Why are mushroom listings usually domestic only?

Well, I was thinking about ordering some mushrooms for my mates and I. It seems most listings are domestic only. Though there are some that ship worldwide, is there a reason why most vendors won't? Are shrooms easier to detect or something? From what I understand, they don't smell, and can be easily flattened.

Too bulky for the price, an oz of mushies is cheaper than an oz of Ganga. Also they do have a smell, they smell like wet dogs lol

It's probably because most people who sell shrooms probably grow them themselves, and they kind of are "part time vendors" in a sense. They only want to deal with domestic postage because it's easier and simpler, and for someone who vends purely on the side, it makes more sense.

Speaking from personal experience (I'm a mushroom vendor on Dream/DHL/Oasis/AB). I don't ship internationally because I can sell all of my stock in the USA anyways. USA is one of the largest drug consuming countries in the world. I don't want to deal with international postage unless I really have to. Even then, I sell whole shrooms, not crushed or powdered. I don't think it's wise to ship whole shrooms internationally. It's fine to do it domestic though because those packs don't get x-rayed.

Why would you order them international? don't shrooms grow in your country?

There is a reason, and I will tell you what it is.

If the mail you are sending is anything other than a flat letter that might have anything except paper in it, you must:

  1. go into a post office where there are CCTV cameras recording your face, height, build, skin color, clothes, hair, tattoos and other identifying marks ... possibly also your vehicle's license plates if you were dumb enough to park in the post office parking lot
  2. hand the mail item to a postal worker at the counter thereby getting your fingerprints on the package or large envelope or bubble evelope
  3. fill out a customs form (getting your fingerprints on it too) that declares what the item is, who you are and give the recipient's info

So you greatly increase your risk of being identified and busted just so you can profit, what? $60?

Contrast this with the process for mailing an oz of shrooms USA -> USA:

  1. You vac seal the shrooms and box them in a free Priority Mail box which you anonymously grabbed at a post office. The tracking label was free and no id needed too. You only had to buy stamps but you didn't need to ID yourself.
  2. You label it with whatever address info you want.
  3. As long as your box does not weigh over 13 oz and has proper postage affixed, you drop said box in any blue USPS mail bin which are located all over the place
  4. Do all of the above with gloves on and you're fine.

A lot of vendors like to basically grind up the mushrooms and then send that so that it is more compact. That's what a lot of the vendors used to be, but idk if it is still that way. Just seems like maybe its too bulky for what the vendors want.

So same thing for the fact of it being domestic. They might not want to ship international if its too bulky.

Mushrooms DO smell. Any damp and they turn to mush (except philosopher's stones which are naturally quite dry. They can be shipped to the UK and are a legal grey area, because magic mushrooms only become illegal here when dried).

Because the shroom community is fucking genius level smart, that's why. And yes, I commend us for such a thing. Thank you very much.

If you don't like what's offered, please, feel free to go about growing your own. It's cheaper and the user gains much more than just a buzz from it all. Great hobby to par take in, if I don't say so myself!

ok I guess it makes sense that if you're not moving keys, make it easy by only shipping domestic.

Btw i'm not US based.

Anyone has any good experience ordering shrooms interntionally? From who/where?

its an issue of economics

mushrooms are less profitable than weed, but have a smaller market of people that want to buy them

and are even more fragile to ship than weed

simply isnt worth the risk for the money involved


[0 Points] None:

Because you can grow them, and unlike weed, doesn't require much thinking and techniques such as trimming and so

4-aco-dmt is also almost the same thing.
