You should just contact the carrier to give them your number after the order is placed. Preferably you could just include your actual number as instructions for the delivery driver (if they have that. ) Doing that cuts out even more middle men and your number isn't officially logged.

    That would require for me to know which carrier would be doing the final leg of the delivery when the package is in my country, which often I don't and over time there's even new carriers popping up.

    A much simpler solution is to have a second mobile number which I give out for these things which is actually quite easy since I can just use a Pay As You Go SIM.

    Might be worth changing the number AliExpress has on archive for me, though by now if the sold or leaked that info, it can't be undone.
