If they have your real identity, why not just ship to your own house in the first place.2. Fake ID means if post is intercepted, you also have to face mail fraud charges as well.3. There are more anonymous ways to get a mail holding service, like a virtual office or private mailbox or pigeon hole system.OK, here's my rebuttal.1. A police officer can put on a postal worker's outfit, knock on your door, and ask you to sign for a package. If you have a P.O Box, and an undercover officer knocks on your PO Box, the best response he'll get is from the residential Post Office mouse.2. You don't have to use a fake ID, just use your real one. The OP said the reason he doesn't want to ship to his house is because his dumbass roommates will fuck with his packages. 3. Many areas don't private mailboxes or anything like that, especially in rural areas. I just went to google and looked up the nearest location of the closest private mailbox to me, and the nearest is 234 miles away.Re 1: I assure you, that if a controlled delivery is going to occur, then it's going to happen whether or not it's at your P.O Box or your mailbox. It's not a DEA entry team you need to worry about, it's those tenacious Postal Inspectors, they are not 'mere mouse', they are good at their job like bulldogs who refuse to let go. They've been known to stalk their own employees for weeks on end, when having received a tip-off about some misbehavior like theft or bag disposal.Re 2: That's fine, my synopsis was a generalization, not a prescription. I suggest he get better housemates though.Re 3: Yes, that sucks. You have to work with what you've got in many cases. A larger town or city is certainly a distinct advantage in many ways with respect to being anonymous in person and on TOR.However, I would say that's no reason to give up on your security. You just got to think outside the box a bit more. One of our Australian friends posted an interesting photo recently. Think 'holiday homes', think 'apartment block pigeon holes', think rural postal collection boxes at the end of each tract of land, often huddled together in one location in a row for the post man. Otherwise, think of having a delayed reaction service. You order to a address such as a virtual office far away, and pickup once a month on your regular trip to the city etc. Slow, but safe and you have to plan in advance a whole lot more.If all else fails, setup your own virtual office company for a couple of bucks... Not worth doing for a buyer, but an interesting proposition for a vendor.
