It's a real sunny day today and I took delivery of some weed and noticed if you held the jiffy bag up to the sunlight you can see clearly the shape of the weed... :o Even though the weed was double vac packed using transparent plastic with a criss-cross effect inside... the first bag inside was even folded over and still you could see the shape of the weed!
So this is a heads up for vendors shipping weed... ok so its unlikely the post office is going to hold up packages to a bright lamp...nevertheless its an additional risk which could easily be prevented by using opaque packaging.
I think it would be wise if you're using transparent vac packs to use an additional opaque plastic covering. You can get those self-sealing plastic mailer bags quite cheap for a few pennies each which also provides an additional layer of sealing.

Yea, opaque coverings are quite appreciated. Most of my packages have been covered opaquely, but I wish it was more of a standard around here.
