Which do you prefer for mailing?
I mean, do you subscribe to the school of thought that you want it out of their hands as quick as possible, or that going to fast arouses suspicions?
-
As fast as possible.
Good vendors will have a product in stock and ready to be shipped. All it should take is to print a label and get it in the post.

I meant in terms of what kind of shipping is selected, not in terms of how fast the vendor is (obviously then I would want it to be super quick).
In the setup I have now trust is not an issue so I have them send the slowest, untracked way possible because whenever I have had trouble it was with overnight (admittedly non USPS/canadapost) shippers. But I am always open to the possibility there is a better way.
Sorry if I was not clear.

Also interested in opinions on this.

I've read up a lot on these forums regarding shipping methods. Of course most of it is speculation and you have to sift through the information and make a decision. But from what I've read and my experiences the best shipping methods are in this order:
1. USPS Priority
2. First Class or Regular Snail Mail
3. USPS Express
Express is too risky and a lot of vendors don't offer it. Priority is the most popular method vendors offer. I honestly like first class/regular mail the most but most vendors don't offer it. The reason I like it the most is the largest amount of mail falls under this category. And if you're ordering something small like pills they can easily fit in a small envelope with a stamp on them and I'm pretty confident they don't check small envelopes like they do big heavy boxes.

really depends on what it is like pills and some powders I could care less it reaches in 5 days then 2 but if its LSD or Bud then I start to worry little as we are getting to more susceptible(by Oder,Heat,light,aging)
