credit/debit cards????

this is my first buy and im still not too sure about buying online. have any of you purchased with credit or debit cards?? also ive seen that some sites accept cash, is this safe?? And my last question is, do you use ur home addres and name or should u send it to a friends adrres with a fake name?? the problem is my close friends arent potheads and dont want to get involved with marijuana seeds in their mailbox

Im in almost same boat you are...about to purchase but not sure what to use, cc or money order...dont wanna waste money on gift cards that may or may not work. and as far as shipping, the only pothead friend I have that would allow me to send to his house, its breaking the first rule of growing....dont tell anyone (this will be for outdoor grow, so maybe shipping to my house wont be so bad?) any help would be great!

Get a pre-paid Visa card and shipped to a friends house. That's the best way.
