Been floating around for a while and finally settled on a product & vendor I want to buy from (Nintendo Allstars from Technohippy (http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/031a27a119)).
However I've hit a snag in terms of delivery. The reviews he has suggest his stealth is fantastic, on par with the best it would seem which is why I chose him, so I'm not concerned about Royal Mail/whoever picking up on it.
But I currently live at home with my mum and will be moving to University Halls within the next few weeks and am fairly sure of waiting until then.
Has anyone ordered from SR to University halls before? Would I be alright to order to my halls, should I order to a friend who lives out-of-halls, am I over-worrying, etc...
Any advice from people who have similar stories or have dealt with Technohippy before would be really appreciated, I don't want to order to home unless I absolutely have to as I can't be sure if my mum will be suspicious.
Thanks,
Big

Anyone? Any stories at all would be great.

There's a good chance you'd be fine ordering to the halls, but personally I would find a friend who lived off campus and throw them a little something to order to their place.

Chances are, someone who lived in your flat in the past will still be getting (junk) mail sent there, I'd just use their name.
People recommend not to do this on the basis that the postman will know that person doesn't live at that particular address and will get suspicious, but that's definitely not going to be the case for halls.

The answer of snark sounds good to me.
Tiger's one sounds logical, too.
Myself would ask a trustworthy person to order to their place.

I'm sure students at what I call a dorm get mail all the time. I know I did when I was in college, as did many people on my floor. Why would anyone be suspicious about your letter or small parcel?

Thing is at our Uni all the mail goes through a central sorting office of sorts which has to be signed for, so I couldn't use an old/fake name and I'm not sure how it works behind there - I can't imagine they have dogs but it's still a bit of a risk.
I guess it'd be safer for everyone involved if I find a friend to chuck a bit on the side to, alright. Thanks everyone! :)
