Title: Advice on shipping
Post by: emmittam-127 on October 01, 2013, 10:01 am
Hi all,

New to ordering online and looking for some advice re shipping as I'm thinking that this is where the whole process can come unstuck and most of the 'walk throughs' seem to gloss over the shipping side of things.

First up, I'll need to ship to my home address.  I don't have anywhere else for it to go.  What precautions should I take? It's also unlikely that I'll be home to collect, but an (uninvolved) housemate might - If no one is home I'd need to go back to the post office with ID to collect the item, correct?

I need to provide my name and address to the seller.  So I am to make the assumption that they are trustworthy, or is there something I should do to limit exposure?

Is there anything else I can do to limit the chance of being busted?

Oh and I am located in Australia.

Thanks muchly

Ok mate first of normal mail and express do not require signatures normally unless the vendor specifically asks for it (ive never had it on here)

Learn gpg before you order anything

I order to my house never had a issue, aslong as your housemate wont open your mail you'll be fine

Always reserch the vendor before ordering read the feedback the discuss section and also search the forums 

What are you looking at ordering I might be able to help you with vendors

Anyuthing else just ask

Fantastic.  Thanks for the reply!

Primarily I'm after weed.  But may dip into prescription meds on occasions

In the worst case scenario, also consider keeping your house drug-free if possible.
In case something goes wrong and they search your house they would find nothing and you can say the parcel was not yours.
