I'm just wondering at what point the Amazon boxes get the address labels appended on them.
Do the same people who know what's in the boxes also put the address labels on??
I'm just saying man... it stands to reason that somebody somewhere along the way is gonna start having some thoughts.
It's not a big concern for people who don't order A LOT of stuff from Amazon. I guess.
I dunno though... from what I can tell, it seems to matter what type of items are paired together.
Some item pairings click in peoples' minds and send the wheels turning.
What I'm not clear on is whether the people who know what's in the boxes also know where they're going and to who.
The people who work in those fulfillment centers have to work so damned fast that they don't have time to think about each order.
That's true 99.99999% of the time.
You'd be surprised what people are capable of though... somebody out there has godlike ability.
If you're not a drone who can happily perform repetitive menial tasks day after day, you probably won't last long enough in a job like that to get up to any mischief.
That's a great point Dev.
But I've also heard of peeps from all walks of life taking jobs at Amazon warehouses etc.
It's the kind of job that ANYONE could happen across for a time.
I'm just saying, I think there are some extremely skilled people out there who can do all that work AND be thinking in their own personal interests while they're doing it.
Definitely have learned not to underestimate people, I mean we did go to the moon. There are rocket scientists out here. Lol.
I get where you're coming from though...
To be clear I don't think anybody is truly up to anything, at least not now, but I do believe somebody working one of those jobs was erm, remarkable.
That's all I'm gonna say because there are just a lot of bizarre details and reasons behind why I'm asking about this and why I've explored this avenue as a possible explanation.
It's all good, but I just wanted to put a topic about it out there. It occurred to me after posting that most likely this idea has been brought up on other online communities and I could have just Googled it. But nevertheless, it's fine to have a topic about it here too.

Naturally. The type of person who is looking to improve their own station in life most likely isn't going to be worrying about what a customer is going to do with all the stuff they ordered from Amazon though. They might have a passing thought, such as "Hey, is this chick gonna make a bomb with this stuff?" but then they're on to filling the next order.

Are you creating a new product and wondering if an enterprising warehouse worker will put two and two together and steal your idea? You have more to worry about from Amazon itself. If you sell an innovative product on Amazon, it's a safe bet they'll copy it and push you out of the market.

I did do this recently and knew that Amazon itself was stealing my ideas every step of the way... China will end up doing what I was intending to do. I'll still do it but yeah, they are constantly selling this info. I was never concerned about the workers themselves as it pertains to this matter though, definitely not. Better a worker take my idea than Amazon/the Chinese. The workers can have it.
If your product entails any kind of blueprints, schematics, or any kind of documentation that can prove it's your intellectual property, you can put secret marks in the documents that no one can see without going to extraordinary lengths to find them.
One guy put a tiny copyright notice in his schematics that you'd have to zoom in on a zillion times to see it in a CAD program. When someone began selling knockoffs, he took them to court and showed the judge the copyright notice.
That is an excellent DIY safeguard...
Dev you are diamond encrusted gold for sharing this!
