Title: Dilema
Post by: pterodactyl on December 30, 2011, 12:37 am
5Grams of bud were ordered and sent on the 6th of december from belgium to a friend's house and he got a letter today the 29th saying this:
"could you please go to your local post office and collect your delivery"
Any opinions as to it being an innocent letter for a delivery that may not have fit the door or something? Or something more serious?

The cops aren't going to be waiting there 24/7 for the random time your friend would choose to pick it up so it could be innocent.
 
Then again they could be using it to verify your identity and bust you soon after?? I dno, not entirely sure how these things work.

Was it one of those cards that they leave with check boxes, or was it a letter?

If it was a letter, I'd be a little concerned - but they're really not going to be calling swat over 5 grams of bud.
In my home state, they'd likely comment on the quality when you picked it up.

Have you had orders to thatvaddress before successfully? I'm curious if your answer is yes my guess would be they wanna talk to you about the nug :P

I forgot to mention I'm in the UK so it may be slightly different systems/protocols here.
He and I have both had a fair bit delivered to our adresses with no problems but all of those packages were from within the UK, this one isn't, I told him to just pick it up claiming to have not expected anything and not to open it untill he is home and once he is, to get rid of it asap. I don't know if it was a written/printed letter or one of those check box ones, he told me after the creation of this thread that it could be his sister's ipod that they ordered, I might go find out today if he can get to the post office in time and update this thread :)

Personally I wouldn't go to the post office to collect it. I don't know the value of 5 grams of weed. Like, $50? Definitely not worth the risk of incarceration.

Additionally I'd never step foot in that post office for the rest of my life, just to be on the safe side.

My personal rule is that if I have to sign or pickup I call it a loss and move on.

The only real way to be busted is to sign and accept a package. Otherwise the burden of proof is on the law to prove you requested that pack be sent to you, anyone  can just mail something to someone.

It's when you sign and accept delivery or p/u that you admit requesting said package.

At least in the US, for a controlled delivery they must have you sign, or accept and open it quickly, verifying contents and NOT discarding illegal wares.

False alarm, apparently it was his sister's phone, so this means its a waiting game still since the 6th of december to receive the bud. Taking it's time. Thanks for the replies though :)

I was getting worried reading this as I fit the same bill exactly!

Its weird that they made him pick up a phone at the post office. In general I would say if there is anything out of the ordinary about the delivery I wouldn't accept it. No matter if the order was large or small both types of orders have good reasons not to pick them up. A big order carries higher risks so its better to just lose the money than take the risk. As for a small order its just that, small, who cares I would rather take a small loss than risk getting charges for a petty amount.
