is there evan one ohnest vendor that ships too australia or are they all dishonest!!!! this is becomin a joke.........you hvae more chance of being scammed these days
-
try buying only domestic and make sure to check the rumor mill (you can always check it just cant post in it) do research before ever buying! dont ever FE and just keep searching
-
Try looking at suppliers in Australia as you country's customs are very good at their job.
-
Funny isn't it - how the country most well-known for being populated with criminals, has one of the best border-control procedures for criminal activities ;-)
-
Nowadays having a criminal record keeps you out!! :-)
But yeah, Aussie customs are good at their job so OP - go domestic.
-
the only reason australia security is good because they have no where near the volume of packages coming into the country as lets say the united states. because if they did there would be no way to continue there level of security of packages coming into the country because of the INCREDIBLE VOLUME.
-
Customs is just an excuse.. It's either scamming or bad stealth that results in your package not arriving.
If the stealth is good, it get's through, simple plain fact. Most OS vendor's scam Australian's or just don't put enough effort into stealth which is just as bad as scamming.
-
It never ceases to amaze me how so many Australians assume every vendor is dishonest instead of just accepting that their customs are damn tough. What is more realistic, all vendors are ripping you off or your government searches your mail?
...If the stealth is good, it get's through, simple plain fact...
No not a simple fact, a simple myth. The fact is that if the address you are sending to has had drugs seized in the past then even the best stealth will not stop them from finding it. They flag addresses for extra scrutiny.
Only by using non-burned addresses and good stealth will you get through reliably. The original poster probably has his address watched.
-
I always wondered why is Australia of all countries the most difficult to get things past customs? Anyone know why they're so uptight on security?
-
Still trying to shake off that stereotype of 'The Criminal Population' I guess?
Just like the English wearing dental braces to make a firm statement of 'Our teeth aren't all that bad!'
Or like Muslims traveling naked in an attempt to shout 'I'm not wearing a bomb!'
Or like the Irish doing an IQ test to say 'I'm not stupid!'
Or like German citizens going out of their ways to be nice to Jews, so that everybody knows 'We don't hate Jews'!
The list could go on. But in Australia? It's a really tight customs process, that makes the stand of 'We aren't a country that tolerates crime'.
-
All my orders sent arrived to Australia no problems so far, have had around 15-20 orders sent there since i joined,
"Or like the Irish doing an IQ test to say 'I'm not stupid!'" We're far from stupid 8)

If the stealth is done well, it will get through. I've had packages opened and inspected and they still arrived (they leave a pamphlet in your package to advise you of this). I've also had orders arrive at an address after one didn't. How many "burned" addresses do you think are in Oz? In the overall scheme of things, fuck all. For an address to be watched here in Aust., multiple orders would need to be intercepted of a decent quantity. ???
Australian Customs is no tougher than other countries such as the US or the UK! The US may have more mail passing through it facilities but it also has more resources (employees/machinery/sniffer dogs) to cope with the demand. It's all relative. Any vendor telling others that Australian Customs is too tough hasn't got the skills to stealthily package their goods properly. Times have changed and vendors need to forget old methods and develop new ideas. One vendor I use in the US is superb at packaging. Everyone of my orders has arrived, including the few opened for a random inspection. It can be done successfully but obviously some are better than others at it.

They're worried about introduing animals and plants that will (even further) ruin the land, so their mail/customs is very well funded.

Here are some guidelines to ordering if you are in AUS & do not want to be scammed.
1. Stay in escrow, <---Most important one.
2. Record the unboxing just in case some vendors send rocks.
3. Make sure vendors who aren't located in AUS to have good refund policies. (I offer reship or 50% btc refund if lost in transit, this excludes if the DCN shows "delivered") Some pesky vendors purposely take advantage of international customers and scent their packages so it gets seized on purpose, thus leading to 20-80% refund of the original price.
4. Ask for the tracking if you can get it.
Thats about it, but remember to always stay in escrow. Most scams happen when vendors require FE or try to bypass the escrow system.

A country that makes a killing in tourism due to it's unique ecosystem is going to want to protect it.
Australia already has major issues with alien species destroying the habitats of native species.
Just look at what happened to the native Australian homo-sapiens...

Definitely agree with you on that one! Customs is customs regardless of country if you are dealing with a Legit Vendor that knows how to correctly package and ship his package with a decoy and multilayer protection as to where if the package was opened it would show nothing but the decoy and be wrapped back up and sent to recipient. I have had about 10-15 consistent packages sent into AUS and no small orders the smallest was two ounces of medicinal grade bud and the most recent of packages is 2oz of High Quality Crystal Meth which we took extreme measures to provide multi-layer protection as well as decoy when shipping a high value product like this we make sure our sender information is very accurate as well as professional business letter packaging with printed labels always! If anyone is needing any of my product delivered to AUS with a 100% guarantee delivery from us as if seized we take the loss and reship free of charge. We would not offer that type of guarantee if we didnt know what we were doing! We are about QUALITY & SERVICE and once you deal with us we know our product will surpass your expectations! Feel free to check out page and listings as well as discussion feedback on profile page and listings! Nothing but QUALITY and GREAT SERVICE when dealing with true professionals! ;D

Unlimited, do you offer full escrow?

Move to uk?

"Or like the Irish doing an IQ test to say 'I'm not stupid!'" We're far from stupid 8)
Ha, I know only too well that the Irish aint stupid, don't worry. You know though, I was in 2 minds as to whether to post that comment or not (as in the whole thing), but then I thought 'naaa nobody will take me seriously'. Turns out somebody got offended though and dinked me with my first negative karma. o_0 Humbug!

It all depends on buyer stats and to be completely honest if it is a new buyer and wanting to buy an ounce of ice off us and fairly new then we would ask them to FE to ensure good faith in us as we are in fact providing a 100% guarantee delivery! If you check my feedback as well as my discussion link on my profile I have highly reputable buyers that have spent well over $50,000-$100,000 on SR and ordered from over 50-100 different vendors and you can read there feedback about our QUALITY SERVICE. We have a consistent client buying 2oz of our quality ice every 3-5 days in AUS and he FE's without even asking as we would allow him to remain in escrow for he is a trusted and loyal customer with us! Most of our customers FE on there own choice as we always provide a very nice bonus/gift for the users who ensure good faith within us in our ability to provide a quality service typically say a user buys 1g of ice and FE's to show good faith. We not only process, package, and ship same day but we typically give 1.5-1.7 when they were only purchasing a gram. When ordering an ounce or two of ice we typically put it over 3-4 grams on each ounce to show good faith and for them putting there trust in us to do our job! Our feedback and discussion from reputable buyers is more than enough to ensure a loyal customer that we are capable of getting them there package at a reasonable time as well as a satisfactory rate! We are here to provide our service to the SR community we have never wronged anyone and we always fix any mistakes whether it be the customers fault, postal carrier, or our own fault we always resolve the issue and make sure the customer is happy! Hope to hear from some of you LOYAL customers in the future as our listings provide a variety of QUALITY to the SR community at very affordable rates! We are not here to rip anyone off, we are here to build a business and provide QUALITY that will surpass anyone's expectations when dealing with us! Try us out and you will see how business is suppose to be done friends! Wish you all well! ;)

Move to uk?
If it's drugs you're after.... move to the Netherlands!!

Bullshit is everywhere, best thing you can do is to get used to this and improve your bullshit detection skills.

UnlimitedLife..I would say your going to get a few more Aussie customers,our money is as good as any. When you look at best selling items, we have quite a few near the top, and that's paying outrageous prices. A vendor doing it right could sell solely to Australia and make as much if not more than selling domestic. I agree on peroper stealth req, my overseas vendors get my parcels here every time.

Listen you faggott, your customs are pricks, just like all the people in your fucking country. Have you seen border patrol muppert?these dickheads have 12 fucking clowns all inspecting one parcel, no wonder fuck all gets through. you have some bellend stopping a 90 year old chink, and telling her " you can't have this food and that food it's bad for our economy, yeah right, you have fucking Aborigines walking round with fucking spoons in their ears, and these jobsworths are worried about a fucking apple that's contaminated.. I say don't deal with no aussies they're all grasses and scammers. save SSBD. they moan no parcel comes after 4 fucking weeks, it's not our fault you choose to live half the fucking world away is it? We expelled you robbing barstards from the Great British Isles, and what happens, you multiply like cockaroaches.
