I realise that this question is subject to local trends (and I’m in the US), but I encourage people in other countries to submit their methods!
How do you accept packages/deliveries anonymously? Of course, there are mail redirection services, but a third party which corroborates with different parts of the chain can likely figure out your identity and what you have purchased/have incoming.
I haven’t been able to find a good solution to this yet, and I believe the new rule in the US is that the receivers identity must be reported to the government? This (or a variation of this, I don’t remember) is a recent event.
Thanks!
It’s public knowledge. If they want to know where you personally live, they could look it up via the ways I previously mentioned.
Heck, even if you never visit their sites, they could easily get big lists of names and addresses that may include you: all legally.
Any attempt at fighting that is likely not to be fruitful. It’s basically security by obscurity, you’re trying to complicate it via one way, but they can just go another (more obvious) way if they wanted.
It’s more like I’d like to not link those purchases to my identity
Ah. Then just buy a gift card in cash from CVS, etc. Then use it on an alternative account and delivered to one of those pickup boxes.
Still sketch though lol.
