Lessons:

1. Use pseudo name (nickname) for shipping, instead of full name

2. Use company address instead of home one whenever possible

Just think about how many people have to access your shipping data just to deliver an order to you, the online shop, the shipping company, the warehouse, the delivery guy.

It kind of hard to imagine all of them would have perfect bank-level security.

Most people don't treat their address as sensitive information.

Many publicly accessible government records have address information.

This is why I pay for a USPS box every year without batting an eyelid. They also provide a physical address for vendors that demand that, presumably because they exclusively use UPS or Fedex - works fine.

Post office boxes exist for this reason.
