Would it be odd?

Would it be odd for a friend to order a 5lb bag of Sodium Hydroxide to his house?
Any suggestions on him even ordering this product????

Be very careful with this stuff, and follow all the warnings. You,ll need to fill out a HAZMAT form to ship to you.

Might be a little suspicious, unless your friend plans on cleaning a lot of drains.

Or making soap. It isn't that uncommon.

that is not a large amount of lye......... now if you were ordering fucking barrels of it, that would be different
if you are worried, look into some soap making websites and order from them with a cheap soap kit or something......
i have ordered many chems for my photography dark room(many more dangerous/suspect) than lye....never had to fill out a fucking hazmat form or anything like that.....
now if you are ordering iodine, and lye ..... or someother meth making chem and lye...you will raise a flag(from a chem seller anyway)
but ordering lye from a soap making is pretty damn safe

Not really, no. Lye is a main ingredient in soap. The DEA thinks ALL lye is methstuffs, but they're imbeciles. They know that they aren't going to get a warrant for lye purchase, that's retarded.
The real problem is the fact that the shipping cost will bend you over and rape you in the ass. 5 pounds of lye is a big box of HAZMAT, and comes with a lovely fee that you have to pay them in addition to shipping and handling fees. It's not an inexpensive fee.
But why do you need that much lye? It's not advisable to store it for any period of time. it's hygroscopic, which means it tries very hard to absorb water from anywhere it can get it. When you store lye, it sucks moisture out of the air and has a tendency to solidify inside the container. And if you have to break it loose to use it you're very likely to spill the stuff. And when you spill the stuff you're very likely to get it on you. And when you get it on you in the solid form you're very likely to have holes in your skin once it gets wet.
Buy it in small quantities as you need it, is my advice. Not only is it less suspicious, but it's more practical. Order it from "Home Science Tools". They're an educational supplier catering to home schooling instructors.
Another perk of ordering it in small quantities is that you get to avoid the hazmat fee due to the small amount being shipped.

Risks = ~0
Risks now that you mention ebay... = Higher.
It's a public sale, just keep that in mind.

5 pounds is under the amount for hazmat required, according to some sites.

Really? Hrm... I had seen it listed as 2 pounds elsewhere. But maybe that's just my memory fucking up on me.
In any case, though, that's a LOT of lye.

Not really...
1 pound for every half kilo of cactus. A little less for every kilo of rb. It'd be stocking up for the future *a little*, but not like Y2K style by any means.
