hi fellow silk roaders,
I reside in Australia and have purchased from silk road about 10 times. all my domestic orders have come through, i am not really worried about them. my problem is with international orders. most of my orders have been international, because of how cheap everything is and some things just are not offered domestic. my international strike rate is about 50/50 right now, which isnt that great. i have only ordered from sellers who have great reputations and whose packaging is stealthy (i am told).
my question is: what are the consequences if your package were to fall into the hands of customs? my first thought was: 'if illegal substances were found in a package and there was a name and an address, surely they wouldn't just let it slide and chuck the stuff away'. i would assume law enforcement would be notified and you would get cops knocking on your door but i haven't really heard of that happening. i myself have not received a couple of packages and i haven't got into any trouble. once a package is found with an illicit substance wouldn't that address be flagged so that they could check all packages going to that address in the future?
does anyone know anything more about this? has anyone actually been approached by LE regarding SR orders that were caught? has anyone been in trouble with the law with anything to do with SR?
yours stories and experiences would be greatly appreciated

my advise would be to change tactics and not have anything delivered to that address again for a very long if not for ever.
any intelligent customs office is going to feed this info into their database.
you've not got away from anything you've most likely got yourself an entry in the database !
the entry is most likely to describe :-
time & date of arrival, country of origin (postage stamps on the front.), exact addressee name, drug contents, quantity, further fields for a lab report / analysis, possibly forensics fingerprint field entries....
many LE orgs share / contribute to "federal" / centrally funded / sponsored databases.
{million / billion $$ / ££ intelligence Companies whose core purpose is to develop this software often used in government, to combat insurance fraud etc etc}
these db's that are accessed make up the numerous sources of information from day to day.
highly specialist data analysis systems build maps laying out intelligence from data from different sources, they can do this based on your info and personal details
in any form you've ever filled out or how you pay your electricity bill. the more specific the info like identification the more concrete the "intelligence" is.
do you see the implication of the above data being recorded ?!

these things can be analyzed to no end but unfortunately very few have actual knowledge of how the customs operate. also countries are obviously very different from one another in this case. and things change over time also.
i'm just going to say my anecdotal experience goes against the previous posters analysis - i have heard people having packages seized and then succesfully receiving packages to the same address within a small time frame. so this would suggest a "black list" doesn't exist or only exists for extreme, rare cases.

Is it really worth LE or Aussie cops to spend time and resources on trying to ping say someone who has bought 6 pills or 20 Vals from OS?
It just seems resource heavy to go after people with orders under 10 pills or valiums?
Any case i am not using my real name..i don't care. I do have some of the old packets that i made sure i didn't wreck, put some random pills in there and put it amongst all the mail from previous tennants. So if the cops do come over i just say i put it amongst the return to sender pile which we don't bother about.

I tend to agree with this, I'm not sure how they scan the mail prior to getting to the local PO but once there it is all sorted by hand. I wonder what percentage is actually x-rayed. I too have received certain packages at the same address some have not appeared? I believe there is a certain quanity required before the Feds get interested and any notice is given to a particular address.
