Hello,

I would like to send a package by mail, but as a minor (17 years old), I do not want to disclose my parents' names or their address to the sender.

I wonder if, as the sender, I could provide the address of my pickup point instead of my home address, and if it is possible not to give my last name.

Thank you in advance.

Hello*


Yes, the post usually doesn't verify the identity of the sender; in general, you can use a false return address, but you need to inform the person and make arrangements like that beforehand, otherwise they might claim they haven't received it, and then it could cause trouble for both of you...

Okay, thank you very much.

The problem is that my address is my parents’ and I don’t want the recipient to have information about them...

Are we really required to provide our name and postal address? Because I initially thought that an email address would be enough and that they would contact us in case of a problem, but I’m afraid that might not be sufficient, right? In which case, I need to arrange for someone else’s address because I don’t want to reveal my parents’.

Thank you in advance.

If you arrange with the buyer and you make it clear that the shipping address and identity are fake because you want to remain anonymous and they accept those conditions, then it's fine.

The post office doesn't check anything, they just cash in, you can put anything.

It's your good faith against that of the buyer.

For example: I won't send anything if I don't have the money, they'll have to wait. On the other hand, if I have the money, I'll send it as quickly as possible.

I only have good reviews about the shipment and packaging, and that helps.

Oh, I didn't know you could put false information and that they don't check, that's cool. So even if I put my address, can I use a fake name? And the same for a pickup point?
