Does Postal Service profile you if you get packs consistently internationally?

Title says it all. I used to do domestic only until I saw how much better prices are else where.

Anyways, will it raise suspiscion to the good ole Mail People, seeing that I keep getting packages from probably the same return addresses from the same country?

Im in the US and just dont want customs profiling my shit and one day deciding to rip open a 1000 pack landing me in jail for the next 5 years. Thanks

from my 100+ orders I would say about 80% have been international.

maybe I just have a lot of family in other countries and they like to send me shit.

I have ordered some real stupid shit off amazon from asia just to see if it makes it. Bored. Crazy candy, little toys for kids, etc. Cheap fun when the pack lands 45 days later and it has all kinds of fucked up customs shit and postage smeared all over it. Its almost as though I like to clog up the mail to help hide those needles in the haystack ;)

I sincerely hope they are profiling me over toys and candy, shit shoes, hats and t-shirts. Fucking assholes.

nah you're good. there's tons of international sellers on ebay/amazon/etc. it really doesn't phase them unless you or the specific package itself gives them reason to suspect

You would not believe how much of the stuff you buy on eBay comes from international sellers

How should they? AFAIK the return address not saved anywhere in the system hence no records of the mail you received. Make sure the vendor changes the return address frequently - if he doesn't, you don't want to place and order with him in the first place.

No, people get international mail all the time.

Noooooo! Really? I would never have guessed. Its not like Americans to show poor understanding of the mail, be paranoid, and think that a massive organisation can harbour a "suspicion" against one person. Because the majority of postal workers remember just how many letters from another country each of the 200,000,000 population has received.

They have meetings at each of the thousands of mail depots every week, where every postal worker has a chance to raise his hand and say "Mrs Goldberg of 27 jackson Avenue has received at least 14 items of mail from Israel over the last 18 months. i noticed when using the fork lift truck every day."

"we need to all be suspicious and "profile" her shit. Mail profiling is a real thing. keep a look out for mass-produced brown envelopes made by a company called "jiffy" with a printed label."

"You can't miss a thing like that. I only saw two million last month as I toiled in rain and shine through an unrelenting shitstorm of literally millions of tonnes of mail passing through the US postal system that means nothing to me"

"In particular, keep a mental total of the number of overseas "packs" that 20 year-old reddit user " [Fresh Account]itsaprankbrochill" receives. He's special somehow, so we've been asked to ruin his life"

LETS HOPE HE DOESN'T ASK REDDIT FOR IT'S OPINION. Because what people say, think or feel has an actual effect on the mail, and can change something. Receiving mail isn't a completely passive thing that happens whether you are alive or dead, at home or on holiday, awake or asleep, paranoid or barred-out on xanax"

"Receiving letters isn't just something that happens to you, over which you have no control and asking other people for their opinion of YOUR mail doesn't display a mind as weak as a 40W light bulb." "No Sir. People who don't think hard about their "pack" with a furrowed brow get arrested, because their thoughts are the only thing stopping their mail from being casually openned and read by postal workers, in our role as moral guardians. Soon, the law will be changed so that those opaque paper coverings or "envelopes" will have to be transparent so that postal workers can sit in libraries for hours a day reading everything sent by everybody because its totally our job. My 200 thousand unionized colleagues feel the same, because thousands of people who've never met each other and don't know each other's names let alone some college kid on an envelope can have an overall "feeling" about something"

"or somebody"

So yes. You are in great danger. "They" are definitely watching you.
