Reliable Delivery Address
 

Anyone can provide some hints on how to get a reliable delivery address for buying things through a stealth account or accepting returns on a stealth account?

So far I have considered:

1 . Royal Mail PO BOX or...

2 . My UK Mail - Your Own UK Mailing Address, Better than a PO Box! Receive all types of mail at your own UK street address. mail forwarding service, uk mail forwarding service, Your mail is forwarded on to you, international mail forwarding, internation

Anyone used either of these, are they a good choice?

I have never gpne down that route, but I know if you use the big firms on the first page of google, chances are the addresses are already burned.

Also, ebay does not like po boxes. Sellers can opt to block anyone who orders to one.

For buying, I would utilize click and collect. Or create a brand new buying account and just order to your real address at checkout.

eBay does not like PO BOX for main registration address, but your main address and delivery address do not have to be the same. Based on what I read about using PO BOX as a delivery address does not cause issues with eBay, however as you said some sellers block such addresses.

Although an easy way to bypass that is to write the address using some symbols such as POBOX can be written as P0B0X. "0" instead of "O". Then you dont get blocked from buying.

You say that you do the "click and collect", but they will ask you for ID in your nearest Argos, and it it's a stealth account, obviously they will not give you your item because you have no ID to show them?

You don't need id for click and collect. They send you a code, all you do is quote the code.

They don't ask for ID at Argos (yet)

When they first trialled it ID was required, though when it went "live" they dropped the ID requirement (obviously would have cost Argos too much in training staff what ID is acceptable and how to spot duds)

Wow, that's news to me. I think my problem is solved then.

Will buy a few cheap bits and bobs first to test it out, and pick em up in my local Argos.
