Proposals for Panty Deliveries
I've been wondering for a while if there isn't a simple solution to the problem of shipping panties (shoes, stockings, etc.) legally within the United States. I know some people do well despite the risks, but why not simply eliminate the risk entirely? The problem with sending panties and similar items through most shipping services is that they are considered biohazards (due to bodily fluids on the materials). So my first thought was starting a hazmat/waste management company specifically specializing in small parcels. My second thought was that laundry services that make pickups and deliveries manage to do business, so why wouldn't someone who wanted to receive items in need of laundering be able to receive a delivery of such items? In the event that an item needing laundering was not returned to its owner, a laundry service would likely replace the lost item. So how do those businesses handle the "hazardous"nature of their jobs?
So some type of website or an app or a service wherein the seller discloses that the items they're sending can be legally considered "hazardous" and the customer accepts any risk or liabilities of the materials would seem to be prudent. The next problem-how do the items get delivered without a fleet of vehicles-seemed simpler. I figured that since people can start driving for Uber, UberEats, and similar services, that there are similar crowdsourcing apps for delivering parcels. My Googling revealed that these apps do in fact exist, which gave me hope.
Now this may not yet be useful to people in isolated areas and small towns (we get everything last), but prospective sellers in a densely enough populated city can not only legally send their items to their customers without fear (possibly increasing but demand, but definitely facilitating supplying customers w/their products), but this stimulates the local economy by increasing the need for drivers. I live near a moderately large city and I might not care to sell panties myself, but if I became a driver for this service, I could pick up the package and deliver it, receiving payment from the customer for my delivery run.
I may be overcomplicating this idea, but I knew of people sending cabbies out for their food long before Uber/Uber Eats existed.Sometimes you just don't want to run an errand yourself, and someone else may have no problem with doing that errand.
Watcha think?

Actually I thought it was just a USPS thing, so you could send through UPS or FedEx and be fine. If I'm wrong, then this could be a good idea.

It's illegal every which way. Dirty panties, etc. are considered biohazardous material and illegal to ship through any service. I may be overthinking the idea of crowdsourced logistics/parcel delivery though.

Not to be judgy, but after interacting with customers as a stripper and camgirl, I don't think it's a great idea to send people to physically deliver things to their homes. Anonymous mail deliveries by a postal worker are one thing, but a business just for sex-related items seems like it could encounter some undesirable problems.
Re: Proposals for Panty Deliveries
Well, I have been selling panties for two years now and I never had any problems. Now, selling panties is a legal grey area in the USA and it can be profitable. However, people must be okay with men having, tasting, smelling, and using their dirty panties. Personally, I have no problems with this because it is extra money in my pocket and panty sale guys are totally different than other sex work customers. They care about the panties and their smells/taste only. Ebanned and other US panty selling business do not encounter too many problems legally because they are listing base websites. You see, these listing base websites allow for you to sell anything within reason as long as you used your own payment methods.However, the only exceptions would be selling panties on ebay and Etsy. :)

Re: Proposals for Panty Deliveries
Your service proposal would only work if you are more of third party listing website instead of openly catering to panty sellers and their customers. You see, this way you would not have an payment processor asking you a lot of questions. Payment processors would not approve a new site for panty sales unless they are more cryptocurrency or indie payment processor . Actually, selling panties in the USA is an legal grey area and people should talk to legal representative as panty seller. Plus, many independent online panty sellers such as myself would not feel comfortable with a uber type of panty delivery service. This is because many love sending off the panties themselves. It would be more better for independent in-person panty sellers who meet their clients and have them buy all of their used panties. However, you would have to gain trust by becoming apart of the panty selling community for those panty sellers to use your service. Best of luck with your business endeavor! It seems pretty cool but you need to talk to more panty sellers to see if they would be interested in it :)

Right, it seems like I was overcomplicating things. No need to solve a problem that really doesn't exist. :) Thanks for the feedback.
