DNM user for about 9 months and heavy forum reader, practice opsec, always pgp, etc. I am super duper careful about my vendor choice (vendor choice and vetting consume 75% of my DNM time) and I never order internationally. Personal use only (3-5 per month) and no one knows I do this. Live alone in a house i own, in a high-end PUD (nothing gets stolen in my 'hood and there is never a reason to get the dreaded 'we-missed-you-slip"). Also typically order (relatively) low risk gear like psychs and RX amps. Sampled cannatreats legendary wares once, but never cannabis flowers.
Out of 50+ orders, I have never had a scare or lost parcel until about 6 weeks ago. Very small order of adhd rx for myself disappeared. Used vendor previously, no probs. Tracking indicated nothing funny, out for delivery, and just never delivered. Still to this day, I can track it and it's still out for delivery in my city, along with acknowledging tx has not been updated since that date. Both the vendor and I spent 2 weeks harassing usps and all they could say was that it was likely lost. Can track it today, same status. out for delivery almost 2 mos ago. Same vendor reshipped and it sailed right thru. Vendor has top-notch stealth, especially for less than 20 RX capsules.
So fast forward to recently. Expecting similar small (10) RX stims for a week. Getting nervous because it's late and this vendor is as pro as they come (3rd order with this vendor (different from lost package vendor). This package (small priority envelope) arrives a week after vendor dropped in the mail. It's wrapped in a "We Care....." plastic wrap. Open plastic wrap and the priority (again, it's a smaller one) has been torn open via the tab/string. As in, it wasn't chewed up by a machine or run over by a forklift. Inside, sealed manilla padded envelope has also been opened. Vendor's (very small) MBB inside is still sealed and meds are totally intact. Address and return are printed and legit, appropriate postage altho 2 stamps rather than printed.
I didn't panic or contact the vendor while waiting because I am very cautious, don't sell/deal, have a relatively clean house... and again, I've lost one before which seems about average over a certain # of orders. And this vendor is super trusty.
Of course the first thing I did was track it now that I had the parcel. Here's the history: Dropped in the mail in a big city a couple states from mine on friday. Arrives in my city Saturday night. Sits in my city sort/arrival PO from saturday night until tuesday AM (normal for USPS activity to stop saturday night) But then!! it's suddenly back in the vendor's state, although a very different, but very large city. No record of it departing my city as you would expect - you usually see all arrival and departure events. It doesn't hang around long. It goes from one PO facility to another (normal) in the same city... over the next 24 hrs. Leaves vendor state (again, totally different city from vendor) at the crack of dawn thursday (6 days after ship) and ends up in my mailbox friday, 7 days later after vendor dropped it. With that goddamn plastic on it.
I've been around long enough to have learned not to sweat slightly delayed parcels. It was the tampering, plastic wrap, and odd reroute that made me post.
tldr: priority envelope from a top notch vendor containing a tiny amt of personal use RX hits my city in 24 hrs, chills from sat night til tuesday AM in my city and inexplicably reroutes back to the vendor state but different city. goes from one facility to another within the same city(this is normal, happens in my city. receive, sort, truck) and then eventually gets back to my city 6 days after ship. Arrives clearly opened and examined with a "We care" (google it) plastic wrap on it. Product intact, but parcel almost certainly deliberately opened by a human hands.
So, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?
Maybe your postman is on to you,and did this to give you a heads up. Perhaps he did not want to go as far as to call the police on you, but to scare you enough not to order anymore. He sees the fancy neighborhood you live in, your big house, and doesn't want to cause you too much problems, seeing as you look like a contributing member to society who has gone off track. So he fucks with you just enough that you'll stop using him as a drug mule...just my thoughts ;)
