Is now the worst time of year to buy?

Loads of people are ordering things during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Loads of people will be sending things for the next couple months. Things get lost in the mail. Is now the worst time of the year to buy, or do packs simply blend in with the rush?

As long as your vendor doesn't send your pack untracked lettermail you should be more than fine. Priority mail gets treated like gold because it is the USPS bread and butter and people can get their asses ripped if they lose a priority pack. It is scanned at each sorting center or office and is tracked the entire way to add accountability. The worst that typically happens with priority packs during the holiday rush is that someone may place it in the wrong bin and it gets sent to the wrong sorting facility, but even then, it's sent back within a couple days because once they scan it, it will show that it's supposed to be somewhere else.

Lettermail is mostly fine too but the machines that sort through letters can sometimes chew a letter all to shit if the line has been improperly loaded or if other mail going through isn't optimal to send. The slick cardboard sales ads and coupons are some of the worst for this because they will cause a jam in the line and anything following them may get caught up and stuck. I've seen thousands of dollars be lost this way when someone sent cash in an envelope.

Either way it will most likely get to you, but don't cheap out, buy priority.

With all the market closures/exits, the Hansa and AB fiascos, this is the worst time of the decade to buy.

Yea, well as far as I can remember it seems like a lot of scamming vendors will switch to FE only during these holiday seasons with the amounts of cash people may get from bonuses, holiday gifts, etc.

Then they take all yo moneys hide yo childen hide yo bitcoin yea you get the deal.

I'd say most simply, orders will arrive a little later than normal, and from an opsec perspective, YES, certainly your dn order will be surrounded by tons of honest to goodness legit mail ;) lol So yea, I'd say it just blends in and the Post Office is so damn busy anyway the last thing a postal employee wants is to hassle with all the damn paperwork and hassle of a dodgy package, IMO.

Not the worst but might take a while, just make sure your vendor is trusted with you and you should be fine, in regard to receiving it

Well the USPS hires a bunch temporary contract workers this time of year to keep up with the volume of mail. I doubt these people care much.

Probably the exact opposite - if you can withstand the shipping delays (1-2 days maybe), now is the time vendors have the best deals. Especially cannabis vendors, because we're ending a paramount grow cycle...christmas weeeeeed!

Best time of year to buy! The seasonal contract workers are starting about now, and they give way fewer fucks about sketchy looking packages. It just might be slow, yeah.

Your packs will be delayed by a few days but they'll still make it.

I have no evidence to back up this claim, but I would also guess packs are less likely to be seized (domestic anyway) because of the increased volume. It will blend in with the crowd.
