MoD also offers free shipping labels so for anyone living in a tax free state or for anyone with tax exemption, that person would have relatively easy access to go to a retailer, buy in store, and request a shipping label.
There are some fairly simple ways to go about this. For sure there are some risks and being aware of what those risks are will let people make a decision if it’s the right choice for them.
I’m from Canada which makes some things a bit more complicated and limited for me personally but I’ve already been able to do into the 5 figures in fairly short time with relatively few issues.
My point is BG is not what it was 2 years ago…and the reward/risk ratio has become smaller and smaller…
Previously, you can easily order from any store including Dell, Best buy, etc., you’ll get paid at cost or above cost. If something goes wrong, you can return/ refund easily.
Nowadays, you have to figure out how to order to BG addresses, otherwise you are stuck with Amazon…and get paid 3% below cost. Many merchants won’t refund packages shipped to freight forward addresses, i.e., BG addresses, or they will ask for police report etc. some walmart returns have to be done in-store, so you have to buy a label and have BG send the return to you and return to store…that’s money and a lot of time wasted…besides, any at or above cost deal will be gone within 10 min…
So, can the game still be played? Sure, it’s just you are starting with hard mode instead of easy mode a few years ago.
i did 7 figure myself last year…that’s why i feel like I could offer my 2 cents…
