Quote: Always use the real name at the receiving address, the postman knows who lives there
Lol that is not true. First of all it is not the post mans job to open the package because he thinks its suspicious. He sees the address and delivers it.
I worked as a UPS delivery driver (USPS was behind the counter and sorting)for over a year in the same neighborhood. You do not always remember there names and you do not deliver a package based on the fact that you do not recognize it. It is common to have a package delivered to someone visiting, a new tenant or family member that does not receive packages regularly. There are many reasons. When you deliver a package you drop it off based on the address not the name. It is not your place to speculate because if you do act on it, it becomes your error. It could say Stinky Wiener Cheese on the box as the name and it wont make a difference. You will still receive the package. The only time a fake name does matter is when you must talk to the customer usually because you need a signature and they say they do not know that person. Or another less possible scenario that I can think of is if you used a fake name of someone that happens to live on the same street and they are close with the driver but even in that scenario you would be required to ask the residence to verify. Regardless I don't think I ever sent a fake name on the receivers end.
Quote: Never send overnight, this is a big red flag, for one they will think why is it so important to get there next day? There are a lot less overnight mail so this increases the chances of detection.
People overnight literally for millions of reasons and for someone who sees hundreds to thousands(depending on facility size) express mail packages a day which are going to people who's lives you know nothing about you do not question why each package is being sent over night nor do you care lol.
Also you might be misinformed on how the sorting facility works with express mail. It is initially put in a separate bin once behind the counter so it can be shipped out earlier than slower packages but once it is out (not international) it is sent just the same as any other packages going to the same region as your shipments destination. It is also delivered before a certain time but it goes in the same truck as the rest of the days orders. You might ask yourself "anon #7, then why is express mail so special if its shipped the same" and that is because all these packages of verying shipping methods and destinations are coming from separate starting locations and times. Some may continues to travel after yours stops as well. While your package got on the plane in one day others have taken much longer to get there. Also ground packages travel by ground. Some will get on a plane and others on a truckThey do not take your express mail package and send it in a special truck or plane for the single box. The transportation they use is literally filled with packages. It would not be cost effective to use a plane or truck to ship a certain type of package if there are only a handful of them even in comparison. I believe they do have some express mail planes but once again it would not be empty.
Quote: Send in a CD case? Are you actually 12 years old?
I am assuming you think I meant music . I never shipped music CD's. I would ship burned data CD's with something like "Ameritex Profit and Loss Presentation" written on the front.
Quote: Take labels off RC's ? Thats just plain dangerous, are you trying to kill people??[/
I would not suggest taking the label off if you are sending multiple RC's lol.
Your idea of how the postal system works is definitely different than what I have experienced. Perhaps your comments were based on speculation.
Regardless this is all in the past. I don't ship or recieve the stuff anymore.
