I'm looking to set up here as a vendor in the next couple of weeks (trying to make sure I've got this whole thing properly understood before I start selling) and I'm looking for the best methods for sending UK>UK.
Obviously there's standard 1st class and 2nd class mail, but I wouldn't feel comfortable offering a significant refund in the event of non-delivery of untracked mail. Maybe with a copy of the seizure letter in the event that something's been intercepted, but otherwise there's no way to tell whether the buyer's being honest with you or not.
So, I've been looking to see whether it's practical to offer recorded delivery to those who have the option of getting mail dropped somewhere it can be signed for and offering a full refund in the event of non-delivery on that. Does anyone know whether the prepaid postage you can do with a royal mail online account (which I can obviously use with a prepaid CC and a throwaway phone) requires you to take a package to the post office, or whether you can just drop it in a post box somewhere quiet?
I'll be shipping MDMA capsules, and I've sent these via royal mail before plenty of times outside SR so my stealth is pretty well sorted, but only to people I know who aren't going to claim nothing showed up and demand a refund ;)
(I'll post this again in the shipping forum when I have my 50 posts, but I figure I might find someone with the right info here anyway).
Will also be interested in getting someone to critique my product & packaging next week or maybe the week after, so freebies will be given out then ;D
