Quote from: Ahoyhoy on August 03, 2012, 05:35 pmNice one, thanks. Impressive stats for SR. What is depressing about these stats of course, is the realisation that my own delivery failure rate is almost double the SR average.....Not getting scammed or having random bullshit happen to your deliveries is an active learning process of hunting down a vendor with experience, decent feedback but most especially a brain. That's why the forums are so useful. You can learn in the Shipping subforum what the best practices for packaging/delivery times are and read responses from others to your vendor on his/her packaging.Obviously, anybody can experience a run of bad luck, but paying attention to the details pays off here. Particularly even a precursory search of the forum would frequently save new customers from falling victim to a vendor turned scammer or a vendor who has no grip on reality.I find that if a vendor doesn't take packaging seriously, then it's probably all downhill from there and you should run a mile. It's not that packaging is the be all and end all, it's just that all the good vendors tend to be interested in taking care of that problem. Being a reverse package profiling engineer takes some work.
