honestly im so over amazon wishlists like i spent three hours yesterday trying to figure out the settings and it still feels so sketchy. i just hit a big milestone on my tiktok—finally hit 10k followers which is insane!!—and everyone is asking where they can send stuff to celebrate but im actually terrified of someone finding out where i live. my logic was that there would be some simple way to just hide my shipping info but amazon is such a pain with the whole third party shipping thing and i've heard horror stories of people getting their addresses leaked anyway even with the privacy boxes checked.

so i was thinking about getting a po box but i checked the prices here in seattle and its way too expensive for me right now because im literally a broke student lol. my budget is zero dollars. like actually zero. i looked into some of those dedicated creator wishlist sites like throne or wishtender but im worried about hidden fees or them taking a massive cut of the gift value or even just being hard to set up. i really want something that just works and keeps me anonymous without me having to pay a subscription just for basic safety. i want to be excited because my community is being so sweet and i want to do an unboxing on stream but the anxiety is killing the vibe.

im just getting so frustrated because i want to be excited about this milestone and share the hype but instead im just spiraling about privacy and doxxing. i tried looking at some other apps but they all seem to have some kind of catch or they only work in certain countries. is there actually anything out there that is 100% free for the creator but still hides the shipping address and my real name completely from the buyer? i need to get this sorted before my next big stream on friday or im gonna have to just tell everyone not to send anything which would be such a bummer for the celebration...
