    People who use a PO box to order

    You dont have to post a reply but if someone could just send me a PM b.c i dont want anyone to risk anything. Im just curious how people use a PO box do you use a fake name b.c if you do what if you have to show your ID to pick something up. Also do you use your real address as your primary or secondary address just any input would be helpfull thanks guys.

    I use a P.O. Box so that I can use a fake name and fake address. I'm not sure if customs flags names and addresses but this is meant for that purpose. Your package gets intercepted and you get customs letter then you close the shop and get a different address and use a different name next time- start fresh.

    If they wanted to get you, they still can as there is no privacy when opening the mailbox account. It's just that you can specify different(made up names on the account) that can receive the mail as well. It's to maintain anonymity if you will.

    You must be under 20 then?

    That's very unusual as they usually want driver's licence and maybe additional ID, like a credit card that you are paying with. Then again, maybe US is totally different then Canada?

    If you get caught using a fake name it makes even more federal charges. A po box is no safer. Its just good if you want to hide it from people who live in the same house as you.
