Help Verify that B&M comes in discreet packaging

[lampshade321]

Think I may have finally tracked down B&M after a straight six hours of scrolling the forum. So relieved I could cry. Hoping other people could help me with the following questions.

1) Do B&M products from Amazon definitely come in non-hazardous packaging, specifically BW? I checked out another thread or two on that and people at the time said the packaging was totally normal, but I am a bit worried and just want to double check as the threads were from July. Both my private mailbox and my college mailroom reject hazardous/dangerous materials (and would cause them to ask me questions especially as my school is aware of my mental health struggles).

2) I want to make sure I'm looking at the right product the two brands I see on Amazon are BW (black packaging; >98% SN) and DF( blue packaging, >75% SN). I think I have also found WS (white packaging, can't find SDS), which seems to be the other major brand besides BW from other threads I've seen. Is this description correct?

3) I live in a state with a ban on products with >10% SN. Will I still be able to obtain B&M through Amazon?

4) Once I open the SN to aquarium kit test it, if I put the lid back on and keep it in a dark, cool place, will it last for an extended period of time? I am honestly still hoping that something will happen to change my mind and make me not CTB. I read the pinned thread about SN stability, but some people in the thread were saying that the SN does degrade over time. Debating the merits of just buying two BWs.

I am quite anxious about B&M being discovered and delisted and will order BW ASAP if it is the correct product.

Thanks in advance!

Bumping this, hope that's not against forum rules.

Hi, in response to question one, mine is still in the package so it blends in better. There's absolutely no hazardous material label or anything like that on it.

As for question two, that all sounds correct. For question three, one way to find out lol. But, it's not labeled as SN so it seems like a working loophole at the moment. I haven't heard of any state that has banned SN…. I mean there's a federal ban, so I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about.

Four, SN should be stable for a while. I definitely feel you on SN not being available to buy so easily forever and wanting to get some ASAP.

Great, thanks so much for the information. I'll just go ahead and order it even without knowing the answers to 2 and 3 for certain, I think. If what I've found actually isn't B&M, well, I'm out a bit of money, but I found the SDS, so I dunno how this could be anything but B&M (and brand name seems to match BW which I've seen in previous threads). For 3, I guess I'll try an Amazon Locker under a fake name? So worst case scenario, even if the package gets stopped, no one will know who it belonged to.

I edited my response, hope that helps.

I wouldn't worry about the locker and all of that but I guess it doesn't hurt. Might want to double check because some materials CANNOT be delivered to a locker. Normal mail might be best.
