Discretion & Shipping coins

I've recently started buying coins off of eBay, and I have been very satisfied with the result. There's one thing that kind of irked me. Maybe irked is too strong of a word. Let's say, just shy of "irked."
All the packages I have received have been discreetly marked. If it's an individual, then the return address has only the person's name. If it's a larger operation, like "Jones Coin Company, Inc.," then they usually say just "Jones," or "Jones, Inc."
I received one last week with a return address of "Jones Coin Company." Now the postal people in my area know that these packages I'm getting all of a sudden are coins. Maybe it's narcissistic of me to think anyone but me even cares about what mail I'm receiving, or what my personal interests are, but I know there are unscrupulous people out there and I'm just trying to be somewhat security-conscious.
Jones Coin Company does a lot of business, and has perfect feedback, and I as well am very happy with the coins I received. But can I be the only one out there with this concern? I plan to buy from them in the future. Should I be concerned? What would you do?
"Jones Coin Company" is, by the way, a fictional name I came up with.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

I know Michael Dixon sends packages from Michael Dixon RC, so hey, maybe that small bubble mailer is an RC car :fuuny;
My mailman knows the magazines I get... so there's nothing I'm really hiding...
"Exactly."
