Hello everyone, my action may seem silly to you, but I'm not asking you to comment on it, just to answer my questions regarding the post. So, I want to win back my ex-girlfriend, but I'd like to first send her a package through the post, a small gift, just to see her reaction (we have mutual acquaintances who can tell me what she thinks, anyway) but I would like to do this anonymously. My question is: if I go to the post office with a small box containing my gift, am I obligated to put my name and address on the package? I know that if the package gets lost in the mail and I don't provide my address, it will be impossible to retrieve my package, but I don't care; I'm trusting the postal service to ensure my gift arrives at its destination.
Thank you for your answers!
See you soon!

yes, of course, it's mandatory because of security reasons; otherwise, customs is required to search through it and thus damage your packaging... and with the security issues related to terrorism at the moment... it's just another obligation

  Thank you for your answers, but does the recipient always see the sender's name on the package?

  Yes, that's the goal... At worst, you put a false address and name of the sender, it's silly but valid, the post office typically doesn't ask for proof. The risk would be that if the package gets lost... you won't be able to get reimbursed because your official papers won't match the address you put on it (the trick is to put the address and the name of a friend of yours) a friend that your ex doesn't know at all, of course.

  They don't ask for an ID to prove that I'm Mr. Truc, who is sending this package?

  That's why I suggest you ask a friend for help, using their name... a cousin, a female cousin, it doesn't matter, as long as your ex doesn't know this person.

Hello,

It is mandatory if the package weighs more than 150g; otherwise, it is not. However, if you choose the mailbox option, the package is delivered to your mailbox, so your details are not required, but there is a risk that the package might be opened to check the contents for security reasons.

Considering your situation, the best option is to drop the package directly in front of your ex's place (if possible).

  Since May 2018, the package is no longer of interest to anyone.
  Besides, the ex-girlfriend has already found other lovers...
