Everytime I get genetics shipped to Mr Swisher they don’t fucking show up. I’m assuming the post office is holding them because it’s not the name at my address but like bro that’s so sketchy.

Do you get genetics when they aren’t addressed to Mr Swisher?

Yeah I have. It’s 3 different envelopes that never made it. The one that was addressed to current resident came.

Yeah, official name on address is always the best policy. For, uh, everything. Shows them you have nothing to hide, and also way less likely to be some sort of mail fraud situation.

Or so SWIM tells me.

Make the envelope non interesting. It’s just another letter, nothing to see here.

Yeah putting clever names and this kind of stuff on envelopes is an immediate red-flag. No return address, fake return address. Theres an entire department of the usps designated to looking into these things.  Undeliverable mail goes to the lost mail department, where, under certain circumstances, they can get a warrant to open any mail to attempt to find its source or where it was supposed to go. One of my best buds was a post office manager for years.

I'm just saying this for posterity, not to freak anyone out. But also, a really great way make mail boring and un-suspicious is by having custom labels for return addresses.  Make it boring. This part you can fake but use an address that exists somewhere but with a really boring name like "Donely & Soronenen CPA llc" for example. mailman sees that and thinks "probably someones w2".

I like a return address that's a mailbox in a field. Or one time I used a post box in the middle of an open air mall.

I guess my take on it is pretty simple, in addition to what everyone else said: own your shit. You're mailing something and/or receiving something. It's nobody else's business what it is, as long as you're not making anyone's job harder. If it's a package, do they ask you to certify that it's not 10 pounds of weed? No. They ask you to certify that it's not anything liquid, fragile, perishable, or hazardous.

If you act sketchy and use fake return addresses and mailing addresses with fake names and whatnot, nobody is thinking that you're mailing some genetic material that may or may not exist in a legally gray area. They're worried that you're pulling a scam, or mailing Anthrax or nail bombs or some shit. And yeah, they have the technology to track and monitor a lot of stuff, take scans of your mail and check addresses against names, etc. But the solution is not to act MORE sketchy on the radar screen.

I had a TSA agent pull a giant bag of weed cookies out of my backpack when it just showed up as a dense mass on the scanner. Asked "what is this?" I didn't say, "I don't know, I didn't put it there." I said, "cookies." And he said, "huh, OK, cookies." And we were both silently adding the "weed" part in our heads.

Same. I guess that it's still in the system somewhere. Then again, sometimes in our neighborhood we just straight-up get other people's mail from down the block, I think it's when we get a relief carrier who doesn't feel like going all the way down to the end of the street or some shit.

I completely get where you’re coming from but I don’t think Mr. swisher is that crazy of a name to have on an envelope. And I put usernames on some envelopes before and they received it.

I do think the city i live in is prissy and I think just won’t deliver anything with the wrong name to an address. Probably to eliminate getting prior tenants bills and stuff which I have happen in other cities often.

Now calling the post office and saying they were meant for my father and should be delivered to my address is what I’m thinking about doing. But I’m still kinda sketched out.

That's pretty standard across the USPS system- they can scan mail and determine whether the name matches the address. L it can be a little random as to how seriously they take that and whether stuff with random names gets delivered, but we're talking about a federal agency here. I don't think it's a matter of how uptight your particular city is.

Coming up with a "not too crazy" name or some elaborate back-story isn't gonna help. The point is, you want stuff to not get diverted/held. If I changed my legal name to Crackhead McShitstain and filled out a change of address card, they wouldn't give it a second thought. If I suddenly randomly tried to order a bunch of stuff to "Mr. Smith" at my address, they would.

Again, if you don’t want problems, don't make other people's jobs harder. Just find someone who's willing to receive the package for you, at their address, in their name. If they're not cultivating anything, then there's really zero risk there. And that way, you're not creating extra work for USPS employees or potential problems for the vendor.

Doesnt matter if its a innocuous name or not, if its not the name listed on the address you wont get it.

I had an 8 pack of niche tropical gatorade show up to my house with my address on it, but someone else's name.

Drank it without second thought.

Its to prevent stuff like that.

I moved to another state for 4 months and they want me to go in and sign something from the irs. Im assuming they are trying to confirm my address

I get mail in both my legal name and my preferred name.

Prints go to my preferred first initial and my preferred last name.

I'm sure some of it depends on where you live and the delivery history at your address. My partner used to run an Airbnb and has had several roommates in the time that she's lived here. We also still get mail address to her parents, who have passed and this is their old house.

I don't know how the post office determines what's a valid name or not, but my first piece of mail when I started transitioning was a print.  The envelope hangs on my board and I didn't do anything special to register it.

I always use a fake LLC and a house down the street as a return address. The guy that lives there is a cop.

On another note Happy Gilmore 2 did not disappoint! My wife and I both laughed through the entire movie.

its wierd.  sometimes you cant get them to stop sending mail that isnt yours other times they wont deliver your mail bc someone mispelled your last name.  it seems like its at the discretion of each carrier.

Yeah hence why I called my city prissy. I lived a city over and here it’s the complete opposite of the last city I lived in. Very wealthy people ect. I got tons of mail that wasn’t mine in the other city. I’m just gonna chalk it up to a loss and I’ll just use my real name from now on 🤷🏻‍♂️ asking the post office for it seems kinda dumb but at the same time it’s fucking spores so it’s not like anything can be done. And I’m out of this city in about 2 weeks.


Another confession:
I used my new to me pressure cooker because it’s bigger(but has no gauge and I’m retarded). I normally let jars sit a few days to ensure there’s no growth. Well I got excited and used THE ONLY cross plate for a project I’m on in it. Well I made 2 jars one from an old batch that is good, one from this one. But looks like I lost it.. the dark kernels is a dead giveaway of some bacteria chilling inside.

Hopefully the other jar is enough for a fhatlock and I can get what I need from it.
