PIF tips and tricks

[Jules22871]

Put all juice in baggies when packaging. That way if something happens to the bottle, the post office people don't get nicotine on them.

I keep a pack of white labels near me. When an offer I make is accepted, I put it all in a bag and put the name and address on the label. If I have envelopes right then I go ahead and package it. If I'm out, it's in the bag and already has the address ready to go so all I have to do is put it in the envelope and put the sticker on there. Did that make any sense,lol

Put your tips and tricks here too. Anything that can make it easier on someone is always welcome advice.

Very good idea. Yes... it made sense, lol

Keep all bubble wrap. What you don't need you can play with!

IF you print your own postage, even though you ship in envelope it is considered a package because of the thickness of the envelope. If you pay for the envelope rate the person receiving will be charged!

I have a simple word doc saved with my address and the recipients address centered. The doc has a set of 2, but I could fit 3. I just C&P the new info and print. Easy!

If I'm sending high nic juice or juice in glass bottles I put black electrical tape tight around the cap where it meets the glass. One of the suppliers I buy from does this and I thought it was a good preventative measure.

The other thing that I do to keep track of addresses; When I get a PM I have it set to send me an email. I then forward the email with the recipient's addy to myself deleting all the unnecessary stuff and put the users name in the subject line. When I receive the message I file it in a email folder called "e-cig friends". (If I had room for a printer I would do it your way, lilith.)

It really helps when people copy and paste the offer to the PM, otherwise I do it in the email I get. I recently started doing this and it's helped a lot. I always think I'll remember stuff but I never do. LOL

Great idea, consider it "stolen" LOL

I've learned to Copy and Paste the details of any offer I accept (or classified I buy) into every PM I send.

Also, I keep a notebook where I note things I'm expecting in the mail. When I receive something, I mark it "REC'D.", then I PM the sender and mark it "PM'd", then if I post feedback I mark it "FDBCK". If it's juice I've received, I rate it with a # once I've tested it.

If someone accepts my offer and doesn't copy the offer in their PM, I click on their name and select "find more posts by..." to locate the transaction more easily.

And now I'm goin' to bed for real!

I keep a txt doc on my desktop and I will write up my offer in it. When I see something I need, Ill open the txt, ctrl-A (select all), ctrl-C (copy)... open PIF, take the offer and ctrl-V (paste).

But I will take the offer first with a brb so Jules dont snipe me

Recycle evelopes! Just cover up the old info, retape and send it on its way!

 

[mini_art]

You are all so organized! I can barely remember where I put my clothes let alone this!

This is a very good suggestion. I've done this from the beginning. I even have a big stack of the USPS flat rate boxes and have reused a couple of those as well.

I know I've gotten some of my envelopes back,lol And I reused boxes when packing the China order.
