i used my credit card also, got tshirt and order in 8-days, wow, that was quick. be safe, send it to a buddys, relatives house not where you are growing.
Attitude is pretty good with allowing "packages" to be mailed to a different addy than the CC billing addy....
Sometimes that is not possible.....
Now the problem with the "friend" or "relative" is that 1)the person must be COMPLETELY trustworthy since you are starting off breaking the number one rule of growing TELL NO-ONE
More than 1 friend has said the package never arrived....
More than 1 friend intercepted the package and replaced the goods (would YOU know the difference?)
The friend must be iron balled and completely legal
More than 1 friend has turned in a good friend (Hey, more than one BROTHER has turned in a brother) to get out of trouble they are in!
IF what you fear happening happens and the police/dea show up at your "friends" house how quiet does he stay!
To me, a P.O. Box away from your immediate area is the safest safe ADDY... BUT you would have had to have gotten it PRE-2001 for it to be really secure!
2nd best a P.O. Box that is general, like say The Arborgast Group, where at least 3 different people can get the mail and 1 is a shadow. Its even better if the Arborgast Group has a website and you get unsolicited mail from people all over the world!
3rd best is Mom or Dad and they live where you dont! Mom will hold your mail, you havent told anyone and you are not sending it to your grow!
If you must use a friend get the Tshirt option and say you are getting a Tshirt for your Girlfriend and dont want it to go to the apartment you share, or that she visits and might see it!
Good Luck one and all!
