So, I was about to make an account at an online shopping platform and was considering putting a fake name. Is this too much paranoia, or is it okay?

    in my country the generic package pickup points will want to see your ID card and write it up. they may also check if it’s the same as the recipient but I’m not sure about that

      Where I am, to receive a package from mail or a private shipping company, you indeed have to show your ID. However, I always order to the online store’s own office directly (usually without even creating the account - instead asking an employee), and I’ve never been asked this. Is it stricter where you are?

      Sorry, I didn’t mean package pickup. I meant like ordering from the supermarket, for curbside pickup, for instance.
