Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Thank you. If i start selling its good advice. To add to the phone conversation recording. Just say that the phone conversation is being recorded for
"Quality Insurance" then all is good in any state, and can be used in a court of law.

Be careful with using "for quality assurance" as that doesn't always hold up in California. A simple, "This call is being recorded" will suffice. The bonus is, it gives them the option to hang-up, potentially saving you a headache.

Kevin, this is a great thread.
I like what Nick said:

Treat every situation like you are gonna end up in a bad guy thread. Be polite no matter how ignorant a buyer is...

I can think of at least one recent BOI thread where someone probably would have gone through less trouble had he just stuck to the advice you offer here about staying friendly.
I will keep following this thread to see more practical tips people are willing to offer.
And Kevin, I like the title you picked for the thread. It grabbed my attention immediately. It screams PRACTICAL INFO…and that’s what a lot of people want/need.

Thanks for this thread. I had video rolling when I discovered a DOA earlier this week (only the 2nd time I've had a snake shipped to me). The seller was reputable so I didn't expect that I'd need it, but I sure felt a whole let better about my position when I contacted him.

Great tips! I particularly like the one about video taping while you're opening the pkg.
Awesome idea; thanks.
