Drop Address: What is it and how to create one.
Posted May 22, 2020 12:51 PM
Drop addresses can be used for multiple things; whether you want to be "off the grid" or you're getting a birthday gift for your significant other without them finding out.The first method is utilizing a basic hardware store:
1) a purchased mailbox
2) 1 Solid wood post
3) a beautiful rural countryside
4) some decor numbers
5) Some rubber gloves and gardening tool
6) little bit of time to wait.
Stroll down to your local hardware store and pick up a basic mailbox, go down the gardening aisle and grab yourself some rubber grip gloves with a ground churner (also known as a fork) about 1/2 inch smaller than the pipe or post you choose for your mailbox. Weather resistant decor numbers from Walmart.
Next go out to the country side or a small rural and find a roadside next to a field with a barn, low traffic complex, or storage hangar and install the mailbox into the ground on the side of the road using a ground churner just a bit smaller than the pipe or pipe. Paste the Decor numbers on it, make sure it's stable. If it has a cute little red flag make sure it's down. Next, sign up for promotional fliers and mail offers online using the drop address on which you can obtain from any public maps directory like Google. Grocery store fliers or mail coupon offers are the easiest to obtain. Give it a week after signing up then check it every few days. Once you have a confirmed flier you signed up for, you have a verified drop address. Please be aware and alert that you are not performing this alteration on PRIVATE PROPERTY, and check your country's law for alterations on Public Property.
If you live in an apartment building you can just purchase a wall mailbox instead, some hercules drywall hooks, some decor numbers for a number that doesn't exist in your building to paste onto a door, and find a storage room and set it up when you're expecting mail. However, this can be taken as vandalism and please check with your building maintenance manager for authorization.
Taking a base method like this and using creativity to make yours just that much more unique.
This kind of soft drop isn't blackhat friendly. You will get caught if using it for illegal purposes.
