Title: UK Postal methods?
Post by: Kyze on January 16, 2012, 06:10 pm
So basically I'm new here, signed up today and never done anything like this online.

I live in the UK and certainly don't fancy my chances ordering from abroad and have found some UK suppliers with seemingly good feedback, however i still have a question, if i was to have an order exposed, of let's say less than 10 grams of weed what would happen, is there likely to be a case and potential jail time, or is it more of a slap on the wrist and don't do it again? Of course i would deny all knowledge of why it arrived at my house however i guess they wouldn't let it drop if they wanted, like checking computer history etc..

In general I'm just curious as to my chances of receiving my item via the post without being noticed, so if anyone has any first hand experience :-\ or even knowledge I'd be grateful for your input, thanks!

Alright mate,

UK to UK customs is extremely lax, you don't have to worry AT ALL, i've shipped weed and hash to friends and dealers in scotland/wales + birmingham and never got packaged seized, I don't even think they are checked for drugs.

Sellers here package very safely the chance of your package getting found is very low if you order from the same country. If the worst was too happen your looking at caution (slap on the wrist). Under 1oz is easy too say its for personal use only. For instance out of 5000 people caught with cocaine in the uk last year only 254 went too prison and that's Class A drug. Cannabis is class B, Ive seen lots of news story's also where people have been given caution for growing few cannabis plants and that's much worse offense in the laws eyes. Ive also personally been cautioned for possession of cannabis.

Thanks you two, that's a huge relief to know that it's not as dangerous as i thought. I thought they somehow screened the letters with machines and sniffer dogs, oh my!

You won't get caught ordering domestically (UK to UK). Good vendors here will vac-seal, and possibly in the case of cannabis vendors, double vac-seal.

Two UK sellers I can personally recommend for excellent products, secure packaging and quick service are Ivory and HashUK.

Good luck!

Ivory doesn't do cannabis I don't think. You'll find him in the ecstasy section... with occasional LSD, valium and some other bits and pieces too from time to time.

No worries , years and years ago I thought the same thing, I did a series of experiments to a disposable (few mail drops) safehouse location where I put less and less effort into the security of the package to see if it would be delivered successfully.

in the end, I wrapped up a half ounce in newspaper with sellotape, whacked it in a jiffy bag and it STILL got through with no evidence of any tampering  :o

I've been using the UK postal service for weed, hash and odd g of powder for years now, just sending small amounts to and from friends and never had any problems. The vendors here on SR are a lot more professional about their packaging too so I suspect your biggest risk is the postman stealing it. I worked at Parcelforce for a few weeks a while back and certainly they didn't do any active inspection of domestic packages, again if one smelt of weed it was far more likely to be nicked than reported, I doubt the Royal Mail are any different.

Also you cant be held responsible legally in the UK for being sent an illegal package in the post, they have to prove you solicited the contents. I know someone who got off after being sent a big package of weed from abroad that was intercepted, although he still insists that he never asked anyone to send it to him.

I think its best to use a legitimate name that the postman will recognise, you don't want anything that makes the delivery look odd.
