Stealth

But there is still one final hurdle to overcome: actually getting hold of my drugs. For all the clever payment and tumbling systems, I have to provide a real-world address in order to receive my product. Some people use what’s called a ‘drop address’ – an abandoned house with a functioning mail box. The majority, me included, simply supply their home address, trusting in the power of ‘stealth’. Vendors are often ranked according to how quickly and easily their packages are delivered – or how cleverly they disguise the product. Although my vendor’s stealth methods were not discussed in his reviews – for fear of tipping off the authorities, I learned in one forum – they were highly praised. And quite right too.

One morning, five days after I’ve placed my order, a white package arrives at my house. It’s about the size of a postcard, but a little bulky – padded with bubblewrap. The name and address I’d entered into the site using my PGP key was printed on to a small sticker. It looked, felt and smelled exactly like every other item of post I’d received that week. Inside, the product was carefully sealed, the correct weight and, according to an expert friend of mine, appeared to be extremely good quality.

The last thing I had to do before closing down my account was to leave a short and simple review: ‘The drugs arrived as described. 4/5.’
