Hey!

There’s some things I am planning on ordering, and I’d like to get them delivered without my parents knowing.

The things in question are some 23w CFL bulbs, e27 sockets, PC fans and a power strip.
I was originally planning on just buying them in person, but literally no shops near me have them.

I can’t actually find them anywhere but the american version of amazon – my country’s (Ireland) version of amazon doesn’t have them.

I asked a few friends if I could send the things to their house, and get it through them, but all of them said no.

      Old-school way we used to do it was find a house no one was living in and order it to there, but usually that was for stuff that was illegal.

        I have read that this is actually a bad idea because the post office people know which addresses are vacant and know that it’s likely an illegal package because lots of people have that idea.

          Maybe its outdated. Worked really well in the 00s. Also though, I live in a seasonal town. So like 75% of houses were empty during the fall and winter, and wed do it then.
