This was literally the easiest refund ive ever got,,,oh my god

I literally emailed saying "hello! Ive been tracking my parcel and it says delivered but i havent received the item?"

And they replied "hi if you can confirm your address we can resend the items!"

I just said "id prefer a refund since the parcel just didnt arrive" and they just,,refunded??? Oh my goodness it was so easy.

Hôbby łôbbÿ cashier accidentally gave me some golden advice today.

I grabbed a grapevine wreath for a head piece and while i was waiting in line I put it on my head to see how it would sit and make sure it was a good size. I had 20 stems and I told her I did, and she said “you seem trustworthy, I’ll believe you’ve got 20” and when I looked at her kinda dumbstruck she was like “you put a wreath on your head in the middle of the store, it seems like your guard is down, you don’t do silly stuff when your gaurd is up”

Y’ALL

WE JUST GOTTA ACT DUMB AND WE ARE GUCCI

Model that coat

Catwalk in those boots

Put the wreath on your head

Fill your pockets 😂

🎶I need a himbo🎶

[secret-shopper]

i've only found like 80 active l1ft1ng accounts, where are y'all at 💔

[dumbbitchlifts]

plz literally where is everyone

[liftingstones-deactivated202104]

honestly, I think there are probably only are like 150-ish active blogs right now. this is a pretty insular community that does everything it can to keep people out of it. plus, once people get in they often grow out of it relatively quickly. either because they got skilled enough to not take advice anymore, got caught, or decided lyfting wasn’t worth the risks anymore. 

[shiftyliftylittledude]

i’m still here, mostly lurking and collecting advice. still trying to work up the balls to lift something irl, but i will at some point when the lockdown is over.

Avoiding Counting In/Out

A lot of places count going in and out, so here’s just a couple of ways to conceal on floor before they count. This is vital because if you’re caught lying about the number of items you have, the way you act can make an SA sus or not of you. In any case, just act apologetic, smile, and tell them you must have miscounted or thought you put something down... showing even the slightest amount of anxiety/apprehension (whatever the right word is) can and will make SAs sus of you. I just smile and shrug my shoulders a tiny bit and apologize for miscounting lol. Anyway, here are some of the methods I use to avoid the whole “what if they count in/out” situation. Don’t forget that most fitting rooms are unstaffed until you call an SA over (or they see you waiting) so walk in a bit and conceal while you can!

Shopping bag/purse: While in a blindspot or the fitting room, (or make your own by reaching into a display of clothes acting like you’re checking for a size), put whatever clothing items you want in your bag! I use an Äëröpöstälë or F21 bag since they’re super big and quite opaque. If you need a bag, bring a light jacket with you and ask a store if you could have a bag to put your jacket in! They’ll rarely say no. This method is great for ÜÖ, their clearance section is usually the best since they have all those racks and barely (if any) cameras.

Jacket: I absolutely LOVE this method so much. Have a zip-up or jacket on your arm and act like you’re just fixing or checking it out (lifting it up slightly, “examining” it, anything to be able to put the item under it), and discreetly fold or just slide your item under your jacket. Just make sure it’s not visible through your jacket by “adjusting your hair” in a full body mirror. No SA is going to ask you to hang up your jacket (I hope). I use this method or #1 with Zümïëz or VS.

A friend: This only works if the fitting room attendant leaves after helping you. Have a friend shop with you as you hold the decoys and your friend holds what you/they want and some decoys. Bring your decoys into the fitting room, and after you’re sure the attendant is gone (you can do this subtlely by trying something on and checking it in the mirror outside your room, or just looking out), text the friend to come in. Conceal what you both want and walk out with all the decoys. If anyone asks, you asked your friend for an opinion.

Feel free to add any methods you use! These are just the ones that have worked for me.

DNAing, or scamming!

-DNA: Did not arrive.

It’s really easy to DNA stuff online. Just email or live chat (i prefer livechat) the company and say that you never received the product, and that you were really excited to get it/disappointed it never came.

For Ämäzön, Wälmärt, Ültä, Tärgët, etc, it’s best to have an active account with actual purchases on there. Even after your scam, buy cheap things once in a while so you can scam again. I’ve done that with Tärgët & have scammed over $400 in items on the same account (with like 10 legitimate purchases).

Here’s a list of stores I’ve scammed and their protocol, & the amount I scammed:

[shiftyliftylittledude]

how do you do aliexpress?

[shiftyliftylittledude]

Does anyone have any ali*xpress tips, especially DNA advice?

[anxiouslifter2-deactivated20220]

Someone tell me how to scam amâzôñnnnn

[strawberrymoldjar]

order something and wait 2 days after you get it, find the customer service chat and say the package never arrived the chat is automated. i routinely scam them this way.

once you open the app hit the side menu and go to customer service at the bottom

after you choose the item this screen comes up

click the first option, a delivery, order, or return, then choose your item you want to refund

then click “i need more help” under the yellow button then click CHAT !! and you’re golden

these chats are automated specifically

[mercury-lifts]

reblog to save a life

[modernnbonnie]

Lmao you guys actually taught me how to actually get a refund on a item that truly never arrived!

[sashasteals]

“everyone gets caught eventually” no the fuck they don’t lmao like okay speaking philosophically if u lifted for eternity then of course you’d get caught because if you lived forever you’d eventually do literally everything, but i’ve been lifting for years and years and i’ve never been caught & only beeped twice in my whole damn life.

if ur careful and paranoid as fuck and willing to dump when shit gets sticky then u can go ur whole lifting career getting away clean. if u get caught its all on you. maybe u fucked up. maybe ur partner fucked up and brought u down too. either way its ur fault for making those decisions and u gotta own it & live w the fact that there was a way to do shit w/o getting caught. think abt that the next time ur debating whether or not to ditch ur shit because you’ve got a bad vibe but want that shitty $20 shirt more than u want a spotless criminal record

[heavenlylifter]

yep yep yep! i’ve been lifting for almost a decade now and i’ve never been caught. i’ve paced myself, thought ahead before lifting, and i’ve only beeped twice. the only times i’ve messed up is when i’ve become complacent and reckless, and let my greed get the better of me. i’ve never made the same mistake more than once, and it’s rly paid off. getting caught doesn’t have to be a concrete eventuality, no matter what other reckless lifters may say.

[richieziffyz-deactivated2022080]

i just thought of the best boosting tip??

what if you lifted problematic makeup brands like j* or k\/d and boosted them a lot?

1. it gives u a good excuse for selling a lot of products, “oh i don’t like the brands decisions/whatever so i’m getting rid of them”

2. ppl will want to buy from u rather than the brand!

also could work for brands that aren’t vegan or cruelty free, “oh i’m selling these cuz i don’t like having nonvegan/cruel products!” and ppl might prefer buying from u than from a brand that supports animal cruelty etc!

[richieziffyz-deactivated2022080]

has anyone ever snuck into a concert? thoughts ? i wanna go to some concerts next year but i’m completely broke !!

[lifting-libra]

lifting as feminist praxis

OK so, the capitalist beauty industry. Owned by male CEOs, they control our trends, they get our money, they create advertising which results in compulsory femininity and we all know how bad that is–erasure of butch women, men defining femininity for us, etc..

Anyways because of those rich and powerful capitalists, makeup is a necessity for women now. It needs to stop being treated as a luxury item, when we all know how much better our lives got after we learned how to do makeup.

We know how good makeup makes us feel. And we know how people treat us so much nicer and better when we have makeup on.

If we’re going to be participating in the system these CEOs set up to make sure their product sells and then over price it, then we might as well refuse to let them profit from it!!

Fuck allowing men to profit off of their control over our fashion trends!! 

Fuck giving our money to those men who think all women need to wear makeup and look feminine!!

[swiperelzorro-blog]

Far as I’m concerned, we’re a factored cost and a side-effect of capitalism that was *expected*. As for the cosmetics industry, thank you. I love makeup. But I don’t love that it’s predominantly shithead white men running the industry, and that it isn’t just about fun pretty colours to put on your face: it’s also about pushing thinness, whiteness, being under 25 (and guilting anyone over this mark about how they need to start shelling out for anti-ageing products); it’s about keeping us spending by “creating” new trends every couple of months, it’s about an entire fucking system that divides women and aims to make them feel like crap– and like they’re inadequate and that the only way to “fix” that is to spend. And, well, fuck that. Not to mention, these big companies engage in predatory business practises, shutting out the smaller firms who may be trying to be more ethical and decent. L’Oreal is especially gross and predatory like this, acquiring The Body Shop when Anita Roddick was dying of cancer, and Carol’s Daughter, a black girls’ hair product company, after they filed for bankruptcy. (This is in spite of L’Oreal’s marketing flying DIRECTLY IN THE FACE OF both what The Body Shop– which used to talk about how only six women looked like supermodels and that they were for the 6 billion who didn’t– and Carol’s Daughter– which celebrates natural POC hair rather than whitening the POC models in their product photos and only showing them with straightened hair– were about.) And why do so many smaller companies wind up in financial trouble? Because conglomerates like L’Oreal and Unilever all but keep them out of the market by doing deals with retaillers. Then there’s their move for the “green dollar”– so many indie CF companies have been acquired by firms who test on animals and have no intention of stopping because they want the markets where animal testing is mandatory, but they also want a diversified market base and for the people concerned about animal testing to give them money even though they’re pat of the godamned problem. I love makeup, I love dressing up, but the industry is exploitative and shitty, and if it’s gonna exploit me, then why the fuck can’t I exploit it?

Masterpost of store layouts and some ways that they use them to prevent shoplifting

A bunch of shit I learned in my marketing class :)

(Disclaimer: these do not account for cameras and wandering SAs so keep an eye out still!!)

Straight floor plan:

-straight lines

-used in stores like walmart (not expensive but not a wholesale/liquidation store)

-cashier can’t see you if you’re behind a shelf

Diagonal floor plan:

-diagonal lines

-used for a more open traffic flow, which makes it a little harder to watch for other customers but not too hard

-cashier can see most areas (not all, some are blocked still)

-the back is the best place to conceal

Angular or circular floor plan:

-high end/specialty stores (Pandora for example is like this I think)

-open floor plan

-round displays/stands

-great for traffic flow

-a little harder to conceal than diagonal floor plan but not bad if you know what you’re doing

-cashiers can usually see around the round bends if the stands are tall  but obviously can’t see everywhere

-if they’re lower stands (like jewelry stands) it’s harder to conceal, try floor or scarf concealment

Geometric floor plan:

(Ex. My hottopic is like this)

-multiple shapes

-usually a mess, harder for cashiers to see around all the twists and bends

-easy to conceal

-usually have good blind spots from cameras

Mixed layout :

-as the name says, it’s mixed

-a little harder to find blind spots but not too bad

-use tips from other layouts

Boutique/round floor plan

(I couldn’t find a photo online so I drew it on picsart)

-these are used for high end shoe stores, jewelery etc

-Things displayed on the wall

-cashier can see everything

-hardest to conceal in

-I don’t suggest!!!

(There’s a couple more but idk alot about them/I haven’t been into a store with them so i don’t know how it works)

–Things stores use to prevent lifting, using their layouts or SAs–

(These aren’t all obviously but I haven’t seen many of these on tumblr)

-Greeters.

They greet you on your way in the store, it’s supposed to syke you out and make you think they know you’re there

(They usually forget you as long as you’re not sus, especially in big stores like walmart )

-Checkouts

Placing checkouts where people have to pass it to leave. This deters lifting because lifters think it’s sus to just walk past the cashier and out of the store. However that’s not usually the case. They honestly don’t care

-Short shelves/displays

They keep shelves and displays waist/stomach height so they can see possible lifters overtop and it makes it harder to conceal 

-Shoplifting signs

These are placed in the front of the store, the washrooms or high up  (while you look for cams) these are meant to deter a lifter but sometimes there aren’t even cameras or anything to catch you lifting.

(Like burglars are less likely to break into a house/car with a safety system sign)

That all I have at the moment! Any questions about what’s written or anything else , just message me!

[heavenlylifter]

this is a valuable post, i think everyone should give it a read
