For UK people - Do international orders always come through Royal Mail?

I never really ordered internationally, and was wondering, if I do, will it get delivered through Royal Mail 100%, or it could be some other courier?

I plan to not to use my real name as I am not comfortable giving that to the vendor. If it is royal mail it will be posted through letter box or left at the pick-up point, but other couriers probably would ask me to collect it, which I wouldn't be able to with fake name.

So want to know before ordering, from other UK people.

Don't use a fake name, what are the vendors gonna do, report you to the police? I'd be more comfortable giving out my name than my address.

If they send via their public mail system, it'll arrive through ours

Ordering under a fake name is about the dumbest thing you can do

Don't use a fake name, it's just raises suspicions. And if it's through royal mail then it will go through your letterbox unless it's signed for and there's no one there to sign for it, or if it's too big to fit in your letterbox. Can just go and collect it from your local depot if you get a "sorry we missed you" card
