I've been doing a ridiculous amount of reading, especially in SY, but in international, us-us, and everywhere else as well, and I've noticed that orders received run a good chance of being "short" a few, damaged, not the right product, etc. at times. While it's obvious the work the members, mods and admin do here goes a looong way towards making sure we have a decent group of reliable vendors, obviously things happen. It also seems many vendors are willing to take our word for it and make good on their mistakes which is great. Of course this isn't the case 100% of the time though. Does anyone have anything in particular they do in prep for this eventuality to make sure you're dealt with fairly and at the same time, make vendors feel they're not being taken advantage of? I've seen that some members take pics of damaged goods or of incorrect numbers, but those can obviously be skewed after delivery by dishonest folks (not saying anyone here in particular is, but vendors deal with all types I'm sure). I'm set to receive my first SY order tomorrow, and while it has been a super smooth transaction so far, I'm a "prepper" (and was also a law minor and always like to make sure my ass is covered). I'm considering videoing the package opening, first showing it unopened, original tape, etc. and recording opening, contents, count and type. In thinking about it, it's the simplest, closest to fool-proof way I could come up with of having proper documentation in case of any issues. Im not anticipating any, but since it's a first order, I would hate to give a vendor the impression that I might be that "type" of customer without being solid about it.
Anyone ever do this? Great way to keep all parties happy, or great way to offend a vendor by making them think you were anticipating them trying to screw you over? Totally unnecessary waste of time? "This newbie is going to have her phone hacked by the FBI and have a lovely visit from them because she's a goddamn idiot"?...
