Using a PO box is a pretty good way for receiving goods privately
Seems like they all want some form of ID to open up the Box.

They do. This will generally be a decent privacy improvement, but realize if asked any PO box provider will immediately turn over all of your personal info. I view very similar to a VPN, yes you probably get some decent general privacy but you do centralize into a trusted entity that the government can dox at will. It can be a reasonable tradeoff depending on your individual concerns and priorities.

Maybe not perfect but it would be effective for everything but a state level attack (police).
Weigh up the risks. If you really have that much bitcoin you can probably pay someone to buy it and pick it up without giving your details.
