Title: Newbie Question that Needs Answering
Post by: ash118 on September 21, 2013, 06:10 pm
I would like to work through Silk Road but I have a question.  Do people ship products to P.O. boxes?  I'm sure this is a per person question, but is there some general answer?  Like "Each supplier is different."  Or "It matters who you purchase from , etc. etc.

Also, I have Tor down loaded buy I still question the safety of purchasing through the Silk Road website.  Is it secure, relatively, or is it still a good place to purchase.

Tor is fine, be sure to turn your javascript off in your settings.  I think most vendors will ship to a po box without any problems.

Some vendors allow PO boxes, some don't. They will more than likely let you know on their profile.

As far as safety goes, I've heard that there is really no solid answer as it depends on your situation. If you live where theft or getting busted at home is an issue, a PO box might be a scosche better. I'm sure a forum search would provide lots of anecdotal experiences.

Check the link in my sig for some vendors that work well with newbies. Good luck!
