If you are using a trusted vendor then there shouldn't be any issues with using a name that is almost spelled correctly. The post office may not deliver the item if the name that is used doesn't belong there. In fact, I will not send to a name that is obviously fake. Or phubaiblues method of finding houses/apartments that were not being rented at the time and using those. Thats just asking for the package to be returned and when its returned its not going back to the vendor, its going to an unsuspecting business. Always use and address and a name that you are 100 percent confident that it will arrive safely. If you are unsure, then send yourself a test letter. if it arrives safely then most likely you are ok.. Many vendors will use delivery confirmation. This is not tracking but a way to prove that the item was delivered. You wont have to sign for it..Basically its paying 60 cents for peace of mind...(But, you cannot use DCN on a letter, it needs to be a bubble wrap package)
