Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Just me now, and I'm a self proclaimed worrier....just the fact that it was made known right up front and out in the open that this person is a " Lawyer " would run the red flag up the flagpole for me! It makes no difference what each of us does for a living......we are ....hopefully here to lengthen and make the quality of our lives better. My gut feeling is....I'm not sending in this case. You could be walking into something you don't want or need! Don " M.

This seemed unusual, as the person also has a home address independent of the lawyer's office. Would I be at a liability of a lawsuit or some creative, aggressive attorney if I directly send KT to the address of the law office? --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 , How did this person find you to request a scoby? Some people are leery about giving out their home address. My personal perspective is, I would not worry. Lawyers are people too. Dove On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 11:25 AM, M.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 If you are not selling anything or making any claims, what could the problem be?

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I going to send it out, based on the fact that the person requesting KT was a " lowly paralegal " . I realize sometimes that people do ask you to send packages they order to pick up at their workplace, it may be more secure, ect. I don't see any legal issue outside of the same category as sending homemade vinegar or mushroom spawn (inoculum) thru the mail, as long as caveat emptor applies. Actually real mushroom spawn would seem to be at a higher risk, as it can thrive with a lot of other poisonous fungi, more so than KT. If I get negative feedback or warning flags, I'll definitely pass it on for the newsgroup to consider. It would be a bad trend for the small business, to say the least, so that's why I'm not gonna worry about this one request.. BTW I'm on Guenther's network, that the German site with the great KT info on it. I get requests sporadically, it's somewhat interesting meeting the people who are always sincere and friendly. Guenther's a great resource if you want to help others in your neck of the woods. My mailing costs thru UPS have put me in the $15 dollar shipping category, also I definitely avoid USPS as much as possible, UPS knows about KT and they don't freak out when they put it in the truck for the quick 3 day shipment times. Also my local UPS Store manager is Chinese/Asian-American, which probably smooths the delivery even more. > > If you are not selling anything or making any claims, what could the problem be? > > Dorothy > > > I have been sending out KT thru the mail for several years now but > > recently I received a request to send KT directly to a lawyer's > > office. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I guess I still have a stupid question....why did this person even bother to tell you they were in the law profession in the first place? What does that have to do with wanting to brew KT? That in itself would make me wonder. Best of luck! Don " M.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 The return address is a rather large and respectable law office here in Florida (Tampa branch office), so it was a no-brainer to figure out where the KT was going to be sent. The person may have some personal reason for having it sent to this business address. I'm not real interested in the specifics, as long as I'm not doing anything illegal myself, I don't care that much. If they try to sue me, I think they would have better cases to work on.
