Ordering from MIC

[terrified.of.stars]

Hey y'all,

recently found MIC and have sent a few messages to suppliers. I was wondering how people went about payment/shipping address/etc. Should I get a P.O. box? do i need to have crypto or will it be safe to pay via paypal or even with debit card. I was considering maybe buying a visa gift card to avoid it being able to be tracked to my bank account.

any guidance would be much appreciated, I'm amazed I even got to the point of finding the site I've been trying to figure stuff like this out forever.
A supplier also asked me "what sample quantity and bulk quantity id want" as well as "what is the shipping address"

let me know if i shouldn't be posting stuff like this---but i ask about a PO box because idk if i should give them my actual address?? seems weird they ask off the bat

i would try crypto, its not that hard to setup at all

I have a seller lined up on MIC who I believe is legit but I'm waiting to have the money.. I plan on using PayPal so if I get scammed I can report it and get my money back. I also plan on using my regular mailing address lol maybe it's because I don't care enough, but the worst that can happen is a wellness check and I live alone
