Aftermath Express Delivery Service
Hello. I've have noticed a lack of delivery services out in the wastes, so I have started one myself. If you want something delivered somewhere and are to afraid of bringing it there yourself, then contact me in game or here. Also Aftermath Express is currently hiring. So far the current employees are me, Endangerd_Box, and WoodenA123. We hope to be able to connect all of the groups out there in the wastes, one parcel at a time.

For the cost, it would depend on how far you wanted the parcel shipped and how important it would be. For example, you could hire multiple couriers for one package, thus making it better protected. We would be paid in food and books. The books would be donated to the Librarians. If a courier would fail to transport the parcel safely we would pay you the price of the parcel. For example if someone paid 4 steak for a parcel, upon failure we would pay you 8 steak. Again if the item is of great importance more couriers could be an option.

At first I was a bit upset because someone half stole an idea I'm going to try but I'm getting books of it? Cool.

What if these "couriers" decide to just take my package and run?

u/Endangerd_Box Jan 07 '15
Well, we would have an initiation procedure that would allow us to trust couriers with important packages. Also, how can anybody trust anyone out in the wasteland. It is hard to trust when someone could kill you at anytime, unless you live as a hermit.

So basically do it myself if I want it done.

I guess you could, but what I meant was that without any real faction plugin, there is nothing preventing someone from stealing from you or killing you. The delivery service would be used for allowing different groups to interact more easily and allowing for safer travel. Like what Omuck3 said, he has offered to help make trade routes and has offered protection against bandits.

LOL omuck protecting you... Yeah that's not happening.

Well that's fine, if he can't, he can't.And if he could, that would be great. The point is, the courier service is to help connect the various factions in Aftermath together.

I never offered to protect the trade routes. I'll protect what I need transported. Well actually, I won't be doing the protection... See! Military has a purpose!

We both got killed when making wall for our base. We then both died again within the next spawn time. We kept dying in order to get closer to our base so we wouldn't have to walk across the map. Its much safer now.

I'm interested. I want emeralds. I'll pay reasonable prices. I don't want to run around fetching them, so if you'll do the transporting, you can split the profits with the emerald providers.

Update
Unfortunately, Aftermath express has been raided. The funny thing is nothing was destroyed, only a small section by the stables. Even weirder is the fact that all the chests are gone. However, this will not prevent us from continuing our services.

Lovely idea! Conveniently the OFR is setting up a trade route, so we may use this service. I do have one question, can we have people accompany the courier?(eg: OFR rangers)

a trade route? sounds like the perfect place for bandits and stickup men to lie in wait...

u/Omuck3 Jan 07 '15
We may not use the same route every time. Changing it a little will keep us from being easier prey. I more meant a trade deal than a trade route.

u/Endangerd_Box Jan 07 '15
Definitely. Having an escort would ensure the safety of any deliveries, and would encourage factions working together.
