If my buddies and spend a month plotting a crimer in my cousin's spare room, the cousin would be complicit since he knowingly allowed us to use his property for a criminal conspiracy. The USPS doesn't know what i am sending in the mail since they are a common carrier.

Actually, they'd just try to seize his house, since proving his complicity is more challenging than proving that the house was used for the planning of a crime.
