It was more disappointing (and surprising) when I found that even most of Manhattan isn't like Times Square.
I need to be able to receive weekly shipments of hundreds of inflated basketballs. Like 100-300 basketballs. I can't use work resources for this, so having them delivered to work is not an option. I live in an old building in NYC that doesn't have a doorman, so having them sent home to me isn't an option either, because I have to work during the day and won't be able to get them delivered unless I could somehow be assured that they would arrive at exactly some time, rather than during some hour-long window (that said, a fifteen-minute window would be okay for me, scheduling-wise).

I don't have a car, so I was thinking maybe some kind of storage locker place in Queens or something that I could reach via zipcar once a week, but zipcars are like, compact sedans, so might not work, since I'm not sure they could hold the entirety of a shipment.

Any ideas?

This Yahoo answers link says local post offices might receive "large" items: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080904154457AAVaX0O

Is that true? 300 basketballs would still take up a lot of space. It would be a pain in the rear end for them to receive weekly, too.

They aren't actual basketballs, they are just of that size.

Actual answer - try to find a drop shipper. You will lose some of your profit, but they will get them to their destination(s) for you as well.

Still better than android clock

Some self-storage places allow you to receive mail directly to your locker.

I'm not here to answer your question. I'm just here to ask why you're receiving hundreds of basketballs a week. So, why?

I have to say, I'm also intensely curious as to what the gently caress is going on with the basketballs or possibly basketball-sized items.

Thanks! Looks like this is the best option.

I even glanced at their post history and feel like I have no hints :iiam:

Why are there so many? Why can't work know about it? There are so many questions.

The great basketball shipping mystery game is now afoot! Could you at least let us play 20 questions or something? I mean, the purpose of the basketballs is far more interesting than your silly shipping problem.

Are you building an underground bunker made of basketballs?
