Instead of this crazy trade system, which I find to be a pain mostly, we should be able to "ship" items to others by making them an attachment to an in-game email.

Make it so that there is a planetary vendor terminal that lists all the vendor registered with the planetary map. You can view what each vendor is carrying and have it shipped to you for a smallextra fee.

Yeah
definately! imagine, you check the terminals for a delivery mission.. the reward or "postage" is set by the person sending it and you can then deliver the package. This would also integrate really well into JTL I think - imagine a courier service from say Tatooine to Dantooine.. perhaps having to get some people to escort him etc..

We have had a delivery company, UPS, on Intrepid for well over a year now. You need something picked up or dropped off anywhere in the galaxy, you send them a tell and they usually find you or your package within 10 minutes.
I would settle for a mailbox system. Something you could have things dropped off in and that you could give access to certain players to grab certain items.

I would say for a fee packages could be sent to either your safety deposit box or inventory, for those who haven't activated their deposit box. You could send stuff from your datapad to others by email, draft schematics, deeds, that sort of thing. It would make custom order delivery a lot easier, I'm not really sure what kind of impact it would have on vendor and bazaar trading.

Why don't you use what is already in place.
Smugglers can't smuggle so use them to deliver you sales.
Of course if you use me I'l cost you.

There's a big trust factor concerned here, and would be hard to inaugrate into a society so easily envious.
How about getting a voucher or a coupon that represents the item being delivered, and once it reaches its chosen target, it would turn back into the item it was supposed to be. These voucher would only turn back once they are in the hands of the target, and that player has activated the switch via the radial menu. They would otherwise then be useless and worthless.
I dunno, brainstorming

Glad someone said this. Smugglers need something to feel like smugglers.
