Best way to receive mail and parcels anonymously

Hi Daniels,

In Europe. Do you have any advices ?

Finding a reliable dead drop location is quite complicated. I considered using a locker service, but the issue is that the sender needs to specifically select this option during shipping, and it's not always available as a standard choice.

To be transparent, I'm looking for a solution to receive financial documents and cards (like bank cards) anonymously. Are there specific services or methods that could help ensure privacy and security?

Looking forward to any tips or suggestions.

Abandoned houses are everywhere also in Germany, that is the best, cheapest an most secure solution to what you are looking for. Really easy to get about it if you take actionand don't just wait for a solution where you can keep sitting behind your sreen.

That's what I normally recommend. Better use apartment blocks in cheap areas. There normally is at least one empty mailbox you can occupy.

You then have to get the misses mail cards and sign an authorisation to pick up parcels from the post office.

How can I easily find an abandoned house and ensure that it is truly unoccupied? Are there specific steps or methods to verify its status and legality before considering any action?

Abandoned houses are usually not a good idea as neighbours etc. will be alert. What you could do is use abandonned multiparty buildings where all windows and doors have been barricaded to avoid illegal occupation and just use the mailbox.

I don't really know where to start looking for abandoned houses, but the places I've found them usually don't have neighbors around to see anything. There are plenty of areas with houses set back from the road or out in the countryside where nobody notices a thing. You can just set up a mailbox with your name on it and wait for your mail to show up.

It's that simple. If you're worried about being recognized, you could always wear a balaclava.

Social skills anyone?
You can easily find a nice old lady willing to receive some mail for you.

COVID masks look less suspicious in certain countries.

That's a good one, totally normal now a days or if you live in China even more normal.

there is nothing to worry about if you find the house someone where far away from other houses. I pass at least 3 abandoned properties every day where it would be easy to setup a post box and a name.

Use your eyes, very simpel.

There are abandoned houses everywhere!

If you drive out of the cities and into the countryside, the mountains, or whatever kind of landscape there is in your country, it's easy to spot them. The first thing to check is the mailboxes, do they have names on them or not? If you're unsure, you can observe the house for a few days.

I've also sometimes just put up a mailbox at a house and waited a few weeks to see if anyone took it down. In one case, it was removed, which I could note from my car while watching with binoculars.

Otherwise, this strategy works pretty well.
