Choose your vendor wisely and steer clear of the big boys is my advice, smaller vendors are more receptive to working with you, improving their stealth and responding to your inquires, they also get profiled a lot less so when fido alerts to an order in the sorting centre they don't just go looking and easily find another 20 identical items that got dropped in the mail on the same day, posting from different locations doesn't make much difference as all the mail ends up in the same place for shipping anyway. I've had mixed experiences with o/s orders, some vendors just seem unstoppable and they arrive time and time again, same time parameters then when I have tried to use other vendors a slew of no shows ensues. I have had 3 consecutive no shows from one very well known UK based vendor, haven't managed to land one and have given up trying. I have also lost more orders from the UK than any other country. I do not even bother with N/L, have tried Germany twice, one made it and one didn't, funnily enough the one that made it was the WORST stealth I have seen from any vendor to date, gram of coke, vac sealed by Ray Charles and thrown into a padded envelope which arrived torn so you could see the vac sealed coke. How the fuck that made it and my supposedly triple sealed stealth packaging gets pinged? Maybe it all the luck of the draw and how switched on Mr enthusiastic jobs worth customs drone is at any given time saving the world one envelope at a time, do you ever question your career path? you should.
