So from what I can tell, as long as the fake person signs the slip left on the door to notify you that a package is available for pickup at the post office, and my real ID shows the same address as the package was sent to, I'm in the clear?
I assume most of what I order on here will be in an envelope that will fit in my mailbox anyway, but I just want to be sure that anything too big to fit in the mailbox won't be lost to me.
Thanks for any input you have!

Regular post via Canada post if its small enough to fit in your box shouldn't be a problem. Any express post or higher shipping service(I think) will require a ID at pickup. If your name doesn't match the package you might have trouble picking it up, at least that what I've experienced (eg having family who lived with me going to pickup packages addressed to me from online, ebay, etc)

weird, i've had the opposite experience. my wife (who's ID still shows a different last name from me) picked up a package addressed for me (and i hadn't even signed the slip) and they gave it to her no problem - no signature or anything.

If that's the case the I'd say you are safe. I really think shipping, like many things in the world is not fully unified and it really is site specific. For example, where I live, a big bulky delivery will be dropped at your doorstep with nobody home, but in some high theft areas -they wouldn't dare leave a package at a doorstep because the neighbor would steal it.
Goodluck and hopefully your delivery/pickup is successful.
