How can I safely receive my parts in an untrustworthy area?

Getting a P.O. box might be a good idea, but just keep in mind that you’ll have to pay for one big enough to handle all your deliveries.

If you’re ordering from Amazon, they offer a delivery service where your packages can be dropped off at designated lockers in places like gas stations. That could be a perfect solution for you.

Another option could be to check if the companies you’re ordering from allow pickups at their distribution centers or local lockers. I often pick up my more valuable packages from FedEx directly.

I always have my valuable items sent to my workplace. If I'm not there, my coworkers help keep an eye on it until I can grab it.

You might consider having your packages sent to your workplace if that's an option. Many people find it safer since they can receive them directly during office hours.
