Title: Newb Help Vendor from Canada
Post by: jin5252 on April 23, 2012, 03:39 pm
Hi, it is nice to meet you guys. I am a new vendor from Canada and am deciding on how to build my business model based on what I am selling and such. Please tell me if there is anything wrong with my assumptions.

I plan on selling pure #4 Afghan Heroin. It is of top quality blah blah. In the past I have always just vacuum sealed it an put it in a birthday card taped around the edges and put it in a small padded envelope with regular postage using Canada Post. I have never had any package return. I would like to do things in a professional manner. I have always just chose a random business address and put that on a printed label as return address and shipped to the US. I have had 100% success doing this but I have only done this say somewhere between 20-30 times. I only plan in dealing in small items that fit in small padded envelopes. Here are a couple questions I have.

Should I switch to register mail with a tracking number? I know my only competitor on the site who seems to have the same remote quality as me does not. I get small to medium shipments from someone who comes from Iran.
Should I avoid going into post offices completely if possible?
Should I only ship to Canada and the US? If so how should I go about the actual shipping process overseas.
Should I use a fake return address? I know im personally legit, but don't want scammers to end my business before it begins? I assume I should but am not 100% on the way others operate on SR.
Is the birthday card thing dumb? lol If so how do you think I should proceed?
Im sure you guys kind of get the idea of my concerns. If anyone with a very successful business model from Toronto would take the time to mentor me and answer some questions for me, Im sure there will be a few BTC in it for them when I get started a month an half from now. I just want to work out all the details before I take the plunge.

Thank you, stay safe, Jin

well I don't know much about smuggling but one thing I know is that you should NEVER disclose your shipment method (card).
