Title: Drop zones
Post by: AbsoluteMuppet on April 25, 2013, 03:09 pm
I hear people saying about sending your items to dropzones, rather than my own address.

What might these be? A friend or relatives address? Or is there better, untraceable places I can send them?

Thanks

Most vendors prefer you use your address.  You're trying to make it look as normal as possible, they don't search your things from amazon, you never worry about that do you?  So just treat it as a normal delivery, never sign for it, and don't order beyond reason.  The people looking are looking for the vendors not buyers.  The more out of the ordinary you make the delivery, the more likely to be noticed.  If you are buying en masse, maybe rethink because you don't sound too experienced, and that is a quick way to get noticed.

Thanks for the good info.

Great advice here.

I figure, I've been buying and selling Rock memorabilia for like 15 years now, so getting parcels of all shapes and sizes, is normal, as well as from all over the world!

I will say, the few that were opened, we're from Holland/Amsterdam, so make sure those guys are using some James Bond style stealth before you order!!  (area also known as The Netherlands or 'NL') 8)
