TAPE THE BOXES AND ENVELOPES!!!

[frederick1985]

100% of the seams should have tape. Not a piece in the middle!! It gets stepped on and arrives open,

100% taped seams is a r3d fl@g among many for the p0astal c0ps

That it may be... But so is a package that is blown out in spots that it is not taped. They must be busy dealing with ebay sellers then, because you learn real fast to tape every seam. Not only can you spot and prevent tampering, your product actually stays in the box. I do not think a judge will issue a warrant to cut open a package because it is taped well.

A judge will issue a war rant on a hunch, because just about any pkg will tick a couple of the czechboxes and an affadavit plus an 'enc0uraged' dog sniff will get it done. But taped heavily on all sides makes it imo more likely pkg will be noticed and for the p0@stal een spec tor to pick up on it. A dubble lay er with the inner taped at all the seams and the outer half-@ssed would be better.

Best to have a package within package that also has delivery details on it.

Incase something happens to the original box/'lope they can still deliver. And the contents arent exposed on the initial damage.

Maybe, rules are changing. I always used the tyvek bags, addressed inside any box or envelope. Tyvek is pretty tough. Machinery is a big culprit.

Taping up every seem is not a good idea. If its overstuffed to that extent than ur guy should use larger packaging. Ill add, always print your labels. Have your custy correctly type their info as they want it printed. Its on them. Handwritten labels are no beuno captain insano.

They are scrutinizing more than ever, a1 is anyway. If it looks "suspicious", they will pull it and too much tape has been on that list for a decade plus.

Also, if they flag a package for c¤unt3rfeit postage or insufficient postage, as opposed to before, they will hold it. You will get an alert on ID. If it goes unfixed on the senders end (you aren't allowed to pay it) then its forfeited.

You dont pull war ants on for your own property. This went into effect Sept 15th this year.

Scrutinizing for fr4ud and trying to get the revenue as opposed to an ebay label or other service.

Are you saying New regulations don't allow for recipients to pay for balance due

Not speaking for Dr. O but that is what I understand that when they find (conveniently perhaps) cown ter fiat p0astage then the item is kawnfiscated.

 

[luquitoad]

That makes sense but just under paid postage should still be able to made up by recipients. I've got a petty cash envelope in my mailbox for the letter carrier.

It speeds up delivery by two or more days if there's a balance due

My bad. No. The sender has to handle it. You'd get a big red "alert" on ID, link to knlowledge base article

My only concern is that there is something else inside of it that fully and effectively encases the magazines so in the event a tear/giant hole gets torn in the original outmost layer, it’s not obvious what’s inside.

R and C were especially great about this, some other authors not so much. That’s not saying any of the current authors are bad about it, I just can’t remember Jack shit on who’s good at it - the first two mentioned were my golden goose’s forever so I had theirs memorized.
