I could ask the cauyte up at the corner Valero station. Pretty sure he knows all about that kind of thing.

Or, you could ask one of your fellow USA PFF types to accept the goods and fwd them to you.

Those mail forwarding services have a store in every strip mall. Must be lots of people who change their address frequently. Some live in RV's, some have other reasons.

Here's a little "wink-wink" at the bottom of a local mail forwarder's site:

DID YOU KNOW:

Oregon has no sales tax.

Oregon's Driver's License fees are $54.50 for 8 years.

Oregon has no vehicle safety (or emission) inspections.

Oregon has no state tax when registering out-of-state vehicles.

Oregon's title transfer fee is $55.00

Oregon's TWO YEAR vehicle registration fee is:
$54.00 for passenger vehicles;

$121.00 to $388.50 (depending upon length) for motor homes;
$81.00 to $263.45 (depending upon length) for travel trailers;
$30.00 for motorcycles.

Oregon voter registration requires 20 day notice,
and you can register by mail.


So you can vote in Oregon from anywhere in the U.S. world (explains a lot)
But there are emission tests in the Portland area.

I live up in the boonies, about 3 hrs south of hyder alaska! The only mail forwarding service here is Canada post. Some people won't ship to Canada or the shipping crooks want way too much to ship. One time a motorbike jacket I ordered, was like $10 to ship to a friends address in hyder(they're no longer there), they wanted just over $100 to ship to my house.

I have used Shipitapo. They only ship to APO addresses though. But I used http://bongous.com first, a little pricey, but I got my package in Afghanistan.

My friend used http://www.viaddress.com to get a package to Afghanistan.

Don't have to move to get an Oregon address that gains you most rights and privileges.
I assume that includes paying income tax to Oregon.
