As a vendor who requires signature on his packs to be delivered (no customisation option on my shipping channel, default for international is signature), one of the most common source of concern I see from my customers is the requirement to sign for the packs. I personally believe that the very action of signing or not doesn't change a thing beside the fact that the no-signature version has the advantage of you not being bothered by your mailman and you can just pick it up from your mailbox at your convenience. The no-signature version also comes with some risk. Your pack could be stolen (possibly even by LE in the course of an investigation) or the mailman could have more of an incentive to steal it.
Lets see it from a practical point of view. If LE wants to perform a controlled delivery, they don't need a signature. They'll just watch you until they see you pick up the pack and then perform the raid anyway. The common, correct argument in favor of not having to sign for drug packs is that if you are a law abiding citizen who hasn't ordered any drugs online, and you're getting a pack containing drugs but that you don't need to sign for, you can always plea that you never ordered it and you didn't expect a pack and it was just dropped in your mailbox. Right? Well those arguments also stand if you're asked to sign for a pack. Let me explain: if you are a law abiding citizen and your mailman rings at your door telling you he has a pack for you and you need to sign, 99% of law abiding citizens would just sign and pick up the pack, regardless if they expected a pack or not. It could be your bank sending you thick documents, it could be a gift from your employer, it could be fucking anything. The perfect irony is that if you deny the pack on the very basis that you "haven't ordered anything" and "don't want to sign for it" then it actually makes you look suspicious. As a law abiding citizen, you don't expect people to send you drugs or bombs so what would be the risk of accepting an unexpected pack, or signing? its not like its a lease agreement... And just out of curiosity, any normal human being is gonna accept the pack. The pack is free, and curiosity is just human nature. In fact, signature is so meaningless both to LE and to the postal system that I've had several of my customers report to me that they didn't need to sign for their pack because their mailman signs the pack reception himself for their customer and dump it into their mailbox. if you're worried about a controlled delivery, you could also just play the game and say a "Oh? A pack for me, really? I did not expect anything. Is it free? Oh, I need to sign. sure, here you go" kind of thing.
Also, its extremely rare that law enforcement performs controlled deliveries. When they do, its because they have other evidence. In january a fuckton of xanax packs from Canada was seized by LE and as far as I know some customers got up to 10 love letters. No raids.
So... Just stop worrying about having to sign for your pack. It actually comes with a few advantages. You can be sure no one will steal it and it makes MY job easier as well.
Was just some late-night analysis. Going to bed now.
Man this is dumb.... only reason you think it's a good idea is because all of your packs have to be signed for...
The smarter option is don't order from people who you have to sign for their packs, then if you do have to sign for one you know not to...
If le will just deliver it without a CD and pick you up what's the purpose of making people sign for packs that doesn't require it .
Sorry sir but your deniability is better if you never sign for anything.... saying you didn't know any drugs were coming works better if you don't sign for them, just a fact of life... If your theory were true they wouldn't do CDs the way they do constantly...they'd just deliver and raid
