Title: how does a vendor with say 40 orders processed a day ship without attention
Post by: drago73 on July 16, 2013, 04:48 pm
I mean it must be a hassle, cuz it would look suspicious if i brought 40 packages to one box or even split it up between multiple drop boxes. Cuz then you would run risk driving or riding with all that product in your posession. Just curious.

They probably have multiple people shipping/working for them.

they do not carry everything with them at once. lots of back and forth (if they don't have runners)

You could always be running your own e-bay business,
Not suggesting guys go into the post office balls to the floor but sometimes it's just as effective to hide in plain sight too

I am whatever the imagination can come up with. No, i just had an express order marked in transit around 1 am this morning and thought that to be a little peculiar to say the least.

Thinking the same thing... They might have people in surrounding towns to divide up the packages and/or different people go in a couple times a day.

His forum profile says nothing about being a vendor.
Don't feed the coptroll.

i ship a slot of small parts  via USPS - and it's fairly simple, process and pay for the shipping label online, print the label and slap it on the box. You can order a pickup by USPS for one or a qty of packages or just leave them in the mailbox for the route carrier to pickup when she drops off. Or you can take them and drop them in the post office or in post office drop boxes

vendors are probably using a combo of the above

Buy bulk and mix up where you pre-paid bags comes from, keep track of areas sent too and what stream that bag came from and mix it up.
Also ship  groups of packages to someone else to send from different city.

There is also the return to sender angle, putting the intended address as the return address, or mail forwarding.

In terms of LE, most medium or high end operations are run out of one office in each city, so you can take extra precaution when shipping to that area, also in well known neighborhoods that LE work operations that same applies a mail scrutiny is more likely to be a part of their processes there.

I am whatever the imagination can come up with. No, i just had an express order marked in transit around 1 am this morning and thought that to be a little peculiar to say the least.

I imagine they mark it as 'In Transit' when the package is ready to be dropped off. I put in an order on saturday, was 'in transit' but obviously the post day is only monday. They probably put all the packages that are in envelopes, vacuumed and with addresses on them as 'in transit'.

Thanks for that. So if my express package doesn't come today like i'm expecting my mind can stay at ease, because product only being sealed and packaged is not the same as being dropped in the blue box. I thought SR clearly state that a "in transit" marking was only suppposed to be done only after dropped in the box? I could have misread that in the wiki. Anyway, vendor has a 99 rating with over 300 transactions as well as being a vendor for a year, so i'm not worried about it. Thanks to those with helpful feedback, and to the one who called me a coptroll: i hope you read this because i still say you can suck a dick biatch!

It's all about confidence. You eat a pill nervously in a night-club, every bouncer sees you. Put a piece of chewing-gum in your mouth without a care in the world in the same spot, nobody notices a thing or cares a jot.

You process 50 eBay items a day, nobody bats an eyelid. Do so shiftily and everybody notices you.

In the UK for non-parcel mail (e.g. letters) you put them in a post box, you don't need to head to a CCTV-rich Post Office. That helps a lot.


Runners are only okay if they do not know who you are, where you are, or how to contact them. Or you have a "grip of death" gang about you. IE not as easy as it sounds.

Possibly, but I'd rather have in transit and a confirmation message that my order was accepted than to look at processing for 2 days or whatever. I assume that from in transit you can assume it'll be on the post the latest the day after it was marked in transit.

Funny, I take the opposite side, You see when the order is marked as shipped or taken out of processing then the address of the buyer is also deleted from SR so if the Vendor has not shipped by that stage it means they either have a package full of drugs with your name on it or your address saved on their computer somewhere.

I only mark shipped when shipped and go to a random post box each time so a customer address is only exposed for as little time possible

Some vendors definitely do mail in the middle of the night.  Postal drop boxes work 24/7, and sometimes it is just as convenient to go toss several packages in the box at 2am as it is at 2pm.
