I'm planning to have some mail order items shipped to a hotel in the US where I'll stay for 9 days. I want to take advantage of this because shipping charges will be cheaper than having items sent to Japan, and I won't have to pay for the customs (only clothes/bags will be ordered).

Provided I contact in advance the mail order company that they ship to hotels and that I calculate correctly for the items to arrive prior or at the beginning of my stay, things should go well... in theory.

Did anyone have any problems so far? Thanks for sharing your experience.
