ULPT Request: Getting Around Local Sales Restrictions
Posted by Clear_Entrance8126@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 12 comments
My friend wants to buy something that's not allowed in their state but is in mine (ozone generator). They want to ship it to me from the seller and have me ship it to them. What are the odds of this blowing up in my face? Will the item just be thrown away or sent back if not allowed?

Depends on context you didnt suppy
So somewhere on the scale of: "no one will care" on one end to "prison time" on the other
Make sure whtever your getting out of the deal is worth at least as much as the worst punishment My rule was always cost of worst punishment x 3 but I'd round down for a real friend

People are doing this in mass right now in NY to buy flavored vape online. They get a drop ship address in PA and the package gets forwarded. Same for mufflers ironically.

Why is that ironic?

Curious about why would someone need/use an ozone generator ? Other than pirifying a contaminated water source ? Ozone is a pretty mean chemical for ghe body

he has spiders hiding in his car and wants to kill it. I know it's overkill be his usual method is dousing them with rubbing alcohol instead of a sandal (or just letting them be, they were outside) so I'm not surprised.

The state with the smog problem. Kind of makes sense.

It’s funny because those things can make it worse if you use them.
There is a reason they are banned. They can and will destroy your lungs.

You don't stand in the room while they are running, you turn them on and remove yourself from the space as fast as possible then seal the space.

You do realize it lingers AFTERWARDS. I won’t use it in my home or car. It can stick to plastics and contaminate them lol
All you buddy.

Depends on how the law "prohibiting" the item is written.
If it is unlawful to buy and/or sell the item in your friend's state, I suppose it might be legal for you to give it to them as a gift.
If it is unlawful for them to possess it, that's more complicated.
