Title: Real name/Fake name - my 2 cents
Post by: TalkingHead on January 17, 2012, 12:44 am
The question of whether or not to use a fake or real name is dependent on personal circumstances. If you live in a small town where everyone knows each other I'd be very careful but in a larger town or a city I don't think the sorters at the PO know every name at every address. I think (but it's just a guess) that if the address is correct your package should arrive safely.

I started using the name of a previous tenant (who has been gone more than a year - you wouldn't want the previous tenant's automatic forwarding to their new address to still be in place - lol!) and I've had no problem. Mail yourself an innocuous test letter to that name and see if you get it. I don't like the po box idea. Then you show up and anyone who may be watching knows that "package" was for you and you alone.

Doesn't almost everyone get all kinds of mail delivered without their own name on it? Just yesterday I got some junk mail for someone long gone. You can always use some variation on the spelling of your name, too. That is, if you can look LE in the eye with a straight face and say "I never spell my name with two L's" or "I never spell Jon with an 'h'" or "My name is Joan, not Joanne."

How's this for an idea for a safe address? John Doe (fake or modified name) or Current Resident. That always gets delivered.

I feel like it's not that big of a deal in the first place. I'm already illegally getting drugs shipped to me, I don't want to trample on other laws. Any package that's intercepted could have been sent by somebody just trying to get me in trouble.

EXACTLY and put your name on it and mess up or add one letter or your LAST NAME. Thats my 2 cents

I don't think a misspelled name is a reason for legitimate interest. Maybe if you're in a really small town, but I think they'll ignore it. My post office delivers mail to the address; it doesn't give a fuck who's actually listed on the mail, but I suppose that could be different elsewhere. But I don't think misspelling the name gives you any more plausible deniability than you already had.

Theres a lot of ways to spell my last name and I get junk mail once a week with dif. spellings. (You would understand if you knew my last name ;))
