Sourcing, also known as procurement, is the practice of locating and selecting businesses or individuals based on set criteria.

Shopping basically. My laptop bag broke in spectacular fashion the other day and ended up nearly being very very expensive.
Therefore I want a GoRuck GR1, but I need someone in the US to lie on customs forms so I don't get stung with £££ bill.
There isn't a single UK distributor of either GoRuck or Aer stuff which makes me sad.

I used ShipItTo a while back to buy a load of stuff from the states. For a few dollars they'll open the original parcel, remove and invoices, pricing and packaging and fill the customs declaration however you want.
Ended up saving quite a bit on the shipping and customs fees as I had them combine 3 separate packages inside the states into one to be sent here
I know that doofus. I just wanted some context. Nobody says what hyburnuts said. He's a psycho.

It isn't really.How can that be legal?
It was mainly useful for combining the shipping costs as one item was $35 shipping to the UK alone, the whole lot cost me around that in delivery etc before the customs fees.
A friend of mine is looking to 'source' office space and finance staff (and obviously all office fitout, etc) in the uk in the next 6 months to profit from the eu if Britain does brexit. I pointed him at Lloyds last month re. insurance.

Just got in from working a bit late as I'm on leave next week and was preparing. Now got to make pasta dough for ravioli. Took me 2 hours for one small plate of food last night. Practising things is boring and long.

Subtle, but very good
They could do it with a few other words too

Feel your pain. Once had a numpty of a newly qualified 4th engineer do that by using an 18 inch long wheel key on the gearbox of a butterfly valve. Oh, and he had a habit of running centrifugal pumps with their discharge valves closed. Which isn’t a problem at initial startup, but becomes one when left like that overnight.
