When ordering online, you don't actually which carrier will be used: all carriers would then need to have access to the database of random codes -> physical addresses... Not much of an improvement, and lots of room for failed deliveries!
Better use a PO box, or a parcel drop-off point.
Note that the actual reason businesses legally need a name and address is for invoicing, though.

Not much of an improvement, and lots of room for failed deliveries! Better use a PO box, or a parcel drop-off point. There is a great deal of improvement if only registered carriers have access opposed to every single party whom one might receive a package from, including simple private citizens. That I need to tell a man where he might physically locate me, ere he can send me a package, is a problem that need not exist. > Note that the actual reason businesses legally need a name and address is for invoicing, though. This too could be solved in many ways. Governments can easily devise systems where payments can happen without leaking this information, and that the information can only be forced to be surrendered in the case the company has a complaint of non-payment.
