Hey, I was just looking for your opinions on ordering multiple packages on the same day. If I wanted to order two products from two different vendors would you guys consider that to be a large risk? Someone brought up a point in another thread that if LE were to question you about a package and you stated total ignorance, they may still put a red flag on you which could cause serious problems if you have another package on the way. Is this a paranoid way of thinking or does this pose a risk legitimate enough to only order one thing at a time?
-
i would suggest do them 1 at a time especially if they are not in the same country as you are. You can deny one, but multiple looks intentional.
-
I currently have 3 orders in transit. So here's to hoping.
I tried to space them out accordingly. The first 2 aren't even illegal and 3rd is. I'd love for everything to go well and arrive like they should. We get a lot of mail where I live and my mailbox has a lock on it, so hopefully the letter just goes in the box and I pick it up after work! ::)
-
Damn, on one hand it would be nice to get both products sooner rather than later, and less risky in terms of other people in the house opening them by mistake. But on the other hand this would make it more likely to be intercepted by LE
-
Its really not a big deal unless you deal with International or badly packaged stuff. Ive had 5 domestic orders arrive at once.

This makes me very happy. Now if only I could rush the mailman!
-
it sucks there is no mail tomorrow :'(

Got that right. Fuck president's day. What a joke of a holiday.
-
seriously, I have a show to go to on thurs and was expecting my shipments wed/thurs.. now i'm really crossing my fingers.
-
What if one of the products is domestic and the other is coming in internationally?

Same here, though I have a few weeks until the show. So glad Justice is coming to america

-
Awwww. I wanna see Justice!!
Make your way to the East Coast USA next month and you can!
-
Already looking em up. Only show I'd wanna see more would be Daft Punk.
-
I saw Deadmau5 a few months ago, and unannounced The Crystal Method was there. I was ECSTATIC. Then mau5 proceeded to play a 5 hour set until 3am.
-
With the crystal method? Legit! I saw deadmau5 last year at Bonnaroo. He killed it and I was rolling balls. Twas amazing!!
Sadly, the closest show Justice is playing to me is in DC. I'm not driving that far. Have to save for Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, Electric Forest this summer. And I have to drive to Indy for Sublime on 4-20. Ill survive, I suppose. :(
-
You should hit up a Dayglow or two while it's going around the country feb/march/april, I love them.
-
Just went to Dayglow in Louisville, KY not too long ago. I was a mess, but it kicked ass.
-
Nice! I'm going to the ones in PA, NY, MA, and CT (I travel a lot for work and it lets me go to all these places :D). CT has two back to back in April woooooo
-
Heard Justice' set is going to be just like in A Cross the Universe but with the best of AVD mixed in. Hyped.
But back on topic for a second, so do guys think it would be okay to do this if one package is coming domestic and the other international?
-
As long as you aren't on any watch list and their shipments are well packaged I can't see the major risk, i've done it many times. The odds are probably about the same as they would be if you placed them apart. The only extra risk is if they catch the first and are on the lookout and the second one comes in.
-
I have 2 domestic and 1 international on the way. I'm optimistic.
-
I've got one of each coming sometime tues/wed
-
Is it generally understood that all sellers will accept encrypted messages for your address or do you have to message them about it to make sure?
-
If they have a PGP key in their profile they want your message encrypted. Some don't require it, but most do. Read their profile.
If they don't, I probably wouldn't deal with them anyway.
-
Well, most good vendors have PGP/GNUPG so it shouldn't be a problem. Always look at their seller page. Always. Some vendors have special ways that they like to do things. This is also where they posy their PGP keys, so always look here first. If no PGP key is listed, I would send them a message before placing the order to see if they have PGP. If not privnote.com would be my next choice.
Hope this helps.
-
Ah okay thanks, I was under the impression that SR forces vendor accounts to display a PGP and that some may not actually use it
-
If SR gets compromised I don't want whoever gets ahold of it (rogue people, federal agencies, etc) to have my name and address.. ick.
-
- for a 1st time order...perhaps one at a time...to test the water..esp if nervous about postman, mail handler ....etc
- on the other hand if you order one at a time, and someone discovers what 1x contains they're gonna be watching for subsequent items.
ordering 5 or whatever at a time there's a very good chance they would all get thru since different vendors = diff sending city =
diff style packaging {not 100% identical..}
;) ;)
-
So I have a question. Feel free to be as vague as possible. I ask this question because I have a locked mailbox but its kinda small. Imagine apartments mail boxes.
If I order say a half gram of some coke or some heroin or a couple of pills. The sender would usually ship in an envelop that would fit in the box? Or an actual box...that potentially wouldn't fit in the box?
Like I said, not asking about a particular vendor...I definitely wouldn't ask about a specific vendor. Just wondering, in general, trying to get some input from more experienced people. Obviously if it fits in my mailbox I can just pick it up outta the box after work.
-
When I lived in an apartment, we had locked smaller mailboxes. But if there was a bigger package, there were larger locked boxes right underneath or on the other wall and the mail carrier would leave the key in my box and I would use it to open the other box and retrieve my mail. You probably have this. If not, most vendors try to keep their package as small as possible (usually just envelopes or small priority mailers and things of that sort) you shouldn't have issues.
-
Yea we have the bigger boxes with the keys. I forgot about them!! Thanks for the reminder.
-
I hope I put your heart at rest! :P
-
Haha. Not quite. Eased my mind, but I don't think ill rest until that first package shows up!
-
...it fits in std envelopes ...usually..
-
Is it a good idea to make a new pgp key under a different name for every order?
-
you don't make your own pgp key, you use the vendors public key to encrypt your message before sending it to them.
-
...and add yourself as a recipient (encrypt-to function) = you plus the orig recipient ...so that you will be able to decrypt the original message in case you want to read it later...
