Have no idea, also, was posting it so others could be ware of the situation and location, they might be more cautious there in Lubbock, Texas, since this has happened with such a large quantity, and suspicious priors of using the mailing system.

Becareful guys/gals.

This happens a lot.  The feds don't take up the case unless it's a big enough deal for them to do it.  They often just notify local LEO and let them take it over. 

Someone local to me get busted getting 16 lbs (mexican brick shit) in the mail that wasn't even vacuum sealed.  The box obviously smelled, so the postal inspector just called the county sheriff to bring a dog to verify the smell, and then the sheriff took the case from there.  They had the postal inspector do a controlled delivery, and when the person signed for it the local police swooped in.  Needless to say, the guy beat all charges in court.

Lessons learned in this:

1) The post office gives more scrutiny to express and large priority packages, especially if you live in a smaller town.
2) They know that people mailing anything illegal prefer ship with just a DCN and not a signature confirmation.
3) If they suspect a package of something they do check the name it is being shipped to and make sure it is a real name that is linked to that address.
4) The return address was to legit apartment complex, but the apt number didn't exist, so fake return addresses are another huge indicator.
5) Just because the feds don't give a shit about a little bit of pot doesn't mean your local good ol' boy sheriff's posse won't come down on you.

I've seen MUCH more than that come through without a hitch, and it was all top shelf medical strains.

Back when I used to smoke cannabis and used this site my purchases were rarely < 1 lbs.

Just my 0.02 on this. I've received 2.5lbs at a time in the mail. NOT FROM THIS SITE <----Can't stress that enough.  Ill explain. It was a little sketchy but otherwise pleasant. It took awhile for it to arrive because the guy took his time or was just very lazy. It was shipped overnight, but required a signature. It came to a house that is known as a renters house so it was mailed to the last known renter. The mailman showed up and asked me if (lets call him x) X lives here. I said yes. (Side note, I don't liver here, but friends do) I signed for it and nothing happened. I know, cool story bro you're all thinking. Just letting you know, its not real bad to do a lb or more or at least I think so.
