Problems with using my real name at P.O BOX

so i opened a p.o box today and the usps guy said when i give someone my address i have to give them my name i know this is recommended for shipping and even the dark net but can't a vendor find ur real address and black mail u if they had ur real name?

what's the point of a p.o box when they still get my name?

Don't do anything to piss off a vendor

Holy shit a real problem/question?!?! Vendors are the least you have to worry about. Proper OPSEC and pgp you will have no problems. And the main point of using a PO Box is so you don't shit where you eat. Yes it will still have your name attached to it. I would much rather have something go down at the post office instead of in front of my family. If I'm getting busted at least my children/family/wife/husband don't have to see it happen. Not to mention if I'm getting busted it's going to be bad anyways.

Just use your real name. I use mine.

Do you know how many Donald Trumps there are, countless. Everyone wants to have the greatest name that ever was.

lmao thats what your worried about?? ur chances of being blackmailed from a reliable vendor r like 1 in 100,000

Thanks for the info. Does the business actually have to be registered as a LLC?

When I signed up for a PO box, I remember there being a form where you could put down a list of other people's names that were "valid" for the PO Box. They still needed your actual ID for registration, but after that you could validate other names to receive mail at the box. And these other names didn't need an ID presented.

IIRC. Can anyone back me up?

My state might be different i have to check. Did u use another name?

Just use your First real name and use your last name initial. So Like if your name is John Doe use your name for shipping John D. It helps alot and they shouldent worry about that.


[2 Points] Fsociety567:

Sounds good. Hopefully usps still sends my stuff with jus usin an initial


[1 Points] DooshNozzzle:

if the vendor having your name bothers you, open the PO box with a business name instead. fucking duh.

90% of vendors are just nerdy drug addicts, and not hard criminals. the chances of you getting hunted down and blackmailed by a vendor are very small

Blackmail is an idle threat. If a vendor tried to call your local PD with an anonymous drug tip, the police aren't going to do shit. If that worked, it would be used for petty revenge constantly.

You don't have to use your real name! I don't know why everyone thinks that.

Use a fake name.

The post office do NOT check if the name lives at the address or is the owner of the po box or house. Impossible for them to do that for every peice of mail or to have that knowlegde.

They send mail to THE ADDRESS on the mail. The name is irrelevant (unless it's a tracked and signature required order, but that's a whole different level of risk there).

Please read 5 times and understand this please!!!!

Plus, you could have a friend using your po box, maybe some new rente at your house. Etc etc.

How the hell would the littl ole post man ever know exactly what people and they full names at every single house he delivers to?!?!?!!!

Impossible!

No real names unless you need a signature!

With a fake name, you also can deny the order if there is a CD or police want to question you about it! ''No sir, wrong person. He doesn't live here.'' ''Never heard of him. Maybe someone in neighborhood messed up their address?'' Or more risky: ''He moved sir. He was some loser I was renting a room to but kicked him out cuz he was a druggie/loser/broke/no job/theif. I don't have contact with him anymore and don't want to'' (most risky as you admit to knowing him or him living there)

No none of these guarantee you won't go to jail. But what looks better in court, police with little to no evidence and mail you deny and is in a different name, or is it better in court with little to no evidence but caught red handed with your exact real name on a package of drugs? Lol. How you gunna gunna lie and deny out of that?

I don't understand people's real names on drug orders. Posted this before and got downvoted and a couple people calling ME stupid.

But everyone can do whatever they think is best.
