Title: Making packages appear as they've sent by a friend
Post by: auris on January 12, 2012, 03:19 am
Hi, I thought of a new safety feature that we sellers could offer. A note implicating that a friend of the recipient had sent the order without the recipient's consent would give a more credible explanation to the authorities should the order get confiscated. Just denying the order should be enough, but I know that at least here it isn't so extra credibility could be useful. I know you could just ask the customer for a message of his/her choice but I find a pre-composed list of some messages good. Here in the examples, text inside <x> means multiple choices and the choices correspond to each other so that (1) is the same in both languages and also the order inside the tags is the same, (x) means a part that you can leave out if you wish to and a text like "Terveisiä/Terkkuja" just means that there are multiple choices. The choices are there so that there would me many different messages because the investigators sure learn that it's fake if there is the same message every time. If you know some other language than English, please post you examples for everyone's benefit.

So here's a list of example messages for Finnish customers:


1. Hi, I found something to bring with me for cheap but I really wouldn't want to take this with mw on the plane. I hope this doesn't bother you too much or get caught in the customs - I didn't want to send this to my home as there are all kinds of stuff lying around.

Hei, löysin täältä halvalla vähän tuomisia/tuliaisia mutta en oikein viitsisi ottaa mukaan koneeseen, toivottavasti ei haittaa hirveästi eikä tämä jää tulliin, en viitsinyt lähettää kotiin kun siellä on vähän kaikkea.


2. Greetings to (1)everyone(1) back there, I hope it is OK that I send you these, for a reason I wouldn't want to send these to my place.

 Terveisiä/terkkuja (1)kaikille(1) sinne, toivottavasti on OK että lähetän nämä sulle, omaan kämppään en nyt sattuneesta syystä viitsi.

3. Greetings from <1>The Netherlands/USA/Great Britain/Germany/Australia<1>! I would have sent these home but my <2>girl/wife/roommate<2> (1)probably/supposedly(1) wouldn't (2)really(2) like/appreciate that.

Terveisiä/Terkkuja <1>Hollannista/Yhdysvalloista/Britanniasta/Saksasta/Australiasta<1> Olisin lähettänyt nämä kotiin mutta <2>muija/vaimo/kämppis<2> ei (1)tod. näk./luultavasti(1) (2)oikein(2) <3>tykkäisi/arvostaisi<3>.



4. Hi, the <1>bud/weed/amphetamine/acid/cocaine<1> (1)here(1) was so cheap that <2>I couldn't/one just couldn't<2> resist the temptation to send some back there, I hope you don't mind.

 Hei, (1)täällä(1) oli niin halpaa <1>kukkaa/pilveä/piriä/happoa/kolaa<1> <2>etten voinut/ettei vaan voinut<2> vastustaa kiusausta lähettää vähän sinnekin, toivottavasti ei haittaa.

Don't you think LE would ask then about this friend if they've gone through the trouble of tracking you down already?

This would work good if you have a plan to lie about why you don't know/ can't tell anything about this friend.

Maybe you could say that you don't know which friend it was, and that friend obviously won't come forward if LE found his package....?  Not airtight, but I think if it gets to that point, any little bit that adds to you being able to deny the package would help.
