Title: Protocol for Your SR Account When Traveling?
Post by: 357beerdrinker on February 11, 2013, 06:51 am
My work sometimes requires me to travel with little or no notice.  I'm curious as to what is considered the accepted protocol for dealing with your SR account while you're unexpectedly away?  We have truecrypt on our laptops and having my USB with me isn't an issue to use PGP messaging but I'm very, very uncomfortable with the thought of using my work's laptop to do anything with SR.  (As in, that's not happening)

My packages should be okay.  They will either be left in my mailbox or left at the apartment's office.

However, I may travel for just a few days or sometimes a couple of weeks.  I don't want to get a bad buyers reputation for not finalizing any orders but I don't want to finalize them if I don't know they've arrived.  I believe I can always request an extension through SR.  Would it be best to reach out to the vendors and just let them know my schedule and see how we can mutually work something out?  I don't have any scheduled plans to travel in the near future and it doesn't appear there should be a reason for me to travel so I hope I can build some stats and relationships with vendors prior to something coming up that would require me to be onsite some place.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
