Packaging discretion - how good is it really?

Hey everyone! Planning to place my first novelty ID order this week and have some questions. I've done a lot of reading but still nervous about pulling the trigger.

My main concerns:
1. How discreet is the shipping really? I live with roommates
2. What's the realistic delivery time to New York?
3. Any tips for first-time buyers?

Also wondering about photos - I've read the guidelines but any additional tips would be appreciated. Want to get this right the first time!

For anyone who's ordered recently, would you say it's worth it? I need something reliable for occasional use, not looking to use it every day or anything crazy.

Thanks for any advice!
