I’m doomed lol I should’ve posted in the Flame free zone hostiles inbound
What if you're not home when they attempt delivery. How will you collect from the delivery Depot if you give a fake name.
TLDR. Yes, give real name.
I'm going to tag every member to come to this thread and make a comment.. @RWImembers

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.
Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:
Quick links to some of the more prevalent rules of the forum.

Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:
Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.
If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.
For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.
Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me.

Use your real name, remember, you have no control over what someone decides to post to you. Maybe those horrible people two houses away decided to use your details and planned on intercepting the postie outside your house
I usually go by Amanda B. Reckondwith.
Trust me, if you adopt this alias—for whatever reason—you’ll witness a level of respect, compliance, and borderline fear from delivery personnel that you’ve never experienced before.
Of course, it might have something to do with the fact that I channel my inner Charles Bronson when receiving shipments. Adds a certain gravitas. Plus, it’s an extra layer of disguise—just in case the FBR (Federal Bureau of Replica Shenanigans) decides to get curious.

Kidding aside, it's a terrible idea to put a fake name on a shipment for two major reasons:
1. National postal services, as well as most private parcel services, could potentially outright refuse to hand a shipment over to a person not matching the recipient's (fake) name.
2. In case your shipment is import-processed (without opening the package) and customs (e.g. through the postal office) now just wants to collect a few bucks in duties, you are now officially screwed because —unless you have some other shady business going on where you need high-grade fake documents— I'm pretty sure you won't have an ID handy that matches your fake name when picking up the shipment. The other scenario: customs is holding the shipment and mailing you to collect the duties, which also means you're double-F'ed, because where I live, customs uses public national mail (which leads back to bullet point #1: No delivery of mail not matching the recipient's real name). So you won't even know what happened to your shipment in the first place and you won't get to the part where you can't produce an ID matching your fake name.
TL;DR: Using fake names for border crossing shipments can create a lot of unnecessary issues!
