Where I am, to receive a package from mail or a private shipping company, you indeed have to show your ID. However, I always order to the online store's own office directly (usually without even creating the account - instead asking an employee), and I've never been asked this. Is it stricter where you are?

    I had a similar problem - another site rejected my mail. But when I reached to the support, they said it wasn't the domain itself - it was the TLD that they decline. It does indeed have a bad reputation, I just didn't know it before buying.

    My biggest problem with those is that they mostly have literature in Russian, so the chance of finding an English, up-to-date textbook is not that high. So Libgen it is. Plus, I am not comfortable with reading every book with essentially KYC. I do still appreciate it for Russian-language fiction, though.
