Just picked up a new switch oled and I was stupid not doing enough research to realize I need a modchip to homebrew. this is my first time with this type of stuff and I already have a plan in mind, get the chip and see if anyone local has a phd in soldering or sum like that . but back to the main topic does anyone have any suggestions for mod chips and were I can get them and if I do try to obtain one am I okay shipping it to my house or will i get raided or something.

You don't need a PhD in soldering, there are plenty of good YouTube tutorials on how to solder - EEVblog has some great ones. Alternatively, take your Switch to an electronics shop and ask them to install the chip for you.
AliExpress and eBay are the best places to pick up Switch modchips. You can either get a HWFLY OLED chip or make your own with a Pi Pico RP2040 flashed with PicoFly.
No. You will not get your house raided for buying modchips.

Man, that's beyond my brain
I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though -

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1 -

Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.+1
