:-\ Don't hide/disguise weed inside 'inconspicuous' items! :-\
Today I had to collect my 2 gram delivery from the depot because it wouldn't fit my letterbox - I've had 10 grams fit before! The reason was because the seller had hidden it inside a little plastic puzzle ball toy that was too big for the letterbox. I wouldn't mind but not only did this mean I had to collect in person, but the weed wasn't even vacuum sealed properly - the package stunk of weed before it was opened! Just to top it all off, this toy ball had popped open in transit anyway, revealing the contents.
If anybody else does this, I would recommend you spend your money on a decent vacuum sealer, triple seal and stop wasting money on 'decoy toys' because the aim is to: !! not have your package opened in the first place!!
Anybody with a brain would have found the weed within a second of opening this, regardless of the innocent looking toy - yet if it had been sealed properly, they never would have opened it in the first place!
I don't think this applies to powders and pills, where some form of concealment would be a good idea, but with weed, stick to vacuum seal and wrapping in paper (just incase the parcel is ripped, it cant be seen) - don't waste your time with hide and seek.

Holy shit thats sketchy!

Another thing to note would be the method of vacuum sealing - I've had brilliant vacuum sealed bags and shitty ones.
The best are the channeled/embossed bags like this: http://www.sealersunlimited.com/images/EmbossedSeal.jpg with a heat seal that is about 0.5-1cm thick, these fuckers are amazing and just one is usually enough.
Then there is the shitty vacuum sealed bags that are the same thickness as your standard ziplock baggie and a heat seal that is only a thin line which most often has holes melted into it (these are usually sealed with those cheap £15 vacuum heal sealers you can get anywhere).

How disconcerting. Could you PM me the vendor's name? I was going to buy weed soon and don't want to order from someone who packages like this.
-
I've seen the hiding weed in something done correctly though, and it's awesome.
Don't discourage people from putting their vacuum sealed orders in neat things to disguise the package.
Discourage them from putting them in things that are too big for the mailbox, and not vacuum sealing.

Yeah, like I said if the weed had been sealed properly and if it had fit my letterbox I wouldn't have minded in the slightest. I still think it only really makes sense for other types of drugs or large orders of weed because in reality, if a parcel is being opened for inspection then it most likely already has reason for suspicion which means it failed at concealing its contents anyway.

Doesn't this mean you had to sign? I ordered something too big for my PO Box and I had to sign in order to get it (they left a paper in my PO Box). It was something random from Amazon, but it would've been sketchy to sign something if I knew it was weed.
-
Nope, didn't have to sign. Not sure where you are from or how your package was posted, but in the UK with Royal Mail you don't have to sign anything to collect a parcel from your local post depot, unless the parcel was sent requiring a signature of course.

they didnt vacuum seal it?

They heat sealed it, but the seal was very thin and was slightly broken so it was essentially no more secure than a ziploc bag. I don't want to rat the seller out, I left suitable feedback and the seller is aware.
-
make sure to mention this to the seller, ive been receiving packages for 2 years or so and haven't had this issue yet thankfully but its concerning that this might happen
-
How is it even economical to send 2g of puff like that anyway. Makes no sense. Bizarre.
-
Wow Metro, I fell for you man. Thanks for bringing this up in the forums and letting people know about dumbasses before they get people in trouble. Hope this seller loses all his business. What a fucking moron he is to do that. Keep safe Metro!
PS - Love that game. Haven't read the novel though.

SR premium prices mean it is.
