B&BWooooorks/L\/SH: claim damage, broken candles or spilled product. It happens all the time, they’ll usually refund you no problem. Don’t even bother with a “im travelling, i need a refund not a reshipment” excuse, just say that you want to buy the product in store instead of risking more damages.

ANY clothing company: if DN@ is risky/the delivery company takes proof of delivery, take a similar looking piece of scrap cloth/duplicate item and rip it, take photos from different angles and say that all the items are damaged. Another method (if the company has physical stores) is to poke a hole through the fabric, this happens with poorly applied tags and it’s very easy to sow up.

don't raise suspicion. don't act shady, don't look shady. what i mean by this is to not have a mask and huge sunglasses on and hair in your face and baggy pants and a huge hoodie on when you l1ft. look and act normal. walk around like you're actually going to buy something. look at different colours, sizes, prices. seem to gravitate towards the rack of clothes on sale.

think about what you're wearing and if it's suitable for what you know you're going to l1ft. if you're going to lift something like makeup (mascara, concealer, lipstick, small powder or liquid products), i suggest a hoodie (not oversized, not skintight) with a tight long-sleeve top underneath. maybe some tighter pants. am i the only one who's terrified of my l1fted stuff falling out of my sleeves? exactly. slide them under the tight sleeve and you're good to go.

don't get greedy. you just concealed 30 dollars worth of merchandise on your body. you don't need that shiny new makeup pallette. you just l1fted from that store 2 days ago. don't try your luck too soon.

domes- wide angle lens. fixed, panoramic view. those ones u see like barnacles on the ceiling, but can also be sticking out from a wall.

bullet (most common)- long-range, often lowlight / night vision. mostly outdoors. blindspots indoors. no remote pan/tilt. can be fixed or varifocal lens

ptz — kinda look like combo of dome & bullet or like a dome on a stick. up to 360 degrees. not wide-angle so require remote operator. 

fisheye - cannot be remotely adjusted. over 180 degrees up to 360. ultra wide angle, panoramic view. used to cover blind spots. 

turret - short & long range hd. discreet & have most coverage. 360 rotation, can be remotely controlled. but can break easily bc of moving parts, needing maintenance.

they will all have visible lenses if you look closely enough (prob bad idea). unless its those secret hidden ones that creeps put in bathrooms but i don;t think stores use those

i’m sure there are all types of combos but i also doubt stores are updating their systems often enough for u to have to worry about them.  will update if i learn more useful info

(tl;dr: don't put hard tags back together when you're getting rid of them, drop them around a store separately)

(note from me though, try to hide the sharp pin sides of tags where they won't hurt anyone if they step on them accidentally. If the store has carpet, pin side down into the carpet under a clothing rack or something. you could also bend the pin by carefully stepping on it yourself, pin side down, so it lies flat)

M3ju41 - PEB because they took a delivery photo and I ended up not liking one of the things I got, thru livechat

Dj3rf 4v3nu3 - annoying as hell, investigated w/ UPS and sent me a delivery photo but I said I didn’t recognize the place in the photo and refunded after two weeks

|84ggu - super easy thru email, just asked to confirm neighbors didn’t receive the package or anything

i went to Bürliñgtøn today and they now have LP tracking who comes in by greeting people at the front door to crack down on shoplifting
