Title: shipping into australia
Post by: brockeh on July 02, 2011, 12:31 am
sorry if this has been covered, i tried to search

just signed up, haven't bought anything yet, fairly paranoid about customs

does anyone have experience as a buyer in australia? did it all go sweet?

im mainly worried about the fact that i cant figure out how to use a fake name, i work full time so i always get one of those pick up your package at the post office cards in my letterbox, which requires a drivers license, 99% sure taking out a PO box needs ID too.

while a fake id is a small possibility the only type id be able to get my hands on would be a really shitty one for underage drinking, i wouldn't wanna try and give them that at the post office

I'm feeling your pain brockeh. I need a delivery address too and have spent the best part of this morning looking at how to set up a PO box anonymously. Keep us updated if you are successful.

I have read on here that it has been done successfully but have no personal experience.

If you do it just be aware of the risks both legally and financially. It may get through or it may not.

As was mentioned on here somewhere that if you do use fake ID and get a PO Box and get caught, its a pretty serious charge on top of drug charges.
Its not necessary to have photo ID to open a PO Box. Using a fake ID with your photo could come back to bite you in the ass!!!

I'll cross my fingers for you.

If you work out how to get an anonymous PO Box/Drop Box I would be very interested to hear about it!! ;)

Yeah it has been done successfully, however try and order very small amounts at a time. I know how hard it is when things overseas are so cheap!

if you are interested in where you stand as far as the law goes with how much you can possess etc these following links may help..

Hello to all,
Although I have not purchased anything through Silk RD YET !!!

I have purchased many things like Stun Guns- Tasers- Pepper Spray- Battons - Jammers  the list goes on a bit ... And I bought in quantity . Everything was through the post and came through companies like  UPS - DHL - EMS -  TNT ,  I even had to go down to Australia Post and pick up about 10 boxes all full of contraband which after I handed over my ID was given to me with a smile.
Everything EXCEPT (Australia Post when I was not home ) came to my door and I did not have to show ID and nearly EVERYTHING was in my right name.
I purchased from China -Taiwan- India -America - Korea.

I have also sent MANY things through the mail to friends in N.S.W. & Qld  ( Powdery things & Green things )  I usually disguised it by buying a USB cup warmer ( Coles for $10 ) opening it up PROPERLY placing said item VACUM SEALED OR MULTI packaging careful not to leave a sent on the OUTSIDE and carefully placed it inside cup warmer and screwed everything back like it was.
For larger items I would send it inside a package of clothes and would try and through in a few CHEAP toys just in case of X-RAY.
I am NO EXPERT on the POSTAL SYSTEM in Australia I am only Talking about WHAT I HAVE DONE PERSONALLY !!
BUT ..-  EVERYTHING ALWAYS GOT THROUGH !!
I am in the process of trying to purchase a  new seller account and then HOPE to help my fellow Aussies out  With the above products and MORE !!
Any questions PLEASE just ask !! I still have MANY GREAT toys and products to sell !!
   NEPOZNAN  keep a eye for me !! Hopefully wont be long.

Cheers - Nepoznan

the more reading i do the more a fake name seems like it could be a bad idea.

seems like its almost 100% dependent on the quality of the packaging, i.e the sender

and nepoznan, ive had a bb gun taken by customs, its the only package ive ever got that had been obviously opened (sticker with opened by customer on it), i guess it would have a fairly clear
profile and spring etc but still, makes you worry ey

anyway ive made a small order from a seller with a good rep, ill post back

EDIT: had it pointed out by someone who found this thread thru search that i never posted back, my bad.
i now have a good bit of experience with buying. its all good. make an order, stuff shows up, its awesome :D keep the amount small just incase
