I'm not sure if ALL USPS PO's allow a secondary name since I had tried to use my forum name and it got rejected (RTS). From what I've read for my local PO, I could use a registered business name that I own, although I didn't see anything that would allow me to use my user name and PO mailing details. Some PO's are different and allow aliases, not mine but aliases are allowed for home mailing addresses from my experience as well.

I agree with Krog's issues with Registered tracking, very odd how sometimes it seems like it's on time but it's actually delayed and no employee can find where it is. Huh

Digi....ask them for a form to add another name to the PO BOX. Thats all I had to do. They made me aware of it when i experimented withva diff name and the mail was returned. When i asked them why returned they said you need to fill out a form. Bingo!

Is it Form 1093? That's the one that requires any other names to have valid id's - at least in my state. .... Sad

Same here Digi - I actually asked them if I could use another name on the PO box, but they said no, it has to be my name, not even initials will work. I think you are right, all po's are slightly different. I could probably use a business address as well if I desired, but having the convenience of picking up FedEx/UPS signed packed makes it worth it alone to me. As for the form to add people on "the form", they only allow REAL people who have ID if needed, even if it's a business Huh

Yes I understand that and dont mind how slow it is..but when an item is said to be at my post office AND a notice is left IN my PO BOX AND cannot be found...THAT IS DISTURBING.

Oh I certainly agree there - I have had that happen as well, but I chalk it up to the 3 or 4 bumbling old fools running my local post office (rural)... I always got my packs though! Did they find yours ever? Tongue

Eventually they did after me harrassing the hell out of em....but that pissed me off. Angry

The one in ISC postal customs was registered mail and was never found. Sad

To be honest...

For high valued items..i pick personally..no matter where they are. Would not trust ANY carrier.

  For medium valued items..especially overseas..I use Fedex next day.

   For all others registered USPS. But I do have to say...the tracking sucks big time..i have had registered items stuck in sorting centers for up to three weeks while i tore my hair off trying to find it and spending hours on the phone with no luck. Nightmares really as i have had a reg item dissapear in an ISC facility and nobody giving a damn.

   Another time it said it arrived in my po box...was also left a notice for pick up..then nobody could find it! Roll Eyes

Thats my experience..perhaps others have had better luck.

No, I really think that is normal - Registered USPS is SLOW AF..... I was told by numerous USPS people it's because each registered mail package has to kept under lock and key the entire distance. So, assuming this is all MANUAL, that would account for the tracking slowness.... Undecided

Edit - I have to assume it's some sort of internal "chain-of-custody" .....

I only use USPS since its my favorite branch of government, and they are the only ones who give a damn if your package goes missing. I have things delivered to people all of the time using names that aren't their's. I've sent packages to about 50 different Chiefs, various animals, and a few very smart babies. The only time that you need to show ID via USPS is if you elect to pick up the package from the post office rather than having it delivered. Maybe with registered mail as well, but first class/priority put whatever name you'd like.

Possible exception:

If packages are sent "Restricted Delivery", they require ID as it must be only delivered to the person on the package. (I had to show my ID to the local postman once when smoothie sent me coins). Tongue

The one thing I also found annoying is when sending a FedEx package I have to present my drivers license...apparently this is a new thing they implemented since they had issues with people mailing illegal items or dangerous items.

SO when I send to someone requesting FedEx I cannot place my PO box and username as the sender..they actually take my ID and type in what is on it as the sender. Sad

Wow, really? Fuck that!

UPS wants too much personal info for my taste as well. USPS is surprisingly good in this area. The one government agency I actually enjoy interacting with.

Agreed, USPS is the best government service I interact with. I have much love for my man Tom at the Post Office.

I have been planing to do that myself. I'm thinking of sending the package to the security personnel in our village and let him claim the package but I doubt he'd also agree. Because he might find me a suspicious guy to deal with being not sent to me makes him think about I'm dealing something illegal. To avoid such, the very best option I can do is just buy the product in cash to a physical store.

In Memory of Zepher

I think one good way around this (in addition to other suggestions) is to develop a relationship with your UPS store (or another mailbox service provider) and say, hey I'm so and so and I do business as "X and X Company". Then you can get a physical street address that is not a PO box, does not require your name, and has 24 hour access (if you decide to go with a subscription to one of their box services). Some of them will do this on demand for $5/package, or they will gladly rent you a box. Unlike the PO, you can always call them and get quick service. They will re-route packages, etc.

I figured people here would have had some experience with this... my wife thinks I'm super paranoid LOL. I tell her that my level of paranoia is the bare minimum for crypto...

You aren’t paranoid. There are members here that have used personal information to extort and harass users of these forums. You are very justified in your thinking.

Yep..agree. Better safe than sorry mate.
