Anyone know if its safe to be lazy and buy chems off ebay? like iodine? I have searched the archives and didn't see anything about this and thanks for your answer in advance.

Have the merchandise shipped to a friends house using their paypal account. As long as they are not into something really heavy at their house, it won't be a problem. The very worst thing that could happen would be the DEA or some other LE officers inquiring as to why this was purchased and what it was used for. It's as easy as saying you had a boarder for a while that was kind of strange. He gave you cash if he could make a purchase online and use your credit card. He moved out. His name was Joe Blow. Blah, blah, blah. If they are not obvious criminals, there's nothing LE is going to be able to find.
