say you want to order coke from three different vendors all in the same day to compare who's got the best blow or fastest shipping, etc.. but when the packages arrive, how do you know which package belongs to which vendor? There are many different ways to go about this so that you will know exactly which vendor's package belongs to . i will list some techniques below. The obvious way is to just have all 3 orders shippped to different addresses (friends, family, etc) but this is not an option for some people as they may not have a PO Box or friends/relatives willing to have product shipped to their homes. so i've devised this method. which i will describe below. say i want to order a gram of coke from "happyhippy". while placing your order you enter your address as:
Jon H. Doe
123 elm st
anywhere, IL 80096
so when you place the order at checkout you use a false middle initial to indicate "H" is from HappyHippy
next order from vendor: Noriega
Jon N. Doe
123 elm st.
anywhere, IL, 80096
so this package will be marked with an "N" as your middle initial so you know that package is from vendor Noriega.
i think you get the idea by now, and there are many other ways such as misspelling your name with a different letter that can also be a marker for which vendor the package is from. this technique will help you narrow down which vendor has the best product / fastest shippping.

or John Doe, Johnatan Doe, jon Doe?
But what about Jane?

no, never use jane. that is too obvious. try jennifer or perhaps jezabel.

post man will see that you providing address with variations in name, normally people do not do that. if you ordering a lot you need quite a few addresses. if you ordering all in same address, me would be last who want to sale to you.

PMing the seller with a hint towards the return address usually works for me.
