I tried the using the search function for this question but couldn't find a clear answer. Sorry if it's been answered before but I'm new here and still figuring things out.

For receiving packages; is it better to set up a PO box with an alias, or just use your home address and real name? 

In my experience (small town, mail delivery drivers know everyone) a package with a name not registered to a residential address will often be returned to the sender thinking the wrong address was used.

I know the feds can find out who owns the box anyway and that the alias is actually you, but would a PO box with a fake name be any more beneficial in any case? Have the sender address it to "current resident" or "loyal customer"... or, better yet, I live in a small conservative town so something like "Fellow Christian Conservative". 

Thanks in advance for any advice!!

I think you might want to consider a PO box if you start running into trouble receiving deliveries at your address,  just to change things up. Otherwise from what I can tell it doesn't make any difference in whether or not your package will be confiscated, it can happen either way. 

I'm sure the vendors will put whatever you want them to as far as that goes. Just give them your address that way and they will copy it, but if your carrier has a problem delivering something without the proper name, that could mess you up. I know my mail person puts a note every time they see a different name coming to my address. Had to add my deceased mother to my list of names.

that’s crazy, I get random mail addressed to an ex girlfriend delivered regularly, and mail to the former occupant of my residence as well as mail quite frequently for the former owner of the residence. Usually junk mail, or utility company bs, but nonetheless, they will deliver literally anything with my address on It. Kind of annoying, but something I could use to my advantage I suppose if I ever needed to lol.

  2. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  4. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  9. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  11. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  12. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  16. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  17. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  18. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  19. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
