This post is a mix of everything popular that has happened this week and today. Last weeks turned out great, I am going to do this weekly now. I am going to have all the top posts from this week and have a brief summary of them. I am going to have two sections for each post:
First will be what the OP said and sometimes it will have some commentary from me.
Underneath that will be what users have said in the comment section
all the text in "quotes" is from a user.
I'm a mail handler for USPS. Ask me anything!
"Just figured this might help some people. I'm at work now so I might be a bit slow to respond but will be sure to cover everyone tonight. Ask me anything!"
comments
There is tons of great comments in this thread, too many for me to all put in this post but here is a few:
"Why do my MDMA orders always go missing but everything else makes it through to me just fine?"
"Can't really answer that except perhaps it's been singled out by the PIS, or maybe some shady employee is getting very very happy on your drugs." -OP
"Is it true that when a package is marked fragile staff are less likely to treat it kindly?"
"I hate to say it, but yeah I've seen it a lot. It doesn't always happen, but we frequently get slammed with forced overtime in my position and there's a couple guys in particular that make it a point to throw packages as far as they can to cages. Especially those marked fragile." -OP Full comment here

"Seized by LE"
Unfortunately I do not have a link for this post because it was deleted. A user posted a thread saying his tracking showed a status of "Seized by Law Enforcement." Of course everyone commented on the thread saying it was FUD and OP was full of shit.
So then OP provided proof.
Important info was blurred out for that users sake
Someone apparently warned the OP it was foolish to post the tracking number on a public forum. So thats why it was deleted. The parcel was domestic as well.
- Go ahead and post what you think happened in the comment section below.
Spy bill passed. Legal process no longer required to spy on US citizens.
Don't Burn everything down yet, "The bill passed the Senate earlier this week and is now on its way to President Obama." So its not a law yet. Here's a link to the full article
comments
"They were already 'allowed' to spy on us, this bill didn't really change that. But now they are allowed to spy on you, and if they find encrypted communications that is 'reasonably believed' to contain evidence of a crime, they can keep it forever. So, if they intercept a PGP message on one of the markets, they can take it without warrant and keep it indefinably." Says /u/MeAndTreesAreBFF
Some are glad they "don't live in the land of the free"
I am HumboldtFarms, I am here to address some rumors...
Looks like sandman has finally came to get rid of some rumors. "With over 2,000 sales, and a 99.9% feedback rating, how would I be still be in business if I was try to scam customers on a $30 order of chocolate chip cookies." Some believe that he is a reincarnation of PFM. He says he "copied 90% of the biggest vendors stealth" and thats why they are so similar.
comments
"Daily reminder that reddit needs to take everything with a grain of sand"
"He didn't just say it looked like sand, he tasted it. Motherfucking sand, like from the beach! Idk if he was telling the truth or not but it was pretty funny."
HumboldtFarms posted a the whole convo between him and the "MOTHER FUCKING SAND guy" Link Here
But wait!!! that was a conversation HumboldtFarms had with another user!
The plot thickens....
After the drama last week /u/gramsadmin came to the conclusion that /u/BlockchainAnalyst was right about some things. Grams wanted to make tumbling very simple for the user but the consequence was he also made it simple for "LE to guess where helix lights came from." Grams immediately corrected this problem, and over the weekend decided to make even more improvements.
- "tl;dr: I added options to helix light to make it even more secure and anonymous and I want to thank all the users who support Grams and Helix"

Sample Beggars ... I Get Sample Beggars
"The "Walter White" of MDMA, Coke, Dope, K, Modafanil, Shrooms, GHB (and any prescription pill), Filters, Opiates of all sorts, Methamphetamine, Psychedelics (especially good old LSD) and syringes, as well as Cannabis." Wants some samples
comments
"I too am a professional sampler. Sign me up."
"Must be bad with money if he can't afford to purchase samples for his multimillion dollar business."
So much happens every week, great job!
The "seized by LE" post was pretty crazy, I did not expect OP to actually post the tracking number. If they were going to do a CD I highly doubt they would show it was "Seized by Law Enforcement". Pretty obvious I guess but damn would that freak me out if I ever saw it...
