If the actual goal is "the merchant/sender doesn’t get my name and home address", a PMB / CMRA (private mailbox / Commercial Mail Receiving Agency) is the boring, widely used option. Which one depends on your location / destination. "Snowbirds" and digital nomads use these all the time: you give the seller a street-looking receiving address, they ship there, and you pick up, forward, or have it held. That breaks the link between the sender and your residential address. It is not complete anonymity. Most CMRAs want ID. How much they want and how picky they are varies a lot by country and by shop. If the threat model is "sender doesn’t know my name/house", a CMRA is usually enough. If the threat model is "nobody on earth can tie this box to me", most CMRAs fail that test (unless you have an alternative ID for such cases ;) )

I tried about PMB and CMRA before, I'm simply looking for other alternatives where no one know who the other party is ("legally" speaking). And everyone gets what they want.

For example, I heard cases in the US of dudes using $ notes' serial number as receiver, so when they go to USPS to retrieve them, they use that as "ID". Weird stuff. I feel the only one needed to know about this information is the one responsible for the transport.
