I know this is kind of a dumb question, given it's very unlikely Amazon would notify someone that "hey this person bought one rope surely they're suicidal" and also my first post but I'm just really anxious.. I don't want to order a rope and have police come over to check up on me (especially given I live with parents)

Edit: Since I don't wanna make another message - Thank you all for responding so nicely

Almost nothing will bring a welfare check. Both the police and Amazon have better things to do than check whether people who buy rope are suicidal.

I understand your paranoia. Believe me, I get it too. But it is highly unlikely that Amazon would call for a welfare check, especially given the assumption is that you're going to use it for a purpose like tying things and such. It will be okay.

I think it very unlikely they would. The majority of people buying rope aren't buying it to kill themselves with.

As others have said it most likely doesn't matter.

If you're really worried I suggest thinking of a reason for you to be buying a rope (hammock, interest in rock climbing, art? idk) and then buying something along with the rope that goes along with that reason (paint, tarp, pulley, idk). But again it most likely doesn't matter

I doubt that Amazon will inform LEA to make a welfare check on you.
But please buy the right rope for your need, otherwise you'll just suffer longer or fail.

Have good luck ❤️

There is absolutely nothing suspicious about buying rope. Amazon and the postal service has no clue as to your intentions. Now, your parents reaction when they find out you've purchased trope may be different if they are aware of your mental state, so I'd suggest coming up with a plausible use/reason for having bought it incase they question you.

Sorry, what kind of rope would you mean, given we all know what the intention is for it? Horrible to think the wrong kind can make things worse

You don't want a elastic or slightly elastic rope like they use for climbing. And I would not suggest some polyester or plastic rope…and durstig all check if that rope is durable for your weight or it'll brake with time and then you'll survive like I did…!

I would suggest to all of you to go and buy the ropes firefighters use, you can find them used and often free from your local fire dept if you ask and they're usable for up to 150kg and they're non elastic…maybe I'm writing confusing stuff, but please forgive me that. Cuz English is not my native language and I'm open for any questions

No, Amazon doesn't care what people buy, as long as they buy. They most likely have hundreds of millions of sales every day.

Lots of places sell rope. They do not care why you want it.
Some ropes are not great for holding knots. I like 1/2 inch double braided dock line. Strong, smooth and holds knots well. It costs more but heck, you are worth it!

Yes I did. Good thing is, I jumped from that stool and immediately I went black and felt safe. But I took the wrong rope and it split in half under my weight and cut me very deep into my neck…that's why you have to consider the thickness and what the rope can bare in weight
What's wrong with a polyester rope?
Those plastic ropes can't not be knotted elas good as others, as far as my experience goes

....or maybe interest in tying up your next "victim" before brutally murdering them? 😁

and then buying something along with the rope that goes along with that reason (paint, tarp, pulley, idk).
Maybe like a knife, or a gun, or maybe even a cattle prod.......

Sorry, couldn't resist. Just a little "dark" humor.

In the US, all kinds of stores sell rope. An no one bats an eye at those who purchase it. Why the need for Amazon?

Buy a rope, tarp and a utility knife all at once. They will think you have a big weekend project, not that you are suicidal or a serial killer.

I've bought the most random shit on Amazon before. The average Amazon order packer probably won't even remember your order five seconds later as twenty more come in for them to do in the next 30 seconds.

the only way id see a welfair check coming from ordering a rope would be if you ordered a rope, and a book titled "how to tie a knot to hang yourself"
there are literally thousands of uses for ropes.

Almost nothing brings any kind of welfare check from just doing it online. You would have to write a review announcing it, and even then at least 90 % chance nothing happens.

I dont think there is anything you could buy from amazon that would trigger a wellness check from them...because then wouldn't they be held liable for even having such things on there? Sounds like they will mind their business to me.

Cops aren't doing as many welfare checks right now in general. There's a lot of rookie cops and it's unnecessarily dangerous. They basically only come to serve felony warrants or for DV emergencies.

Do you know how big Amazon is? And do you really think people care about you that much? You are fine I promise.
