Great answer Skipper. The consequences of being caught with a large order will be bad news if you get involved in a controlled delivery by LE for what ever reason (although these are almost never reported here, I'm guessing that controlled deliveries mostly happen to people with a record and/or people who already have the attention of LE). Also, keep in mind that a truly "large" order is going to be broken up into a number of deliveries by the vendor anyway. They don't want the attention any more than you do.
There are other factors coming into play here too Tigertail. For instance, I live in a small town and, if I'm getting lots of letters from far away places, eventually my mailman is going to start to get curious. Fortunately, I use two delivery addresses to receive, so it is typically several months before each PO I use see another letter with funny looking stamps being delivered to me. This may not be as critical in a large urban area where your mail could be delivered by a different postal carrier on any given day, or if your mail is delivered to a box and face time is rare.
Finally, tryin333 states one of the rules that everyone should take heed of, and follow (I have always used it) "never make an order for more than you can afford to lose".
