Hi,
first of all whats the best shipping you seen as a buyer I mean like packaging wise? was it just vacuum sealed and put into an envelope n sent to you? or did the seller do something different?
also as a soon to be seller I would like to ask a few questions n would be great if you could help me out and I would be selling weed/cannabis etc
1) What sort of envelopes would you like to see? bubble wrapped? i was thinking of using those hard back envelopes where the back is of a strong card etc so the envelope will not be bent? surely this will limit the risk of the envelope being bent and ripped open right? whats your opinion on these?
2) any other sorts of envelopes I could use?
3) After I vacuum sealed the product is there any other counter measures I could take? like cover the package in something before I put it into an envelope etc?
4) Since I will be shipping mainly uk to uk I was thinking of using recorded signed for 1st class delivery using royal mail? is there other services you buyers would prefer me to use? second class mail etc?
I would be using a label printer etc for all my addresses etc
thanks in advance

The best way is to put it inside of a peanut butter jar and sprinkle some coffee grounds on top of the peanut butter jar officer.

Window envelopes with printed addresses.
How often does anyone here in the UK receive a legit letter that's not in a window envelope?
-
Some sellers seem to be hesitate to give up their methods so I won't be specific, but in general anything that looks like an innocuous package or letter is fine. I've never ordered anything that had smell issues (like weed or heroin) so I can't speak to that, but everything I got just came in a nice little envelope; I would overlooked some if I hadn't been hypervigilantly watching the mail for my package.
-
buy from reputable venders, see how they do it. Remember to wear gloves and don't talk about methods in detail on public forums.

Herb.....vac sealed in high micron bags I would think so smell doesn't permeate packaing....dont know how you could cammy it up though, thats not my game.
Pills....well camouflaged with similarly round objects that wouldnt pop flags if the pack got x rayed.....
Dinosaurs.....Haven't received any yet.
Just search the forums, one person had a great thread specifically on X ray.....you should look at that if you're pushing pills.
Theres a 19 page thread from JanetReno....someone who interned with Postal Inspector. There's tons of great info there.

Ive been buying here for a few decades and back then the best shipping method was carrier pigeon. Now since lots of the vendors are making billions a year, they are often using carrier eagles.
It's pretty legit, but I always feel really bad when I have to burn the eagle to destroy the evidence.
One guy actually used teleportation. He seemed really nice, but rather nerdy. He goes by the name Captn Kirk. I don't like them space drugs anyways.

thats actually incorrect, many people still think using coffee or mustard or peanut butter to mask the sent of pot however dogs smell differently then we do they smell each indivitual sent, its a matter of keeping the smell from permeating the packaging which is why multiple vac seal bags is the popular way of shipping

Received a nuclear warhead the other day which had been stuffed inside a Rhinos arse which had fraudulent animal ownership licenses that were issued by the Home Office and was delivered by the head of the RSPCA the other day. Was pretty impressed with the vendor's efforts I have to say.

I can only +1 you so many times in a day Lim (Once... actually). Got a good laugh out of this one.

+3 Dude it looks like we must be buying from the same vendor! Mine used a baby elephant's ass though and he removed the tusks and replaced them with large white ivory dildos. I'm definitely going to put them up for 1000 BTC each

That's true.
Window envelopes are the way (especially the ones with prepaid postage). I've not seen any SR vendors use them either.
That being said, don't discuss in detail any vendors packaging.
But the best I have seen is DiMiTriSpice. His shit is just on another level. But then, DrNyx's is pretty close. But I won't give you any details, nor should you.

4) Since I will be shipping mainly uk to uk I was thinking of using recorded signed for 1st class delivery using royal mail? is there other services you buyers would prefer me to use? second class mail etc?
DO NOT send stuff Recorded Signed For 1st Class for everyday drugs, just use normal 1st class unless it's something particularly valuable. I will NOT sign for anything containing drugs, that's the dumbest thing on the planet. Also it means if people use an empty drop address, they have to go to the Post Office with ID to collect their drugs as the postman won't leave it there, further increasing risk.

+1. Don't use signed for.
The chance of royal mail fully losing/stealing a letter is about.. 1/1000. That's just a guess but everything I've ever ordered has come through. As has every bank statement.. every bill.. etc etc. Just use normal first class, it's pretty good. 9/10 times it'll get there the next day as well.

the only sticking point with the uk is that if the envelope is too big to get in your letter box or, as has been mentioned, is recorded delivery and they can't get a signature, you will have to go and pick it up from a sorting office which of course requires identification. if you use a false name bye bye package (unless you have some form of fake).
it has been mentioned elsewhere, and I think it's important, that shared accommodation poses a particular problem. if you have it sent under a fake name there is a certain chance that one of your housemates will insist that no-one of that name lives at that address, and the package will be returned to whatever address the sender put as a return address. or perhaps they will sign for it and have a look, which, depending on their disposition, could work out quite badly.
if you live in your own place, easy enough, get a nice big letterbox fitted and either receive without having to sign or receive under a false name - just make sure you are there to receive it!
I think you can get redelivery for a small fee but i'm not sure if any ID requirements are attached to that?

I've only ordered from top vendors (including Noriega during 420....)
They all have what I consider very good methods. Depending on the country they vary a little bit in style, but all made it to me.
Pfandleiher's packaging was sketchy. Looked very rushed, stamps now fixed straight, etc. But maybe that was purposely. Still the most sketch package I received.
