    • sponsored posts are usually drop shippers
    • free returns are usually drop shippers
    • check reviews and search for amazon or usps or post office to see if anyone mentions how they ship
    • be wary of sellers with tens of thousands of feedback

    If you get drop shipped, report a problem say it’s damaged or whatever, and don’t let them send you the Amazon return - use the eBay generated label. Then they have to pay for it and returns absolutely destroy drop shippers. Then leave feedback saying they just drop ship from Amazon

      Thanks for the actual tips. It feels like this will just kill my hobby/craft desires if I have to do all this vetting for basic shit to avoid Amazon but not pay extra for poor selection from the local store. I’ll see, I guess. I suppose I could just braid my own weeds instead of crafting big things. That’s still free and local, right?
