If you read Janetreno's thread about interning as a postal inspector, you might recall that a seller using a "flagged" return address is one of the main things that could cause your package (even if domestic) to be opened. If the sender is known to be involved in mail fraud or some other crimes such as child pornography, that is enough cause to open the package.
The problem is that this could be quite an extensive list. If you use random return addresses who knows which ones are watched criminal addresses? Suppose you leave off the apartment number. That might not be enough ... the logical thing for anyone with a mail fraud history that wants to start a new scheme would be to obscure their return address. Big red flag.
The only way I think you can pretty much avoid this is to ALWAYS use office complex addresses, but never pinpointed from a specific suite. Of course it better look like business mail then.
