  • It’s public knowledge. If they want to know where you personally live, they could look it up via the ways I previously mentioned.

    Heck, even if you never visit their sites, they could easily get big lists of names and addresses that may include you: all legally.

    Any attempt at fighting that is likely not to be fruitful. It’s basically security by obscurity, you’re trying to complicate it via one way, but they can just go another (more obvious) way if they wanted.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but most people can lookup most other people’s addresses in the US for free (or cheaply) on websites like whitepages.com. Even without that, if someone is very determined, they can visit the record office for the area on get public info on you, which also likely includes address.

    What’s the benefit of paying such a premium for an anonymous delivery if your address is likely already available?

    The only thing I can think of is if buying something sketchy, but I’m genuinely curious here.
