**Please see comments from Dawn @schoomkie she is a Postal Mail Carrier and knows the real deal! REPORT any mail carrier you see smoking! I had NO idea!! I've received a couple things that smelled of smoke when the seller said nothing about being a smoker (FYI Poshers - nonsmokers CARE about that)...or so heavily perfumed that I had a migraine for days! Be very sure before accusing either the Postal Carrier or the Seller!👍🏽

mixitupYeah I have seen some of them smoking while holding packages. Sharing @la_boutique @motherskiss @tigeress @tay57

Jul 08Reply

pscI also have purchased items that never mentioned they were from a smoking home and the item reeked of cigarette smoke :( The box tissue and card enclosed did too :( I still can't wear the item and it's been months since I purchased it

Jul 09Reply

abstractdreams@psc : does the mail carrier smoke? I had NO IDEA they were allowed!!

Jul 09Reply

pscNo not here and it was way to smokey smelling from the tissue card box and item especially the item I had to rake to a jeweler to have him professionally clean which cost me a lot of money more than I paid for the item purchased

Jul 09Reply

pscThe seller should be required to tell buyers if from a smoking home

Jul 09Reply

abstractdreams@psc : Unless wrapped in plastic, I think smoke permeates everything! But it's not right, either way. People who smoke don't realize that for some...it's a BIG DEAL!👎That's why I mentioned in this listing...tell me, it make a difference to ME.👍

Jul 09Reply

mixitup@psc I honestly believe it has to do sometimes with smoke getting on it thru transit. I had items shipped in ziploc bags and the card and inside smelled heavily of smoke while the inside of the Ziploc smelled great.

Jul 09Reply

maggie_pie@linmp1031 yes, I have had a handful of packages arrive that have totally reeked of smoke, and I'm very allergic to it. I believe, though that it was the sellers in my case, because I know my mailman is a nonsmoker...and it smelled much much stronger on the INSIDE of the box than the OUTSIDE. The clothes were so drenched in smoke smell that even professional dry cleaning could not remove the odor. They were unusable for me. Unless all of your mail smells of smoke and the outside of the box smells more than the inside, I would be careful not to blame the mail carrier too quickly. Many ppl selling are just not very honest, unfortunately. It's a very disappointing thing.

Jul 09Reply

mixitup@maggie_pie in your case can you ask the sellers to put your items in a zip lock or something that wraps it up? Let them know you're allergic and hopefully none come reeking. Other postal workers delete ring it may smoke. I've seen it numerous times. My mail doesn't smell but I typically see this happen with packages not letters. Not sure why that is. I've had things drenched in perfume so bad it had to go away or be put away for months. Yeah sellers should be more respectful. I have a dog it's mentioned on my profile not every item. But obviously I'd let the potential buyer know.

abstractdreams@mixitup : Perfume is my pet peeve too! I have Lupus & any kind of over the top scent can mess my head up for days!😖👎 How's Miss maggie_pie? I lover her to pieces!💕

Jul 10Reply

mixitup@linmp1031 oh geez yeah perfume isn't good. Their should be a checklist we could post around. Check off all that apply so buyers know ahead of time. Like pets smoking shipping time average if items are washed or dry cleaned after sold etc if that makes sense. Then each sellers checks which ones apply to them. I don't write pet household on every item too time consuming on my phone. But I would hope people look at profiles.

Jul 10Reply

abstractdreams@maggie_pie : It was the seller's in my case also, my mail carrier doesn't smoke either. I'm just pointing out that It's in their contract (which I find stunning!). Not good.

andrea_27sI was reading the comments and it hadn't occurred to me to not perfume my box with a spritz. It's not heavy but there is people who are allergic. Yicks... Guess I will stop that one.

Jul 14Reply

abstractdreams@andrea_27s : You're so cute hon! If it was bad, I'm sure you would've heard about it & I think the chances are that if YOU can tolerate it, others can too. My illness makes me way more sensitive to smoke than perfume, tho it has caused me to stop wearing scents of any kind (wish we could sell them on PM).

Jul 14Reply

andrea_27sYeah my immune system is severally compromises my respiratory system apparently . I figured as much since I always needed steroids and inhalers but they just confirmed it last month. I have some glad plugs in so my house smells nice for my sister and nieces trip here but I'm about to rip them out of the wall! My head is pounding lol. I usually wear weak body spray... I found one perfume that isn't strong! YAY!! 😀

kimberlydriskelI've had this problem on ebay before and a friend told me about this spray called oozum (not sure sp?) Anyway I sprayed the shirt and then washed it and it was fine. But anything made of leather seemed to really hold onto the smell. The spray did help with the leather items but unfortunately didn't take it away completely

Aug 04Reply

msbsboutiqueI've had 2 complaints recently that my clothes smelled of smoke but I don't smoke & don't allow smoking in my house. I was so upset! The first buyer gave me a 4 star rating & said she didn't mind washing the tops, although I offered her a complete refund, even if the smell doesn't come out after she washes the tops. The second buyer gave me 1 star on a brand new skirt that I wrapped in tissue with ribbon & even sent a nice free gift. I think the rating was completely unfair as she based the entire transaction on 1 issue, yet she refused a refund. I have received several purchases that were covered in pet hair & smelled awful. I think sellers should also disclose the fact that they have pets.

Aug 05Reply

naturelover@eserna OMG I didn't know this. I was accused once I think a while back and although there is no smoking in my house so none of my items would smell like smoke I offered a full refund but now it makes sense. Thanks for sharing.

kimsthingsI was wrongly accused of this.... Twice!!!!! I could not understand. My sister smokes, but does not live with me. So I assumed smoke smell got on the items somehow by going places ( outdoor concerts, events, family picnics???... A few smokers in my family... Again not living with me)... Then I saw it!!!! My mail man having a cigarette!!!! Holy crap!!! Lol. My posh reputation means so much to me. I have received a couple items that slightly smell of smoke on posh, I simply wash or air out. I will never blame a fellow posher!!! It's too upsetting, and quite frankly, a pretty easy fix. Great post!!!!💖

izzy40@linmp1031 , so true! I once purchased an item that smelled like a sewer. 💩😁 Got a Coach crossbody purse for my daughter, it looked cute on the pic (it's was not too bad either) but my goodness, as I opened the box, the stench was terrible. I made sure to get my coworkers opinion to justify I'm not going bonkers. They all said the same thing. I asked the seller (who I'm not going to mention anymore) why it smelled so bad, but never got an answer. 👎 Hope all Poshers make sure, items are clean/ed before mailing it. Let's be honest and considerate. We purchase with confidence...pls don't ruin it. Thanks. That's all. Anyway, Happy Poshing, you all. 😃

kristilynn28This is great. My mailman doesn't smoke (thankfully) but he's not the only one touching my packages. I try to always ask now if the seller is a smoker. I bought a really nice purse and it smelled so bad. I asked the seller if she smoked, and she said yes, but I keep all my sell items in another room. 😧 Smokers can't smell it, so she had no idea the stuff still smelled. And yes, it can be almost impossible to get that smell out once it's in there 😞 Great post Linda!

She and her clothes smell good. Not to sound creepy lol she's a very sweet person just like yourself. That lady obviously has something up with her. Anyways I had a bad rating recently off an item I had at a family's house. 0 smokers she's allergic has asthma and items were washed and like new so yes it came from shipping. The postman smokes it's unfortunate. I'm glad to see a post like this truly.

Sep 08Reply

Oct 19Reply

petunia07Had no idea of this. Will share but also will state I've had some that were definitely from the seller. They never stated they smoked and it took 6 washes with line drying 5 of the times to get the smell out. Also used oxi clean in those loads. I think if you get something and have a way to let it totally air out a week outside you could get the smell out with less washes. But did have a few it was only on the outside of box (sub delivery person was only one who smoked thank god) so now I can say it was definitely from them :)

Nov 05Reply

carlysmommmaYou can always ask the seller to tape over any gaps (corners, seams) in the shipping box. Smoke can permeate cardboard, but sealing off gaps can help. Also, asking buyers so put items in a zip bag can also add to the protection against smoke and rain, too. My wearables are always wrapped in dry cleaning bags.

Nov 07Reply

gailsjewels@linmp1031 I have received a few packages that smelled so badly but worse on the inside. I've known my mailman for 5 years now and he doesn't smoke. I notified the seller and she said yes she smokes but it;s none of my business. My items smelled so badly and I could not get the smoke out of them and it made me very sick as I;m on chemo for cancer and my little girl has asthma so it wasn't fair. I wanted my money back because I paid so much for my items but PM had already released my funds because when the package was delivered I was in the hospital having a 2.5 inch tumor removed form my chest and by the time I did get home PM had already released the money to her. This has happened a couple of times. I wish people were just honest but i guess that's asking to much. Btw, you use to follow me and your not now. PM has been having some issues with this and they say there working on it but many people aren't aware of it. I've had many people ask me why I'm not following them anymore so I go to check and I'm not. If your not aware you may be loosing followers. Anyway, I hope you'll follow me again. Have a wonderful evening, Gail xoxo

Dec 17Reply

abstractdreams@gailsjewels : I'm sorry to hear that Gail, it IS your business whether you buy from someone who smokes or not & it's a clear violation of Posh's terms for a seller to be dishonest or misleading! I hope you reported them. In most cases Posh will warn the seller & refund your money.

Dec 17Reply

gailsjewels@linmp1031 no I did not report her because I had found out she sold me fake items and I did not want to get in trouble from posh for me buying a fake even though I had no idea it was fake as its so hard to tell on here and if they lie about it what can you do? I didn't want to get in trouble so I just lost a lot of money to here. She was so very rude to me when I asked her about it.

Dec 17Reply

abstractdreams@gailsjewels : You won't get in trouble for unknowingly buying fakes, but the seller should be penalized. For selling fakes and being dishonest...Posh wants that info to improve the site. You can easily report without revealing anything about yourself by pressing the button on the top right when you go to a closet. It allows you to report or block.👍

mmoon_childIt's a disgusting addiction but that's just it-an addiction. It's hard to get over addictions to anything if you've ever had one. Mail carriers are people too, people who unfortunately have a bad addiction.

sondysquirrelYes...im a smoker, so heres a tip...wash 2times & also when drying, use 2 lavender or your favorite scented drier sheets both times after @ wash! Store your inventkry in a non-smoking room or sealed away from smoke! 3 x on gentle might be best! 3rd time no detergent! Or use woolite or this other brand i use for babies & sensitive skin...hmmmm. brain fart? Ill get back to y'all on that one!

abstractdreams@sondysquirrel : It's not just non-smokers being picky about the smoke...many people (read my Fibro-Girl listing) are negatively affected healthwise by smoke. I posted this jn support of sellers who were being wrongly accused of lying about smoking to buyers who were very upset.👍

Apr 11Reply

scoops639I realized this with a vintage Coach purchase. The seller assured me there were no "funky smells." When I opened it, it smelled overwhelmingly of smoke. I was disappointed! It aired out a couple days and went away, to my relief. i passed the mail carrier on the way home the next day . He was smoking a cigar...a CIGAR! It was raining the day my purse was delivered, so add humidity to cigar smoke, and you get a seriously "funky smell." So glad I realized what happened and didn't accuse the seller.

abstractdreams@katielady1982 : It's nasty & pretty upsetting for people who have chronic health issues effected by smoke, perfume etc.! I had a mail carrier who smoked years ago & recently lost a great carrier to a route change & got another one! And this guy's rude on top of that!👎🏽

chiefofstyle@abstractdreams Ugh. Yessss!! I've received several packages that reeeeeeeek of cigarette smoke!! It's so bad, I've reported it to Poshmark. I didn't think a mail carrier would/could really be so inconsiderate!! Grr...thanks for the info!

920designsI wonder if smoke outside a concealed box affects the contents. I've received packages where the items marinated in smoke. I have left them in garage & after a good cleaning or 2 are useable. But the smoke smell in my house radiates, pick up on it quick that's why I leave it in garage, for a bit.

abstractdreamsI read that you were on another listing. I live in MI & have had several who did.👎🏽Idk about this one being fired, the original is from another Posher. I'm staggered because I had a great carrier for the last five tears or so & she just retired.😒Nasty guy now. I swear he jumps on my pkgs! Lol. @schoomkie

abstractdreams@schoomkie : I thought the policy was "in the truck". I've never seen a carrier walking & smoking. That would be bad. Lol

abstractdreams@schoomkie : I can tell you value what you do & I'm sure do it well. There's every indication of that in your closet. No offense. I should put in a disclaimer...seriously. This has been up for years & you're the first postal employee.

abstractdreams@schoomkie : That's the listing I read. Have no idea who the seller is, I click on cool closet names at random. I feel bad. I'm a Sleep Tech & patients hates us! Idk why, we fix things without drugs or surgery! I get that some pol think they may lose their job based on what the diagnosis is...but I'm not the Doc!! I hope you don't die of embarrassment! I mentioned about perfume! Bigger issue for me, I have Lupus & lung probs!👎🏽

abstractdreams@schoomkie : I'll do that Dawn! Lol! I'm glad to get the straight story about it!👍🏽

abstractdreams@schoomkie : Ditto for me! It seems like a good idea at the time, I'm sure...but man.😖

beckey68This is crazy. I am so stealing this,( if it's okay with you ) with my lung disease I can't be around smokers at all. The smoke is bad for me and with my being on oxygen the spark or flame could kill me, so there is no smoking in my house or anywhere near me! Thanks for the great post! 🚭🚭

abstractdreams@beckey68 : Did you read some of the last posts? Dawn is an actual mail carrier in FL & said that this guy (and any other carrier smoking on the job) should be fired!! It's apparently not in their contract... A bigger prob for you would be Posher's who unknowingly douse their packages with perfume prior to sending! That's happened to me more often than smoke.👎🏽😒

beckey68So far neither has happened, I received some wonderfully clean smelling clothes, some not so clean, but no smoke or perfume, yet. But I would like to post this to let people know how smoke affects me. That way if they are a smoker they will know. I believe most people are inherently honest, that they just don't think about the things they do and when caught making a mistake they get defensive instead of apologetic. But that is human nature

beckey68I just finished reading them all. I will amend the post to the accurate information, and it's nice to hear that it isn't "in their contract!" For petes Sake !!!

abstractdreams@beckey68 For sure! You need to protect yourself...first & foremost!👍🏽

beckey68I'm really glad you found me and share bombed my closet, thank you by the way, it has been very nice talking with you. I must finally be in the right circle, because lately I have met some wonderful ladies! Thank you for adding a new one to my list, (you in case you were wondering! )Have a great evening, when you are having a bad day let me know and I will share bomb💣💣your closet, 🌹

abstractdreams@grace4d @erika75 : If you missed my earlier comment, please read up from the bottom. Dawn @schoomkie is actually a Postal carrier & said the carriers who do this are in violation of their contract and should be fired!👎🏽

erika75@abstractdreams hi :) @grace4d had mentioned one if her posh friends had an incident where a buyer said her item reeked of smoke- but she didn't smoke..so i remembered your listing.. Thought it could be insightful. Thank you Linda!!
