So are there chances of you being raided if your international package gets intercepted?
Or they simply just take the package and burn it? Or do they actually look into where these are headed to and stuff? I want to purchase something from the uk but I'm from usa but I'm afraid that if it gets intercepted, then I'm going to raided or something of the sorts.
Personal experiences would be appreciated. What happened when your packages got compromised?
-
It never getting there.

way back in the day, I used to order mj seeds from europe.
Every package got through, they sent them in a tee shirt ;D
did it for years, probally total of 30-40 over the years
no worries mate 8)

as someone who deals primarily overseas (europe and asia shipping to USA), I can say a few things:
UK is not anything to be worried about. the problem countries (from what ive seen) are the Netherlands and China.
specifically packages that are heavy. any package over 500g (half kilo) will be inspected much more closely. So if possible, stay away from those 2 countries (esp when dealing in larger weights, or high amounts of pills) and you should be fine. most packages when coming from some place that is not considered a "drug producing country" pass through in 2-3 days, with no problems whatsoever. the vendor should also realize the package is going through customs, and to take the proper precautions when creating it.

I respectfully disagree about your statement regarding China. I don't know of any other country in the world where I could have 9 pounds of schedule one crystals shipped into the United States from without any problems. I have done that from China. I have has 7 pounds shipped. I have had kilograms shipped more times than I can count. So much shit comes from China that it's too easy to get packages through. I've had kilograms sent to the UK with no problems too.
What other country could I have a 10lb box of narcotics shipped from and have it make it into the US or UK without even being looked at?

I would've thought the same about China being a little risky but thanks for the informative post Jack, quite interesting too.

I think it's because the US receives more packages from China than any country or close to it. They produce so much shit that we import. It's just so damn difficult to scrutinize it all. I've never lost a package or even had one opened yet. Just have it packaged correctly and make sure the declaration is up to snuff.

Worst case is a nice form letter.
Depending on the country/state/county it might even invite you to go down to your local federal office if you believe that the 'illegal contraband' was confiscated in error.

everyone successful posting to australia?
-
Aus has notoriously strict customs, solid vendors who care about their packaging make it through most of the time though.

Australia is trickier than anywhere else I know of. Their customs officers are pricks that love their job from what I can tell.
-
I wonder if australia started using some sort of electronic drug sniffer? it's crazzy how many packages I've read about being seized.

They do utilize particle sniffers.
-
Yup lots of countries are now using particle sniffers
-

-
So staying away from Netherlands a good idea.
