Title: Service provides "Pen pals" for SR.
Post by: savecharlie on May 22, 2012, 04:50 am
The idea is this:

For a small price SR members are provided an address in another country. They are to send a letter and then they receive a letter, with cookies or something sketchy looking in an orange envelope. This establishes you as receiving or sending SR looking packages from foreign countries.

 My question is would this have any reception? If so, what would a fair price be?

Honestly? In my opinion, a really really stupid idea. If you get a sketchy looking package, your address could be flagged and people will pay more attention to packages going there. Chances are, it will not even get opened. So for as far as anyone else knows there could or could not be drugs in the package. Why raise suspicion on purpose?

If it's sketchy enough looking it gets searched and there's nothing illegal. Thus you are flagged as clean.

I may be wrong but I highly doubt it works like that. Just because you have one sketchy package and nothing is found in it, does not mean they are just going to let all your packages go through lol, otherwise everyone else would be doing the exact same thing.

Whoa. It's just a thought. Even if it's only an occasional person for a low price, I'll do it. It doesn't hurt me to do it. So if they want it, what's the harm?

Fio, have you tried it?

sorry I didn't mean to come off as mean or anything, no I haven't because it just doesn't really make that much sense :/

I know. It's ok :) There's already people doing similar services on SR. This is just an elaboration on what's already happening. I'm wouldn't be interested personally. I just feel there may be a market.

I don't think "Flagged as clean" really works...

I'm certain there would paperwork done that would show a search was done. They have to obtain a warrant. If you get flagged again, a future Detective would see that when asked to search. USPS employees might even see that and not bother noting it.

first off, USPS has people on the line checking for sketchy packages and pulls them off to xray, if a package is opened there is a federal court that has dealt with your address, id call that a red flag.

So un-true watched a program people sent fake diamonds customs found them and they knew, that they where testing it out before they shipped real diamonds, customs will just think your testing a packaging method...

The assumption made here is that there is some kind of register where all people and the shipments they have received are stored.

There aren't people that check names on every package to check if the receiver has a sketchy record.

Worst idea ever.  One of the other vendors has a service like this and immediately my flags went up.  Personally, if I noticed something suspicious at some point, my guard would always be up for this location.  I'm sure USPS has similar theories.
