Title: Drop location
Post by: Ratsforthepoor on August 03, 2013, 12:54 pm
Anyone have any info about using a drop location? I would have been inclined to use a real address if I had not heard people here talking of using drop locations.
How would you go about this without just using a friends address and getting them busted instead of you? Obviously I wouldn't want to put a friend at risk.

Just use your real address. Don't get other people involved in your shit. If your vendor is reputable and smart they'll package it well enough that it won't be flagged by any dogs. Your chances of that happening are slim if it's done properly. Mispell your name by a letter or two and when the package arrives don't get it right away. Sometimes you can even act confused and ask the mail man where it's from. lol. Just be safe my friend!!

This is never advised. Most vendors specifically ask you to use your real name and address. If you choose to used a friend or acquaintance you add extra risk. But, if you do anyway use their real name and address. If you choose to use a drop address or misspell your name or use a fake name, you are accepting the risks involved and should not fault the vendor if your product does not arrive.

I usually use my own addy, but , if I have a lot of packages arriving in a particular time frame, it sometimes makes me nervous. Like 8 express packages in a week might start to draw attention so I have used a friends name/addy once or twice for this reason.  I'm honest with them about it though and either offer to give them a little of whatever I'm getting or ask if they want to straight up share in the deal and kick in some $$$$ themselves/.

OP- to actually answer your question without making a joke of it, all true professionals use 'drops'.

The definition of a Drop is a location in which incoming packages full of cash or illicit items can be sent to, without linking those packages directly to the professional who deals with; or traffics those items or cash.

Everyone who is anyone in the game that imports goods from overseas or cross-continent, use Drops to receive such imports.  A Drop should only be a person whom you trust with your LIFE.  As they will most certainly have it in their hands, should something go wrong(ie; snagged package).  Make sure this person is well educated on probable-cause, plausible deniability, and their 5th amendment right.  Make sure this person would never snitch.  Usually, a drop is paid for their participation by the professional, or an associate of the professional if you(the professional) wish to have an indirect relationship with your Drop.

This isn't a joke, nor something to joke about.  Once you lose a LB of weed in the mail that had YOUR name on it, coming to YOUR home address.  Your days of being the neighborhood pot dealer are over.

Not with a Drop, however, because you were smart... and know the consequences of the game.  8)


If you're just smoking reefer or getting a couple pills... sending to yourself, at home, whatever.  But for all those dealers out there shipping shit to themselves.  Fucking stop it!  Stop being so silly!

*: For the Record, using a Drop has literally nothing to do with using a Fake Name.

     Always ALWAYS use real names, because your postman is NOT a moron.  He is a federal employee who loathes his or her own job... yes... but not a moron.

!

The name of the people at the Drop, obviously.  And they must be willing, not unknowing.

Ya dig?  Postman knows YOU don't live at your friends house.  It's all about using the CORRECT name that is registered to receive mail at a particular address.  Never a fake/imaginary name... never someone who isn't registered with USPS to receive mail there.

I forgot to ask, is it safe to use one within walking distance?

So long as the person knows, and are okay with it/ you've come to an agreement.  And, so long as you don't look shady walking to and from.  That's all I can really say about that...

Thanks Praetorian,
Great comments :-)

I suppose another option is fake ID and a PO box in that name.

In a place without camers? Mom and Pop PO Box store or rent a place that has a lot of foot traffic like a room in a big house or...  I see a lot of problems with my own idea.

There are threads in the main forum about this.
I think Pine had an idea about using a college or other place that has a bunch of open (doorless) boxes in a public location where every student or whatever gets mail.

depends on how ambitious you are... you could order fake identity cards to open PO boxes and pay off friends to collect your packages and really get something going or you can just order to home and wait a few hours before opening at any rate you're safer purchasing on the SilkRoad than street corners

Definitely use your real name. I would not ever use a drop but that's just me.

As I've stated in multiple threads, I think it's fucking stupid to use your real name/address. Giving your details to a bunch of drug dealers??? FUCK THAT. It was more anonymous when I was buying drugs on the street. I would meet up with the middleman, he would take my cash into the apartment block, and return with my loot. No addresses, no direct face-to-face contact with the supplier, no handshakes. The system worked.

I have a drop setup that I've successfully used for legal parcels. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is. :P

I have my things delivered to an associate's house, addressed to them. After the package arrives, it's transferred to another location. The deliveries are always small quantites, and the drop site is always clean of other substances.

Seems like the safest way to go, without getting too fancy.

I was considering another option to further distance my associate from the package:

Use another name, but not a fake name, nor a previous resident's name. Instead, establish a history of receiving mail for another name over the course of a few months by subscribing to a couple catalogs, junk mail, etc, then start using that name as a drop name.

What do people think about this plan?

i would argue that the *BEST* method possible is shipping to someones house who does not know.

As long as youre ordering domestically and it doesn't require a sig then just beat the drop location owner to their mail and no one is ever the wiser.

Realistically speaking; use a close friend, with a clean record and who doesn't know your business, but even this requires trusting someone who could hurt you.

I think you need to have an agreement with the people having the package shipped to, but as with Tor, it's always a good idea to distance your actual address from where the shipment first arrives.  Making things take a circuitous route just seems to make sense as a cautious approach.
