If I Order Gear Should I Use My Real Name!!!!!!!!!

What if you just used the word Residence...Like so:

Residence
8740 Ethanate Dr.
Tempe, AZ. 65432

Has anybody tried this or is this not a good idea. At least it does not have your name on it.......Just a thought.

Thanks ZeroCool.

Rest assured that customs would find that suspicious. Same goes for person to person packages. Most sources ship from a "business" to a person because it is routine for people to order things from a company.

I think it would be safe to open a PO box in the name of your "company" and then have deliveries made to it using the company name.

Using a false name is yet another federal crime that they can add to the list.

Good point. However if you are shipping domestic that would not be a bad idea. As far as commiting another crime how whould they prove that you are breaking the law by putting the word Residence on the package. What if you live with 4 or 5 people are they going to arrest everybody in the house?

You'll be fine using your real name...

I think the term that the junk mail uses is "current resident." I'm sure that'd be fine for domestic mail.
