Title: What is your personal threshold of pain for shipping direct to your residence?
Post by: shockey on March 05, 2013, 04:00 am
The SR buyers guide recommends I ship my package to a location other than the final destination for storage of said package. Sounds like a good idea, and I can see how this would protect against a potential police bust of my property, but I receive packages from Amazon and other internet vendors regularly. If I properly use my real name in the shipping process... ..... I'm not over thinking this, am I?
Thoughts? How much do you feel comfortable with shipping direct to your personal residence?

It depends on what you are planning to ship and how much of it.

Domestic products in personal quantities. I guess my question is: What is your personal threshold of pain for shipping direct to your residence?

I always use my home address.  By of course I use good vendors with great stealth .  I mean really good.  My wife picks up mail and can't figure them out.  Hehe   Not all vendors are this good though , it took a while to try many out first.   But small amounts like that are a joke.  Not a worry.

It's nice knowing you are going to get it too.  Not some retard abandon house or apartment , or some buddy s house who says the pack didn't come but be really stole it .

I got Viagra once and my wife opened t.  It wasn't any stealth.  She left it on the table .  I said it was a Christmas gift for her to make me have sex more.  I just wanted to try the shit out .

for personal stash amounts I wouldn't have qualms about using your own house and name. If someone does a sting (highly unlikely), you can always claim ignorance (or better yet say NOTHING and call your lawyer).

LE is usually looking for the other end of the game.

I think as long as you go through a good vendor and keep things on the small side, ordering locally (in your own country) there's nothing to worry about.

But the risk vs reward factor changes a bit when you start ordering schedule I stuff - I'd just be a nervous wreck waiting for that stuff to come...

Never. I just don't trust vendors with my address.

Just don't use your actual name

Just don't use your actual name

That can look even worse.

If packages are usually addressed to, let's say.. "Mr & Mrs Smith" and the a package comes along for "Mr Armiv Van Wiggletrouts" then that might raise some heads.

And yes, I know I used a far fetched example but you know what I mean.

Perosnal amounts I have not even the slightest worry about using my real name and getting them sent straight to my door, my only concern would be not getting them... because I want them :D

I'm about to start ordering semi-bulk amounts of eckies, and I'll be getting them straight to my door, using my real name... and still my only concern is that they don't arrive, because I want them :D

I would maybe start being slightly concerned if I was ordering thousands of pills, or ounces of powder frequently or something. But I'll probably never be doing that, and if I was I would probably still just get it sent to mine using my real name and hope that they couldn't pin anything on me if it got stopped. I'd maybe try and get it out of my house as soon as possible after it arriving or something. Or maybe the other way round, ask a friend to get it delivered to them and then moved to mine, but that may be a bit unfair on them.

For small personal amounts,  domestic direct is perfectly fine imo, never ordered bulk or from abroad

I would strongly advise against ordering from o/s to you home address or an address easily linked to you (involving others is just asking for trouble and putting them at risk too) under any circumstances.

I kinda agree and I would possibly have an ethical dilemma about asking someone else to accept delivery for me, but at the same time if they give informed consent I probably wouldn't feel that bad. Most of the people I know would be happy to get stuff delivered to their houses for the same reason that I am happy to do it. So far the only reason friends of mine aren't ordering from SR is because of technical barriers (or rather, imagined technical barriers... it's not exactly rocket science). But I would definitely not feel comfortable paying someone to do that for me, that would feel a bit like unfair coercion or taking advantage of them needing money.

As for ordering from overseas, I think that may depend on your country. I'm UK and I don't think our authorities pursue these things as aggressively as, for example, the US or Australia. I think they would also have some difficulty actually making a charge stick for you getting drugs, even bulk, delivered to your door unless you were dumb enough to either start blabbering when the police turn up, or be dealing the drugs directly from the delivery address.

You think they're getting a warrant for a dime bag or an ounce or 2 of weed? No. I know a postal worker, they don't care it shake rattles or rolls. Throw it in a bag, seal it a couple times with a vacuum sealer or mylar if its gonna take a while to get to its destination Take soap and water to clean the vacuum bag or  clean with a dishwasher f its a bigger pack ;), make sure you get in that flap at the top of the vacuum seal. And your good to go. Whether you hide it or not is up to you. I do use stealth. But it'll get there for the most part via usps whether express or priority. Been doing it for years. Never lost one package. Had a scare once because it was a holiday. But the person on the other end got it. If someone here says i didn't get it and the dcn says delivered. I'll know they're running a scam. You can send it to your grandmoms house. If its stealth correctly and she opens it. She'll just say, "You got this in the mail today".

A good one I've heard (if you're super paranoid about even getting small amounts for personal use & don't need to use the product the day it arrives) is to have it addressed to a believable fake name or the name of a previous occupant of the property, then when it arrives cross out the name & write "NOT AT THIS ADDRESS, RETURN TO SENDER" on the envelope then sit on it for a couple days. The only way they'll get you for a small amount is if they happen to have detected the package at the post office so they'd either do a controlled delivery or knock on your door before you have a chance to smoke it, in which case you have (legally) plausible denyability that you don't know what was in the package.

Not that I think it matters though - depending on your jurisdiction, to paraphrase Stringer Bell the police usually have better things to do than go out of their way to stop individual people getting high. Since you can't give them any info on the dealer you got it from, them trying to get buyers would be more trouble than its worth.

I'll start getting worried when politicians start crusading about SR after some 15yr old middle class white girl ODs on something off here though.

My personal threshold is, I'm not buying anything that's worth the police's time. So I get it to my address, under my real name, and that's how it goes. But, if I was buying like ounces of coke, I'd probably use my friend's apartment. He only lives there like half the year, but still gets mail almost everyday. Just would be like an hour drive, and I haven't had any problems.

If it fits in an envelope, send the dope!  If it's a package, send that shit back kid!

I don't ever ship anything to my home address, but I usually deal with larger amounts.

Choose the signature waived option and if  you do choose to sign and the mailman isnt the normal mailman then you have a problem. But once again, itl get across. small or bulk. If it gets through customs then you can send it anywhere in the usa.

I could be way off on this, but my thinking is it's better to order from overseas (not domestically) in case the dealer got busted and had kept your address info. I don't think law enforcement from another country would bother forwarding your info to your local gestapo. I only order lsd though, so I don't think that would be detected by customs.

Do you think 25 hits of L would make LE go crazy after someone?
Title: Re: What is your personal threshold of pain for shipping direct to your residence?
Post by: dirkwellington on March 06, 2013, 02:47 pm
Regarding law enforcement, lsd is a Schedule 1 drug in most countries, although that is completely unfair. I think penalties depend on if you have a prior criminal record, and the quantity (possession vs distribution). 25 hits would probably fall under possession assuming your record is clean.

Exactly.  For personal use, no need to worry.  Now, on the other hand, if you're reselling...

Only small domestic orders to residence, o/s always go to a drop.
