Title: Shipping to my house, to my work, or do i get a PO box
Post by: xjtruk on May 05, 2012, 09:39 pm
hello!  i'm new to all this SR stuff.  i'm hoping to get a small amount of a class A substance and just have a little taste of my long-gone "wild life".   

i'm not sure where to have it sent.  sending to my house seems wrong.  sending to work actually seems more practical - but i could get fired/arrested.  i guess i should get a PO Box but that seems like a bit of a heat-up and a hassle.  i'm in the north east usa if that makes any difference.  and i'm hoping for a quick turn around - wife and kids are leaving for a bit in a few weeks :P

any tips or insight is most appreciated!

Send it to your house.  Encrypt your address and make sure the seller your using is very reputable and honest.  Sending to your house is fine.  It seems really strange and sketchy at first believe me but once you get used to it you'll see no other way.  You have nothing to worry about especially if its a small personal use amount.  Have fun and be safe.

Get it shipped to your home, work is just out of the question, a unnecessary risk. A PO box could work but if you cant find one that doesn't require ID then there isn't much benefit (apart from your family not finding your package)

Say: "I'm expecting a package in the mail, don't open it darling, it's a surprise"...and then go buy her a gift, wrap it and give it to her... :)

+1, make it either golf, fishing, or hunting related to make most wives lose all interest

nice - the boring hobby thing is what i was thinking - but not sure if it's coming as like a "letter" or a fat envelope or a package.  nah'im'sain.  i think i'm going w/ "i'm expecting an adapter for my mixer" but if it comes looking like a letter...

i had a thought.  the previous occupant still gets mail here.  i was thinking to use her name.  but i'm a bit worried since it's "priority" USPS, they will finally get it right and this chick would get a funky surprise.  any thoughts?

Not sure about the US but here they only redirect previous occupants mail if they've set up a redirect (and they charge for this, so they never forward on without it otherwise they'd lose money...).

If she gets mail there frequently then that could be an idea (although, if you're ordering something that looks like a package and she only ever gets catalogs, it might look suspicious - but you should still have plausible deniability if you've got your security on point).

It depends what you order if it comes as a letter or a package. If it's weed, it usually comes in a bubble envelope. LSD etc. is more likely to be a letter. No clue on powders though dude, sorry!

Good luck.

I can just hear it now: "Mr. Walters, please pass by the front offcie to pick up your drugs!" Sorry, couldn't resist.

This is one of those cases where I'm happy that in my relationship, checking the mail and taking out the trash is considered my job!  Sorry no real input for you other than just tell your spouse.  That's what I did at first b/c mine doesn't really care what I do. 

The whole drug dealer knowing our (her, more specifically)  address is what she freaked out about.  Apparently she thinks your all mass murderers and heathens waiting until the midnight hour to come and break into our home!  Now I just say I got it from a friend and we're all happy :)

Haha, xj, Im in the same boat with the wife and kids.  This time, I ordered mothers day gifts online, and told her if she opens them I'll never surprise her again!  Luckly I order an obscene amount of vitamins/supplements online, and the vendors will put a supp company return address on the package.  Its always a gamble though!  I've pondered the same questions i.e. where to send myself.  What you could do is send them to a friends house and get them when they arrive... but if your a professional like me, you may not have many friends that would be willing to do it!  Good luck buddy.

hah - i'm at a small software co so i actually sign for ups half the time myself at work. 

Chemie - i don't get much mail and tbh i don't have many friends!  relatively new in town and yeah it's basically all work, kids, work, then sleep if i'm lucky. 

anyway, seller said it's coming in a "letter".  using old occupants name since her mail still comes here rather frequent.  i think it's a pretty decent plan.  i'll update this thread when it all goes down.  fingers crossed.  otherwise random chick that lived here before is getting some blow in the mail. ha!

this forum is badass.  SR FTW!

I actually had to do this...had shipped to my gf's house because she's never at home when the mail comes ...but guess who decided to totally randomly take the day off?....yeah...ugh. But she was surprisingly cool with it and told me I could ship to her house anytime :)

That's cus she takes off often to meet up with her other boyfriend, who happens to be a doper, so yea they don't mind.

Seriously though, to the OP, don't tell your wife your expecting such and such in the mail because you have no idea what return address your vendor used. Most of them use business addresses, so you don't want to tell her your expecting her present in the mail so don't open it then she gets a package from PornMagHub.com.
