Hi, I have been thinking about opening a mail forwarding service vendor on SR, Is there any demand to have your orders reshipped from one of my locations. If there is I would love some feedback as to how I would work out a system of escrow to make sure people are comfortable using the service, I was thinking that if you have an order shipped though me I can FE a deposit to the person shipping the package, and after we build trust and see I am looking to run an honest service and not screw anyone. This is the trickiest part everything else I have accounted for.
Any feedback would be helpful.

This isn't a good idea, I'm sorry to say. It doubles the risk of detection by putting the item into the mail-system twice rather than just once. I had some suggestions on how to do it with lowered scam-risks, but ultimately the problem is just... twice the risk, in the end. There are two chances for a package to be lost in transit, or anything else to go wrong.
And worse yet is, even if you do get set up and offer a good service, keep it going strong for a few months... If you decide to fuck off with a ton of product, there isn't much folks can do. Though, the escrow-system does make it reasonably "safe", but I still say it's not a viable idea.
