Questions on shipping to multiple people who live in the same house

So this is actually three different questions: 1) Say there's a really large house that has like 20 or more people living there. I order two packages at the same time, both from the same place, but from different vendors, each going to a different friend there. If the first one to enter the country were seized by customs, would they more thoroughly check all other mail coming from that country going to that address, even if it was going to a different person?

2) Let's say there's a smaller house, like a 3 room house. An order placed to one resident goes missing in the mail. No CD, no love letter, the tracking just stops updating after "Inbound out of customs". Would it be a bad idea to order another package addressed to the same place, but going to a different resident?

3)Have any of you had packages just go missing in the mail, with the tracking no longer updating, no CD, no love letter, no nothing? What causes that kind of a thing to happen? A lucky fiendy mail man? Do you think that worker would be actively looking for other mail addressed to that house?

Thanks for any answers!

You burn drops (addresses), not aliases.

Sometimes packages do go missing - maybe it fell off the tape, maybe it got stuck somewhere a worker did not see, so its possible for a few day delay. You certainly do NOT call and ask them to check. If a pack goes missing like this for longer than a week you dispute the order and consider it lost.

Does the tracking always do that? If you're in a house with that many people who also order packs and know I do too, I'd be looking at them first.
