So I just had a question when ordering larger amounts of weed like a half o or an oz. Will the weed be compressed when you order those size amounts? I have ordered a g before on SR and the weed came in a box and was perfect and not compressed at all. But I was thinking that for larger amounts will it be compressed? I only ask because i would like the buds to look nice as well because i plan on selling half to my brother who sells to other people and if the bud is flat as pancakes, no one is going to buy it. Which vendors are better at packaging and keeping their buds from being compressed for the larger sizes? Thanks for the answers.

That's a small amount of weed, but what the above said. DIfferent vendors have different packing methods. I would assume that a half o or an o would arrive fluffy to somewhat fluffy. Even qp's domestically arrive with full bud structure intact. :D

try mrouid! HP of fluffy wasn't even compressed or damaged without compromising shipping security.
-
Most flatten it, can re-fluff it by lining jar with lettuce for a few hours at a time.

Was this international?

I have yet to receive flat buds from anyone domestic, and that's actually a pretty small amount. I'd say anything over an ounce or two would be large.

I doubt it. I think all international orders are vacuum sealed. It's not really great getting flattened buds but then, it's much better than having to service bubba every evening before lock down.

A large amount would be a 1lb. and up,not a 1/2oz...Also good luck reselling over priced sr bud..

Can you elaborate on this method? The Jar stays open? and then the interior of the jar is lined with lettuce?
Don't need to line the jar, just place a couple pieces of lettuce in a container/jar along with buds with the lid shut. After an hour or so move the buds to another jar with lid off, after drying can either repeat process if desired effect isn't yet achieved or store your re-fluffed buds. Letting your buds get too moist can cause mold so be careful.

This is something that I don't understand. People actually think they can buy weed on SR and then turn around and sell it on the street for a profit. The only way I see it happening is if you live in a very remote area where it is extremely difficult to find anything. And then your customer base is going to be so small that your not going to make any kind of decent money. Why risk selling drugs on the street for a minimal payback? Other than that, I just don't see any type of business model that would work.
But hey, they want to try it, go for it. They'll at least be supporting SR for a short period of time.

Yeah, was thinking he might box it or something for large orders. If he doesn't split orders and send them as documents, that is.

Well, in the UK you can get £10/gram street for high quality weed. If you buy ounces for $225/ounce (Mrouid sells Jack Flash for that in two ounce increments), and flip 4 ounces a week you make £550 a week or $861. If you move MDMA, 2C-B, Ketamine, as well could make a grand/week. Most people won't be able to get the client base, but if you're at university or something it will be easy.

You can get a QP for $900 from the right vendor here, worst case $1000 a QP.
Where I live (mid-atlantic USA, not exactly a very remote area), ounces of anything that isn't compressed and has no seeds will sell for $400 an ounce, all day long, no questions. Could be the finest grown bud, could be early harvested beasters. If it is nice and green and uncompressed and has no seeds, it sells for $400 an ounce.
On top of that, most people breaking out QPs and Half LBs aren't "dealing on the streets". They're selling to friends. So, let's say you know three friends who like to buy an ounce of weed every two weeks, and you go through an ounce every two weeks. So, you buy a QP for $1000 (worst case) every two weeks, sell three ounces for $1200, a $200 profit, and you get your ounce free. Or if you want to hook your friends up, you give them an awesome price of $340/oz, don't make any profit, but you smoke for free.
Just an example. It's not as far fetched as people think.

Most of these guys use vacuum seal and it will definitely remain fluffy so I would'nt worry if I was you...

Break the flat weed carefully puit in Jar of some kind. I use med jars.
Toss your favorite wet thing in the jar. I use orange peel, but lettuce would be nice, a little piece.
Check in a day.
MrOuid's CA to US product is flattened.
Best local weed packing method -> Christy Nugs - please keep it a secret ;)
Nothing wrong with planning, and sharing with friends.

As others have said, I'm able to take a QP, sell it for lower than market prices here (non-coastal U.S.), make a profit, and smoke great weed for free. Good chronic here sells for $60/eighth. When I come in with medical grade marijuana at $50/eighth I only sell to friends and it's gone within a day. I get a quarter for free and make $500-600. People are glad to pay the $50 bucks because they are paying more for less around here and they know I'm not going to short them or pull any bullshit. It's a risk, but much less of a risk than having a bunch of sketch people running in and out of my house and dealing with people around here trying to reup on trash pot. I also don't sell anything more than a quad because I'm not trying to supply suppliers around here. My goal is the same as many vendors here on SR. Provide a great product, at a fair price, with great customer service, and make a dollar. I can do that buying in QP and up, but buying ozs on here and trying to do it isn't worth it. If you don't have the capital to get that much yourself do what any business does and get investment from people.
Keep the shit off your phone, out of your car, and only sell to those you really know and you can be comfortable with as little risk as you can be doing something illegal like selling drugs. You've still got a chance of getting fucked by the police so never let your guard down.

I could buy an ounce for $200 change and sell six 8ths for 40 each and make some bucks and some free weed. I don't do it because I don't want to deal with the degenerates and teens in this town who buy 8ths, but it could be done.
getting access to weed is more than half the battle for most people
but yeah, as others stated in this thread...that is a personal amount of weed OP is talking about and most vendors I have dealt with do not compress the buds
-
If ever you are concerned with the methods of your vendor, simply contact them. If they are unwilling to share their shipping method, or cannot guarantee undamaged product (crushed bud IS damaged product, in my opinion), then avoid avoid them and the problem you are worried about.

was ordering QP'S of BC bud back in about 2004 - 5, several times, and it made it. mind you this was from canada, before sr ever existed. fat ass envelope sticking out of my box lol. for about 900. i stopped cause i got a LL for something else.. but now, i finally find the moms again on sr.. so fuck it. i sale to medical patients and older adults, no kids.. a qp every few weeks, i believe is a rather safe bet till my grow starts.
i can get rid of oz's for 400 VERY EASY. right now i spend 450 for weed weaker than what i can find on sr. no lie. and sale 8ths for 60, g for 20, quart for 115.
i would consider hp and p a large amount, anyone get these amounts in on the regular?
-
depends on the seller
some sellers will send you rock-hard bud
some will send you bud thats not even vac-sealed
most are inbetween, they'll vac-seal and use some sort of protection in the finall layer or something so that it retains bag appeal and security
doesn't really matter though, compressed weed weighs as much as normal weed
