Hey SR,
Considering ordering for the first time (been on the site for several months though). I live in an apartment-style college dorm in the US. Our building mailroom accepts packages not only for our building, but 8 other buildings around me. There's always a constant stream of packages coming in daily from all over the world.
From previous experience with regular packages, if a package needs to be signed for, the mail clerk signs for it. Otherwise the package gets put in a pile and then sorted later in the day. Then I get a slip in my mailbox to pick up my package. I know several of the mail clerks (and I get a lot of packages in general), so I don't even show my ID. I just sign off on this sheet that I picked up package ### and go. Since I live with 8 other people, sometimes they pick up packages too. I've noticed that even mail without a room number gets delivered, but it takes longer to sort out (don't know if it works for packages, though).
So, my question is, how safe is it to order something from SR and have is sent to my dorm room? Should I misspell my name slightly?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Use a completely fictitious name.

Don't do it because if you get caught you are going to get kicked out of school. Get someone in an off campus apartment to receive your packages for you.
-
i don't see why it shouldn't work. Of course the consequences would be much greater if you get caught. But the success rate of receiving the package should be the same. Simply sparking discussion. I am also very interested in answers to this question.

Hmmmm...completely fictitious name probably wouldn't get the package delivered. Well, I'm not 100% sure.
As for using an off-campus friend, that may be difficult. I don't have any friends this year that'd be willing to take a package for me... Other options?
My parents live an hour and a half from campus and visit every now and then. Maybe send it to my house in my name? I would never be there to pick it up. It's not like I'm going to order pounds of weed or anything. Just a few pills.

What would you tell your parents is in the package?

Use mail forward service or virtual office. Google for this idea
I am using it, costs ~17GBP per month, really worth it.
treat your PERSON as BUSINESS NAME
and keep PRIVATE and PUBLIC/BUSINESS separated and you be fine

I guess my question is, why are you sourcing online when you are living in a College dorm? surely there are plenty of fun substances floating around the halls of your dorm at any given time (at least there was when I was in college) and buying off of other students helps foot the bill for their education. It's WIN WIN

Getting it sent to a dorm sounds like a big risk. You can probably find someone in your dorm selling whatever it is you are planning on ordering anyway.
Once you get caught you'll be making a thread titled "Delivery to a prison cell" ;)

Agreed. I used to buy MoM when attending a college with a very similar mail system. I always received my packages.

After finally racking up the nerve I have recently started having shipments sent to my dorm. I go to a big university so there is a lot of mail coming in and out. That being said you should realize if your going to get caught it will be during the delivery to the school, it will not be your fellow students who sort the mail who bust you. So far I have had 2 quarter pounds of bud sent to me no prob, the shipment was 3x vacuum sealed and packaged very well. I also have had a 1/2oz of boomers come through no problem, as well as xanax. Any questions?

Make sure to order from vendors who have really good reviews when it comes to packaging. Be on your guard at all times and avoid receiving the package if you think something isn't right. I had a couple lbs of dro come to my dorm from a friend who didn't even package it as nicely as some of the packaging I've seen here... Though I've never ordered weed here but I imagine it's a lot harder to package safely than say some blotters

The quarter pound i had sent to my dorm was ordered off a seller on SR. Regardless of where you have and what you order you should always research the seller, if you are concerned about packaging look at their reviews. Buyers will say how good or not so good the packaging was done. The bud i ordered was packaged to perfection they our not in the business of sloppy work or getting their customers caught, thats bad business. My shipment arrived to my dorm 3 days after purchase, this was my first purchase on SR and i must admit i was very nervous about actually having it handed over to me worrying that the DEA and FDA were going to bust through the doors, obviously that didnt happen. The girl handed me my package and i went on my way. What i can say about the packaging is that it was triple vacuum sealed and you would of never expected that i received a quarter pound of some dank.
Also if your worried that your school will be the one to intercept your mail, it will not be them it will be the USPS.
