I've read in other threads that using a fake name is not a good idea, but I'm not exactly sure why. I get mail that isn't mine all the time - addressed to names of people who have never lived where I live. Does using a fake name raise a flag for the postmen who deliver the mail (in this case, I would be alright using a fake name) or does it raise a flag for the people at customs? Do the people at customs actually have the time to check the international mail and make sure that the names and addresses match up?
Also, I heard that postmen steal a lot of conspicuous mail that comes from the Netherlands. Is this true? The very high number of packages missing from the Netherlands to the states makes it seem like customs can't be responsible for confiscating them all. (it's my understanding that they can only check a few packages at a time out of manymanymany).
If anyone has knowledge or experience on this subject, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Gravity
