So I was browsing old articles about Silk Road and found this gem. I was a child of the descendant (SR2) so I never saw this. Was this really the "guide" for ordering on the Original SR?
Use a different, unrelated address than the one where your item will be kept, such as a friend's house or P.O. box. Once the item arrives, transport it discreetly to its final destination. Avoid abandoned buildings or any place where it would be suspicious to have mail delivered. Do not sign for your package. If you are expecting a package from us, do not answer the door for the postman, let him [deliver it] and then transport it as described above. Do not use your real name. This tactic doesn't work in some places because deliveries won't be made to names not registered with the address. If you think this is a problem, send yourself a test letter with the fake name and see if it arrives. If you follow these guidelines, your chances of being detected are minimal. In the event that you are detected, deny requesting the package. Anyone can send anyone else anything in the mail.
Oh how things have changed. Is there any other interesting changes any of you fine originals can share because I find these small things fascinating!
What changed? The general tips on receiving packages haven't changed too much in the 10 years I've been buying online.
I don't know if this is from the original site, I don't remember, but it doesn't seem like anything worth while and I'd like to think that the first major site selling drugs had a better "guide" than that. It also says "if you are expecting a package from us," which wouldn't really make sense since it isn't coming from SR.
