How do you buy online while protecting shipping address privacy?
Many times I want to buy cool physical stuff on Nostr using lightning, but don’t want to share my shipping address. So I look at it, imagine how dope I’d look with it, think about how happy the creator would be receiving my stats for their wares, and then scroll on. I’d like to support more people, but don’t know how to ship safely.
Any tips?

There are some mail forwarder services that can accept mail and packages and then ship it to you on demand. I don't know if any accept sats though.
Some people use it to circumvent stupid country restrictions when shipping.
It’s a little expensive, but you can get a PO Box at a nearby UPS store to receive online purchases.
Ask the post office if you can use their address because you are moving to another house or something. You can then receive from there.
PO box will keep you private to the sender.
AFAIK, any of the services would require an ID to setup, and put it on some goverment forms, so it's not 100% private, but still an improvement.
Some of the private providers offer you additional services too. Remailing for example.
