A question about seized packages?

Okay so I live in Australia, and we have shit customs, but my question is, if something gets seized when it's coming in would I ALWAYS receive a love letter of some sort? Because it seems that vendors only will ship if we FE (Not sure if it is due to the long shipping times or customs) and once we FE, they just not send the drugs and say 'Oh, well your customs is pretty tight, it mustn't of came through'. I haven't FE'd for anything, just generally curious.

Thanks, MyDogGetsHemroids.

i'm not australian and therefore my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt.

from what i understand is that if customs (in most countries) find anything illegal which is connected to an existing person/address they have to investigate further. if they find a small amount of (let's say xtc) with your name and address on it they have to at least pretend to care about if you really tried to get it mailed to you.

Your best bet is to find a vendor that has % success rates to certain countries in his/her profile. I've seen some that say like : 100% to USA, 100% to EU, 99.9% to AUS, etc etc. Also, of course, vendors who are domestic or who have refund policies if you don't get your package.

WARNING. If you are of the people's who can't be farken arrrrssed to read then.. in short.. Banana's in Australia can be really expensive sometimes and considering their lack of taste I recommend you do not buy them.

To answer your question, No you will not always receive a love letter. Let me give you a brief run down of my experience.

Some time ago, over a couple of years ago perhaps a little more, I was importing from a country Australia doesn't like, being Pakistan... (Long live Pakistan) though this was not through DNM's so I didnt have the the luxury of escrow, what I had was Pakistani's who stuck to their word to the very end. At the end of my time doing this, Overall I had around a 65% success rate. In the beginning, it was 100% for atleast 5 or 6 parcels. I had a few drop addresses, once my first drop address had a parcel held up I received a letter from customs about it as that package happened to be benzo's only.

Eventually, I had seizures on all of my address' and what I saw was that I would receive a letter from customs if the seized shipment contained only benzo's. When a shipment containing things like oxy's, and morphine caps etc was held up, I could see in the tracking it was held up at customs but for those packages I did not receive any letter. Ever. Period.

If it was purely benzo's, I got a letter outlining what they had seized and the usual legal bullshit and given the option to dispute or to do nothing. It has to do with the scheduling of the substance they intercept. Once an address has had a seizure it is flagged, HOWEVER I still managed to receive maybe 30-40% of packages sent to a flagged drop.

They can very easily keep what they seize as a case against you, and stockpile it to strengthen the case. Personally, I never had anyone 'come for me' but that may not have been that easy to do with the way I was operating.

If they make a seizure of something like a gram of coke they may or may not come to you, there is no one who can give any definitive answer either way here UNLESS what they seize is a large amount.

International Vendors generally selectively scam Aussies because we do have a bitch thing in customs; but consider this - I was receiving packages that did not have anywhere near the stealth quality most vendors on DNM's are currently using (I mean, strips of pills taped to cardboard wrapped in a tshirt and brown paper isn't what anyone an call stealth). The packages were coming from Pakistan which means they are at a higher risk of being scrutinised from the beginning and despite having packages sent to flagged address' I still received some of them at those address'.

All dogs cannot pick up all scents, They are specifically trained on limited substances. Not a lot of letter sized mail is even checked, and as if they scrutinise all x-rays on larger parcels that closely. A lot of the time they look for certain things, 'countries of origin', any information they may have received from origin countries, certain styles of stealth that have been overused etc

If an international vendor wants FE, forget about that vendor. With good stealth, goodies vacuum sealed/MBB'd, packaged in a clean environment so as to leave no traces on the packaging, disguised to blend in with regular mail and keeping the order size on the small side there is a monumentally high chance you will get the package. If you find an int'l vendor, who does not require FE, who is not a 'country of origin' or considered high risk by Aus customs then I would say you would be quite near to fine and dandy... I just havn't seen any int'l vendors lately who will ship to Aus on escrow.

Iternational vendors ask for FE because aus customs is a little notorious, has its reputation you know... Because aus customs does not love letter you for certain substances giving them opportunity to say they sent it and it must have been seized; Without that letter you clearly have no way of knowing unless you are given a tracking number and see it as being in customs. If shipping time was ever said to be an issue that's a bollocks excuse because if something actually takes that long its likely the auto-finalise would come up before the package has reached its destination anyway.

I have made many queries with many int'l vendors on markets since SR1. The common thing I have seen is you must FE and if it is seized they offer a 25% refund at most.

Go back in time before places like topix, certainly before DNM's and the complaint about the price of goodies in Aus was in a different vein... "This gear is shit, why should I pay standard price for substandard shit..."

I don't buy from int'l DNM vendors because I never found one I felt was trustworthy, the shipping time is long and incredibly unpredictable and even if one had the tracking number for the shipment there are actually risks in checking the tracking number when the shipment is combined with other risk factors from aus customs point of view.

I wouldn't be worried about buying from my old OS suppliers and importing, I put time into my assessment of them and found a couple I was very comfortable with and trusting of... that same time spent on int'l DNM vendors has always left me feeling like I would rather pay double, or more as it usually is, to buy domestic where we can remain in escrow and have a very good idea of when the package will show.
