I posted this on the newbie board since I am a new user (although I had another acct name but forgot it :-\)
I haven't created a seller's account yet because I don't have all the equipment I need to pack and ship properly. Plus I would like to get a few purchases under this new account so I can build somewhat of a reputation. There are a lot of great drugs that I can get at premium prices and sell for 2-3X as much depending on the market. Ether way I still wish to provide my customers witht eh best stealth possible and protect my ass at the same time. I'd love to hear from some vendors that have experience with shipping and paying for postage.
Basically I have invested in a foodsaver with vacuum bags and an impulse sealer for sealing mylar bags. I don't know if the vacuum seal is necessary or even helpful, but I figured it couldn't hurt as long as it was sealed in high grade Mylar which I plan to drop an oxygen absorber in (I haven't seen a single vendor do that). I may end up returning the foodsaver plus if the Mylar impulse sealer works well enough (I should get it tomorrow)
Anyways my main questions and concerns is the shipping process. How do I go about mailing out packages and create real looking business return addresses. I have found plenty of info on the stickies about packaging, but barely anything about shipping. It seems like a smart idea would be to use different drop boxes all around town. Another concern of mine is how do I pay for postage without visiting the PO or putting a bunch of stamps on the package (which would obviously look suspicious)
Sorry again for posting this in the newbie section as it obviously belongs in the shipping forum. Mods feel free to move it.
