interested in seeing.

It is a federal offense to open someone else's mail. I believe it is a felony, actually. Eden's packages are very discreet.
just my two cents

Ugh that sucks! Yea, Eden's boxes are really discreet. Do you have a friend who'd let you ship it to their place maybe?

When I was living at home after college I got a PO box actually Maybe that would work for you. They're pretty cheap.

If you think he might open and confiscate it, you might want to consider shipping your packages to a friends address or - can you rent a PO box from your post office?

I have no way of transportation to get to the post office anyway and no one to get me packages before they close...I could ask my boyfriend but I don't think its a good idea he lives out of town and his mom or someone could get the mail and lose something or someoone could get nosy and decide to take it...my boyfriend lives with his mom and his brother takes things from him..

guess I'll take my chance and if he does find some of the contents in my room or even looks in the box? what do I say? let's not talk about this? oh ya santa brought me that or something els?

I could look into the po box later...maybe there is a way to solve this..maybe Icould send my mail to the friends house he stays at a few times a week he does pay like $50 rent a month to sleep there and use the shower..

Tough situation! People need to start minding their own business over there heh.

I remember the first sex toy package I got in the mail. I didn't live with my parents but my Dad just happened to come knocking on my door before I realized it was sitting in my mail box and he had soooo many questions about what it was.

Worse yet that company wasn't very discrete, and their logo which was the outline of a naked woman and store name was on the return label!

Ahh yea. I understand that. We don't have a car either - thankfully the post office is just up the street (maybe a 10 minute walk) but we live on our own and my landlord actually knows that I review products (don't think they know exactly what tho LOL) so they're cool about my packages being left in the office 'till I can go pick them up.

Sorry you're having to deal with such a nosy dad! *hug*

I'd have to walk like 5 miles to and from no way LOL..I sent a message to the guy whose house my boyfriend stays at sometimes if he wouldn't mind me sending a package there once in a while and said my boyfriend will put it in his van to get it to me. then I will bring a large purse and put the contents in my purse then bring it to my bedroom.

good idea. I will if I can't send it to his friend's house. I know the guy too but we're not friends really. I could say it's manager stuff or idk he bought a christmas present and isn't taking it home so no one finds it.

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do! Eventually you'll be on your own and you can have delivered whatever you want whenever you want

Contributor: SexyTabby SexyTabby
Explaining you are an adult and have boundaries is out of the question? Would he appreciate you going through his private stuff? Even living in his house there should to be a level of respect.

The packages have tracking...yes? Make sure you are home when they are due to arrive. Lacking that...I don't know. If he's that rude he'll probably just come in your room and try to find it anyway if he doesn't like your excuse.

Suggest you get a locking box for your private things.

idk when I'd be on my own I got severe Ibs and can't work many hours I make 900 or 1000 a month. My mom is on disability and I still make a few hundred more than her thats not an option. I keep running to the bathroom all day everyday before work sometimes I barely get home from work and I'm stuck in there when I'm tired a nd want to go to bed..extremly light sleeper and sensitive..not going to work well in an apartment anyway no where to live and rent went WAY up the oil feild money in this town places raise prices too high for alot of people because ther are oil field ppl willing to pay alot. I'll stay here at my parents where all I have is a phone bill and a few other things and some spending money..or else I won't get to ever buy something off EF or even something nice I want really bad

I get stuck in the bathroom alot with ibs unable to get the door last time we got a sorry we missed u and I was home stuck in the bathroom..and I work 5 days a week...so most likely he will find it first..but I could have my mom on the lookout if she's even home to put it in my bedroom and put a blanket over it or somethin...ya i've already told him all that and talked about how I don't open your mail would u like me to start as one example..

He can't keep his nose out of things or keep anything to himself when I had been dating my boyfriend a few monthes my bedroom was clean and a condom wrapper was on the floor I missed it and he freaked and got mad and even told relatives about it..I was 19

I honestly had a very similar problem when I lived at home.
I believe Eden has the option of where to drop off the package and when you could always personally pick it up at the post office, or have it left at a back door.

I hate nosy ass people. I have the same problem

"Whats that? Where are you getting all the money for these things?!"

"None of your F.U.C.K.I.N.G business! Its a Giant horse dildo I got to check my prostate with!"

I have also been known to tell them its crack, herion, dope, smoke, and even used needles... In all seriousness, I tell them its a DVD, and since they hate Anime, I tell them its that.

Its annoying, I suggest you tell him to stop opening your mail because its none of his damn business. If he gives you grief about it being his house, stand up and tell him that there are still laws in this country that apply even to his house. Is it worth kicking out his baby girl on the street over?

What I am going to do when someone asks me what I got, I am going to throw them the box (lightly and not to far) and tell them to open it, if they want to know so bad. It'll put them in a position where they don't want to be a dick. In my case that is.

I really feel for you, I suggest that you go ahead and buy what you were planing on buying. It is your money.

So all in all, he needs to stop being nosy...

I can't imagine living with someone who would open my mail. That's just incredibly rude. Maybe just say that you're expecting a package and that it's Christmas presents and to please not open it.
10/29/2010
Contributor: Beth D Beth D
My parents would never open my mail but they get seriously pissed when I don't tell them what I get, to the point where they tell me it's their house and I'm not allowed secrets. My first big order, I planned it while they were out of town. That worked out perfect. The next order was smaller and I figured I could make something up if I had to. Turns out, mom was napping when it arrived, half an hour before dad came home from work. So I sneaked that one in, too. That was lucky

As for your father not respecting your privacy to the point of opening your things and searching your room? Maybe you should tell him exactly what it is and then turn it around on him for butting into your sex life. Scare him away with sex toys, lol.

If that doesn't work, find where he keeps his porn and brandish it at him to demonstrate his hypocrisy

I've seen you post it a few times but I'm not sure what ibs is. I'll have to look it up. I wish you the best of luck with ibs and the nosy daddy. Maybe your Mom could get the package and talk to your Dad too. Definitely get a locking cabinet for your stuff to keep Daddy outta it.

Just say they're Christmas gifts for the family so no one is allowed to peak!

Also, it's pretty messed up that your dad goes through your room. Yes, it is his house, but you have a right to your privacy. I could understand him snooping if you were an out of control drug addict or if you were anorexic and hiding jars of food you were supposed to eat under your bed, but you're not. He needs to back off.

I second this. Even if he doesn't take it seriously, it's a real crime. And if he takes away any of your property, that is also a crime. I say it's time to tell him to back off next time something like that happens. You're an adult and should get the respect you deserve.

But I do understand the awkwardness. Tell him it's tampons and I bet he'll no longer be interested in opening it up. Works on my family lol. Though they'd never open my mail or try to take my personal property from me. I still want to avoid the awkward moment.

Worse case scenario, get a P.O. Box that all your packages go to. But really, it'd be nice to save the cost of one and just get them shipped to your home.

Do you work somewhere where you could have it shipped to you? Since EF is so discreet, that shouldn't be a problem. Or, just keep tracking the package, and try to make SURE you are there when it comes..

If you've order this stuff to arrive at your home, and he's seen the unopened box but you've successfully gotten it behind a locked door, hide all the contents (and the packing slip!) and then leave the box in plain sight, full of the most boring looking thing you have available. For example, I order a lot of books on amazon, so I would use those. Do this every time a box comes, and hopefully he'll lose interest.

Neither logic nor the law will work on nosy family members.
