-
Calculate the price of the item you want. Go to the website you wish to order off of and add the item to your wish list and check the shipping. Add the shipping and the actual cost of the item. The sum is how much money you'll need to buy the item.
-
Go to your local supermarket and buy a gift card to the online store. Most stores will have a website and the website should accept gift cards as payment. Buy enough gift cards to get your item. [1] X Research sourceAdvertisement
-
Go on the computer when your parents aren't around to see what website you are going on. Order the item and look for an appropriate shipping speed. Try to have the item arrive when you know your parents are not home or when you can check the mail.
-
Receive the item in the mail (or be there when the post services ring the doorbell). Check the mail before your parents do. Do not go overboard in worrying about the mail.
-
Hide the item. Look for a place to hide it in your room or the basement. Make sure your parents won't find it ever because then you will be caught. [2] X Research source
-
Destroy the evidence. Throw away all receipts, boxes, envelopes, etc. This can also get you in trouble.

QuestionHow do I order something from Amazon with my step mom's account and then not let her notice that I got it? Like, will she get an email or see the package before me?Community AnswerYes, she will get the email as it's her account. To avoid this, simply create your own Amazon account and link a prepaid credit card to it. You will get the receipt as well as linking devices such as Fire tablets and Amazon Echo devices.

QuestionI just bought a real leopard gecko online without my parents knowing and I’m freaking out. What do I do?Community AnswerFind a good time to talk about it.

Make sure to be calm and tell them you will pay for all the expenses.
