This may seem like a retarded question but i don't know how customs work. Basically their job is to filter out any illegal susbtance/material.. but how do they do that without actually opening up your parcels and looking inside?. what would make them suspicious about a parcel in the first place..? . Also.. would my mail start being monitered cause i bought a bong for the first time last week?
i mean i regularly have stuff delivered but nothing ever illegal. i'm wondering at what point would they start to get suspicious and start opening up my mail.

They would probably use dogs and x-ray first if a package was flagged as suspicious, but yes, sometimes customs can open items if I am not mistaken. That is why ordering from your home country if possible is the safest option.

Customs definately open and inspect parcels if they think they are suspicious. I used to see parcels with "Opened & inspected by customs" stickers all the time where I used to work

Maybe

They've looked through at least one of my purchases eu2au, and not found what they were after
(Unless the vendor sent to me using a second-hand envelope, which I highly doubt!)
