Why would a vendor refuse to ship within their own state?

I was super excited to make a purchase from a vendor that posted in one of the MegaThreads here, but got a reply of: "No. I will not deliver to an address within California. Please send me an address to send a refund to."

Why would this be? Did I betray some code of conduct?

Gustavo Fring sold his meth in all south-west states beside his own.

Don't shit on your own turf I guess

Its for security reasons. If LE is running an investigation on you, the most important piece of evidence they need is the controlled substance. By avoiding shipping within the state, LE is then tasked with the burden of making a purchase to an out of state address.

I'd just be happy the vendor asked for an address of where to send the funds back to.

They lack full confidence in their ability to safely send the package.

no problem

out of state means other jurisdictions and it has to be a federal investigation to get caught.

Are you trying to buy weed or other drugs? I'd imagine weed is plentiful on the west coast

too easy to track, because of interstate commerce law. its a fed issue across state lines and a local l.e. issue inside

Don't break the law in your own police jurisdiction? Maybe California cops are after him, and he thinks you might be making a test buy.

Your zip code probably matches the area where his drop offs are.

California is an awfully big state not to ship to. Well, an awfully tall state anyway.

I've shipped to people 2 or 3 towns over from me. I did everything i could to ship it from as close to them as i could to freak em out.

If this vendor lived in LA and shipped to Redding, that'd be the same distance if i shipped 3 fucking states over from where i live....

also, i get orders from california all the goddamned time. haha.

You live around the corner from him. You will now be his return address indefinitely.
