Abstract
The anonymity of a consumer is protected in mailing and shipping transactions by utilizing an alias. A secure database is utilized to retrieve the true name and address for making mail delivery or shipment. The true name and address may be retrieved by the shipper during transit, by a disguised mailing center, or by a mail distributor. The anonymous mailing and shipping transactions may include anonymous payment transactions, such as payments made from an anonymous credit card account.
