As a client, what are your expectations when receiving a package from a vendor? vacuum sealed three times? In the near future I will finally start vending and want to make sure I do it correctly. Thanks!

If I were you, I'd make a couple or more orders from very reputable weed vendors and you'll pretty much have an idea of what we buyers are expecting

That's a pretty good idea. I think you'll find that it is indeed usually very well sealed, and that it is relatively well disguised in the package. It's easier to ship if the first layer is vacuum sealed instead of just mylar impract-sealed because it'll be smaller, but then the buds will be crushed somewhat. Many people will prefer the first layer not to be vacuum sealed. I'd just make sure people know up-front what sealing method will be used.
But, yea, take a look around.

that is good advice. I have an idea as to what is used. I was thinking about vacuum sealing the product and not crushing it. And than throwing in a mylar sealed baggie. I looked online and can''t seem to figure out were to buy smaller bags of mylar just big bags. Also is a machine used to seal it or could the vacuum seal work to seal it?

No smell. As long as that requirement is met, I'm usually satisfied. Unless if the outside looks very unprofessional IE 52 postage stamps when it requires 2.

Definitely the double/triple vacuum sealing.
Also, in another thread someone mentioned one of their international ordered had a hole punched in the bag, which someone said customs may do to smell/look inside. For this reason, if you were planning on shipping international, I'd put the product in an opaque bag within the bag...something that blocks it from visually being seen.
Also my favorite seller, tweetb, also puts his weed in a cd jewel case to give the package a nice stable feel, and prevents the weed from getting bent and possibly breaking the vacuum seal.
Just my 2 cents

That packaging strategy is a good idea, but make sure the seller's cool with you releasing that information about his packaging.
