I plan on ordering a few seeds from Attitude seed bank for my first grow but I heard some people have to sign for the package from Attitude. I'm a little paranoid about ordering seeds online, so I didn't really want my real name involved. (I was going to use a gift card to purchase the seeds instead of my personal debit card) I feel signing would become an issue if I used a fake name.
Should you use your real name when ordering seeds?

Using a fake name shouldn't be a problem, they never ask for I.D. My suggestion for a fake name; Barack Obama
You should use the real name of someone who lives at that address. If you don't the post office may hold the mail and you have to go get it. It's a hassle and a lot of extra attention when you don't want it and it was your screw up in the first place not using a real name. Mail is checked against records for that route and if it don't match up the piece gets kicked out.
Thanks, I'll be safe and use my real name. Peace and Pot
P.S. Should I choose "no return address" or would that be suspicious?

Ya, having mail carriers in the family, I'll tell you use the right last name, switch up initials if you like. If there's a house where the carrier knows the Smiths's have lived for 15 years, then suddenly they get a letter for Hugh G. Rection or Brad Pitt, the carrier will either get the joke and deliver it, or be a dick and mark it Addressee Not Known or UA Unknown Addressee and it gets sent back. It would happen less with parcels and the gold attitude envelopes, carriers assume that people generally don't send parcels to their old addresses, or a wrong address, etc., but ya don't risk it.
If you use the correct name, 'no return address' is fine. With a fake name it looks even more shady to the carrier.

I might do that. We get other peoples mail every week. Herbies doesn't make me sign for them on delivery like seaofseeds do.

I've used a fake name, had no problems, not just with seeds. Also, I've had things that I've ordered and wanted delivered to someone else's house and put my name on it, never had a problem. Not trying to argue with anyone saying that, but I've never had a delivery not arrive because the mail carrier didn't recognize the name. I think these days, it's more of an automated thought process, that just matches address to address.
