Good evening, everyone, the topic of today's lecture is "Drops, intermediaries".

The lecture consists of two parts:
1. We will talk about the "intermediaries" and discuss the information that concerns our work with you.
2. Let's study the category of "drops" and find out how they are useful for us.

"Intermediary" (Mail Forwarding) is a logistics company that gives you an address in another country.

That is, you make your own purchases in foreign stores, and then specify the address for delivery, which an intermediary assigns to you.

Then this company sends the goods you bought to your or another country where you want them to go.

The intermediary is used in 2 cases:

1. When the shop we have chosen does not have an international delivery.

An intermediary, as I have already said, will help you deliver a parcel from the USA, Europe and other countries to your country of residence.

Many online stores do not have international delivery, so intermediaries and drops come to our rescue.

2. When you just want to consolidate packs. What kind of consolidation? - This is the process of combining several batches of different cargo (that is, packages: you sent 2 laptops, a phone, a fishing rod and a pair of dildos to the intermediary), the intermediary can combine it all into one package and send it to you.

Here are two main reasons why we use intermediaries.

The first reason: the store does not send goods to the Russian Federation or any other CIS country. Let's take the same Amazon, delivery to Russia is limited to a very small number of goods, there are no liquid things at all (That is why we use an intermediary, we pay him, he sends the parcel to your country in a way that is convenient for you. The second reason: for some time we have been driving goods to the intermediary, he combines these goods into one parcel and sends them to you. The cost of delivery from an intermediary is on average about $ 50. This is convenient, given that you do not need to send one unit of goods to yourself every time, but there are nuances that we will talk about later... The shipping cost is calculated based on the weight of your parcel:

There are 2 types of package weight:
1. Volumetric weight: depends on the size of the parcel and is calculated according to a special formula.
2. Physical weight is the weight of the parcel when weighing.

The shipping cost is usually calculated from the larger weight. Formula for calculating volumetric weight:

length (inc) x height (inc) x width (inc) / 139 = weight in pounds.

length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) / 5000 (some divide by 4000) = Volumetric weight (kg).

When working with intermediaries, do not forget that they are made for ordinary ordinary buyers, and not for thousands of goods bought with someone else's data to pass through them.Probably, you are now wondering: "How to find "your" intermediary? So that the accounts with the goods are not blocked, and sent to me for cheap."First of all, you and I should search the Internet for reviews of the work of the found intermediary.See the new reviews, how he behaved a few years ago, we are not particularly interested. It is the latest information that is important! Read the reviews, if you found isolated cases of "bad" behavior of the intermediary, and the rest of the reviews are good, then it's not scary, let's move on to the next step.

We go to the intermediary's website and read the FAQ.

Pay attention to the list of goods that intermediaries send to Russia - this is important, because due to the current situation in the world, most intermediaries have changed their policy, thereby adjusting the list of goods sent to the Russian Federation.

For example polexp.com ( Polar ) The list of prohibited (regardless of the cost) includes goods:
- Cameras, flash, spare parts and accessories, Air-Zinc batteries.
- Goods if more than $300: clothing, shoes, needlework kits, camping goods (tents, blankets, sleeping bags), watches, glass, crystal, porcelain, ceramics, figurines, laptops (more than $750).

Also, recently, the EU has added three new categories of goods to the lists of goods prohibited for delivery to the Russian Federation:
- processors
- echo sounders
- drones

The full list can be found by clicking on this link (official website): https://polexp.com/news/315.htmlТакже , since June 2, it became known that now polexp.com can send goods of a consumer communication device (consumer communication devices):
- computers (including laptops)
- tablets (including e-readers)
- hard drives, SSD, HDD
- video cards
- monitors
- printers
- modems and router
- network equipment
- keyboards, mice, and other devices for entering information
- mobile phones, and accessories to them, including smart watches, headphones, chargers
- digital cameras (including web cameras and action cameras)

This amendment does not affect the other categories of goods published in the previous news in any way: https://polexp.com/news/315.html
The link to the new amendment is here: https://polexp.com/news/329.html (please read it)

https://qwintry.com / - one of the intermediaries providing addresses in the CIS and shipping to the Russian Federation. On this page, I recommend reading the list of restrictions on sending goods to a particular country, so as not to get into the prosak: https://qwintry.com/ru/forbidden-goods

Also, be sure to remember that the threshold of duty-free import of goods for individuals in 1000 euros is valid until October 1, 2023.

We are interested in tariffs:
- to the reception
- sending
- storage of parcels.

After reading the FAQ, you will have very few questions about this intermediary.Now, in my opinion, the most important thing is to communicate with the support service.We write to them by email that we are interested in, you can ask the most banal questions, the answers to which are written in the FAQ section. This is necessary in order to find out how fast the intermediary is.Agree, if you have any problems with the parcels and you want to get help from the intermediary's support as soon as possible, then the speed of the response will be a clear plus.Also, the response speed of the support service employee will show the speed of the intermediary itself.

What do I mean:
- adding the delivered package to your personal account
- consolidation of several products
- sending speed

and many other services that an intermediary can offer. In case you need them.Normal response time: on the morning of the next day after you wrote to them.It's good when there is an online chat and you get a consultation within 10 minutes. Such an intermediary, in most cases, can be trusted.So, we talked to the support service, read the reviews, we were satisfied with the conditions for storage and shipment, then we begin to "feel" the intermediary.Let me tell you what the stages of registering an account with an intermediary consist of:

1. Purchase of a complete set of documents (passport (first page, page with registration), snils, documents for housing and communal services (gas, water, light)). This is done so that when these documents are requested from you, you do not have any problems with their rendering.

2. Prepare the system: many mediums do not care about your geolocation, but you still should not make the spread too large. Take socks nearby.

3. Create an account on the intermediary itself. You will have a personal account (LC), where the addresses available to you will be indicated.

It will have the following form: Petrov Alex / Kleyson street 66 (this is the street), 44201 (the number of your cell by which the intermediary determines that the package came specifically to you), New Port, Delaware (city, state), 17256 (index).

This is followed by the "baptism of fire" of the intermediary you have chosen.

Here are some rules for you:

1. Drive in stages. That is, they made 1 drive, waited for delivery, looked at how the intermediary reacted.

2. Use different types of drives for different accounts. For example, on the 1st acc we drive in with CC, on the second with e-gift, on the 3rd with PayPal, etc.This is done in order to understand what the middle likes and what does not.

3. Pay special attention to the intermediary's tariffs (acceptance, storage, forwarding).

4. Carefully study the rules of the intermediary for accepting packages. Usually they write from what they accept, and from what they do not, and what documents are required at the time of receipt.

So, now let's move on to the process of work.We don't send a mountain of iPhones there We have driven in 1 phone, 1 console, we are waiting. The parcel arrives, now our main task is to send the whole thing to ourselves, the first thing to do is to order a photo of the product, unless of course the product is made from a verified store. The photo usually costs $ 5, according to the photo we immediately see that the phone and the set-top box have come to us, and not something else. Then we send a request for consolidation and sending. If everything is sent without problems, then we mark the intermediary as a good one. Next time, you can send a little more staff. The most important thing in finding your intermediary, do not think that you are a carder. You are an ordinary person who wants to use the services of an intermediary.

Actually, this is what the process itself looks like. Recommendations for working with the intermediary:

1. Do not send a million packs immediately after account registration. Lie down for a week

2. Clearly study the rules of the work of the intermediaries, this will avoid the loss of packs.

3. Create a portable browser for intermediary accounts, and work exclusively from it. Cookies are our everything.

4. Do not overload the middle with expensive packages. It is better to have several akks, and send a few to each one. No normal person will buy 10 identical sweatshirts or gadgets in 10 days. Remember this.

5. Do not use an intermediary, for driving expensive equipment, it is better to use a drop. This way you won't kill the account, in case of a charge.

6. When typing in, specify the left phone number or GW. It is not worth writing the phone number of the intermediary or holder.

About consolidation, product description, additional services and filling out the declaration. Never send expensive liquid and cheap clothes together. Your liquid laptop will reach and will lie quietly, and sneakers for 5 bucks will kill the account. A charge for sneakers will come and the account will be blocked along with the laptop. Liquid goods that are dear to you are sent to a separate intermediary account. As soon as he came to the intermediary, we immediately send him to the Russian Federation. Illiquid staff can be saved.

How to accumulate there for 500-600 dollars, we send to the Russian Federation. That's all sorts of nice things, it's nice. In the declaration, you do not need to suffer and write the brand / model of socks, flash drives, etc. We write just a flash drive, the stated cost is $ 5. Or, for example, Google Pixel, we write the same phone, and at the end you can still attribute China. Immediately Google Pixel 7 Pro turns from $ 800 into a phone for $ 200

It is not necessary to underestimate the cost of a liquid new product, brokers at customs know best how much a certain product model costs. So if you decide to indicate in the declaration that you are carrying an iphone 14 pro max, then you do not need to write him a price of $ 500, no one will believe you, problems will begin that need to be avoided. I always write that the iPhone is used or refurbished (a small life hack for you).

Next, about registration in the intermediary's personal account. Registration and visits to the intermediary are better performed from the country where the parcel will go. What else do we see in the mediator's office? There is a button to add an order. We click it when we were sent some staff and given a track number Adding this pack to the expected. This is done to speed up the processing of your parcel and add it to your personal account . In principle, everything is intuitive, especially when the package arrives. They write you all the actions that you have to do.

Now let's talk about the delivery options for your parcels.

Mandatory links to read:
- https://polexp.com/prices.html
- https://qwintry.com/ru/shipping

These pages exist for all intermediaries, so when you find yourself forwarded, be sure to look for similar pages on his website. Can't find it? - Write to tech support and ask. This is very important, because this information will help you save a single pack and prevent stupid mistakes.. There are several types of delivery. By air, by land transport, used to be by sea (now some intermediaries still have the option of shipping by sea). Avia is the most expensive, but also the fastest. We ship only heavy parcels by sea, such as disks on the car, and so on. It is possible to send goods that do not require urgent delivery. There are also goods that can only be sent by sea, such as perfume and alcohol.

The third type is ground transport. It is usually used for delivery from a neighboring country. Faster and cheaper shipping method. Customs clearance is faster than by air or by sea.Recently, drop services have started to work on a stingy basis, that is, they accept a package - they pay you your%. Different drop services have different types of goods for acceptance and, accordingly, different %. For liquid EPL equipment – they can give up to 55%. By driving the staff into the purchase – it will save you from the problem of delivering the goods to <url> and selling it, and will help you earn much faster.

However, the amount of earnings will be much lower than if you brought the staff to yourself and sold it to RU, this applies to the top liquid expensive staff. If you have sent the goods to the purchase, from the moment the package is sent to the drop, it takes an average of a week to receive the payment. And if you send a product to an intermediary and want to sell it to <url>, it will take 4-5 weeks on average. Here it's up to you to decide, quickly and little, or for a long time and more

How to choose a drop service?

The same rules apply here as when searching for an intermediary. Of course, the drop service has already been sharpened in advance for karge and colleagues, they understand perfectly well that the goods will be from the drives. There are many worthy suggestions in our forum in a special section, I will not advise something, but the choice is large and it will not be difficult to find your own. How to get started with the service and find your drop guide. First of all, we look at all the offers, compare what is closer to us. We study the rules of each service. Prices, online, number of drops and their geography (maybe we work in the same state, for example), availability of the panel, compensation rules. The panel is a separate site that contains all the drops and you can add your purchases, track them, compare drops, and so on, as in an online service. The panel is super–convenient when you can add a product, see drops for your state, many still keep drop statistics

Example: https://prnt.sc/10p99rk

This is how it looks +- everyone has the same, they drove in, got a track, added a pack. Further. We look at the offers, first of all, if we want to work for the first time for a purchase (sell a drop of goods for a percentage), we are looking for a list of accepted goods. Often it is in the panel, on the forum, or you can get an updated one from the drop guide. As a rule, large services have a list of liquid and illiquid goods. Liquid is an apple, phones, watches, laptops, PC components, etc., that is, it is a product that a miser can quickly sell, so it has a relatively good percentage. Illiquid is everything else, car wheels, strollers, penises, and so on. The percentage here is a minimum of 15-25, but think that the fraud of the website selling strollers is much lower than that of ebay and you can just earn steadily on bread and butter and even sprinkle with caviar. After studying, it's time to write by contacts. First of all, we look at what contacts the service leaves, for example, I am an ardent toad hater, for me it is not operational and the last century.

Here we have found contacts, be polite, write in the first message what you are doing, how many packs per week, how you are doing (without details) and ask what is not clear to you in the rules, for example, if you did not find your product in the positions, whether you accept it into work, if you are new, it is also better to indicate it. After that, the admin will decide what to do with you and either give you a log password and access to the panel, or say that we do not work with the new regs. As a rule, the panel itself is super-loyal in design and simple intuitively. We are interested first of all in the menu item – drops. We go and see how a list of all drops falls out in a tabular format. We look at what states there are, how many people there are in each. What information is given. First name, last name, address. Many panels keep statistics – this is very important, you can see how long it has been working, the skip has been accepted, whether there were problems, whether something is riding on it now. Do not overload the drop, we are all human

And we can all break down when a watch, a laptop, a phone arrived to you and you are semi-legal, in general, nothing prevents the drop from disappearing into new rolexes, choosing a pair for yourself on Tinder for the evening through a brand-new iPhone about max.


General tips and recommendations

1. They didn't go all in a row for one drop. It's better to split the parcels into several, just remember – even a manual drop is sinful and under the onslaught of temptations, it can disappear with your pacom
2. I don't care about the name of the drop, they take a fake ID, so just make sure that the pickup point is close to it. No one will drive a drop by car for a pack of 200 bucks, more expensive – discuss with sap

3. In general, discuss with the sap all the unclear points so that there is no jamb and you do not lose the packs

4. Carefully fill in the information in the panel, this allows you to speed up work and avoid mistakes

5. Be adequate, there is no competition and no one expects volumes from you, if you do well, ask for individual conditions for yourself, drop guides are adequate people and think like businessmen.

Next, everything is clear, they drove in a drop, he went and took it, you also ask to take a picture and check the goods. If you hit under the stingy, then the service will already pay you everything. Prepare your wallet and accept the coin. If you are dragging a product for yourself, then you need to prepare a label here. For example, we have a white label service on the forum: https://wwh-club.link/index.php?thr...sha-zapuschena-avtomaticheskaja-panel.242140/. The label is a kind of postal form. That is, a piece of paper in which it is written from whom it was sent, from which address it goes, to whom it is addressed and to which address.. Such labels can be ordered on the forum from the relevant sellers. Usually a carge label costs about 5-10 bucks, if the label is white, the price can reach 500 dollars, for example, for an expensive product (plasma 70 inches). The price depends on the dimensions, as well as the distance of sending the parcel.

The label is needed so that the dropovod does not bother with filling out documents, payment, etc., but simply pasted this piece of paper on the parcel and took it to the post office, where it will be silently taken away from him and she will go to her destination. You can read and see an example of the label here: https://postagemaker.com/publications/14-shipping-labels-usps .More here: https://qwintry.com/ru/articles/qwintry-global-explained .The information in the label is always +/- the same, there are such items as:

1 – Sender's full name
2 – Sender's street
3 – Sender's City/State / ZIP code
4 – Recipient's full name
5 – Recipient's street
6 - Recipient's City/ State / ZIP code
7 – Date of dispatch
8 – Package weight
9 – Delivery date
10 – Track parcel number
