No fun. If I order something that requires a signature, I probably won’t be home at the delivery time to sign the package. So it gets dropped off at the post office, and when I go there to pick it up, they also ask for an ID matching the name on the package.
Admittedly, I’ve stopped trying on this end since I order to my actual home address, which would be trivial for any company to trace back to my name. I try to find everything I can in a physical store and pay with cash, the rest is usually niche hobbyist electronics that would never make it to a store.
Also used to be that you could go into a physical store, buy a prepaid credit card with cash, then spend it online. But fewer and fewer websites are accepting those prepaid cards.
