let's say i get a lot of a certain type of mail. we'll use travel magazines and travel-related solicitations for the sake of this example. would it be ok to ask a seller to make the sender/return address sound like a travel agent company (if i know that they typically do return addys)? i just wonder if having all these weird and random types of businesses from all over the place might throw a flag.
Then I think the mailmain handles so many freaking pieces of mail and doesn't know who is in each unit that it might not matter.
What do you think?

sounds like a reasonable request but you'd be better asking the vendor ;)
-
Several really good, really nice vendors state that they will make the return address what you need. Mr. DDro, a few others, and I say, bravo.

yea idk - i go to PO with so many packages at once it's unwise to be mixing shit up like that.
way safer to be just one entity.
I did do that for a client once but i had to hold his package out and take it by itself to a whole different town to mail.
U worry too much - No offense but thumbs down on that idea.

Sounds like a good idea...not to hard to implement and gives a little bit of extra security.
-
Ask the vendor if he is open to the idea of a per request return address. Asking someone if they are open to an idea is really a win/win because the vendor can say no and you dont get offended.

given the level of automation at the USPS, I would be concerned that shipping an item from say california, with a return address of say Ohio, might increase the potential for hands on scrutiny.

No true, it happens all the time in business travel - when you send AV equipment from a hotel your meeting at, and the return is going to be your home office addr. 40 more examples of why....
-
I ask all vendors for tech or electronic return addresses and all have been happy to comply. Most vendors care about your security.

I wonder if that old, "return to sender, address unknown" trick works...
where you cross out the "address" add the RTSAU phrase and put it in a mailbox. Will they actually send it back to the "return" address?
It could be a whole different way of shipping if it did work. Maybe.

- suggesting a return address ...could be ok....just means the seller has to come up with an appropriate name and address.....some sellers have are used to a routine
of using "certain" details....
