Is it safe to use my home address as a mailing address?

The problem with using your home address as your mailing address is you're giving out more information. It jeopardizes your privacy. Otherwise, I would always consider using a post office box. A post office box is definitely the most secure form of mail delivery. There's less hands that are handling that mail. It goes right into the post office box, and that's it. It can't be stolen out of your home mail box. It can't be lost in transit, and it can't be improperly delivered to somebody who has a similar name or a similar address as you.
