Thread: When sending to a P.O. box can i use a fake name as long as the address is correct?

You will probably not receive it. No need to be overly paranoid. That is, unless you're ordering enough for a school of Great White sharks to get jacked up on.

famous people do this all the time...they have names of assistants or also fake names so that the news/paparazzi doesn't get into their business too much....also many people have home based businesses that they use and not necessarily the name of who signed up for the box......

I've heard of packages being sent back if name doesn't match the name the PO box is rented under. Your home mail box could be a different story.

Plus, if it won't fit in the PO box and you have to show ID to collect your pack, you're out of luck.

I used to alter my real name and have mail sent to my PO box . I really don't think you will have a problem .

It's pointless. Just use your real name. It's not a big deal.

You should use your real name. This is correct ^ . You can end up screwing yourself if you don't. If you don't want to take the chance then go domestic. It is a risk you take. IF they want to find you they will whether you have a P.O. Box with a fake name or not. Trust me this will not save you if the cops are out to get you.

If the name on the package going to said PO box, it most likely will not be delivered. Unless the name on the package is someone who is allowed to pick up packages (when you sign up for a PO box you can add people).

You can add people, but they will want to have a copy of their I.D on file and they will need a signature. Otherwise, they will hold your pack or send it back. Use your real info!!

Not the case for me, I've had many packs picked up that required signature by someone else listed on my PO box and they have never seen their ID. Maybe each post office has different rules but that certainly doesn't apply for mine.
