Hello everyone,
Long time buyer (over 50 purchases and over 1600 spent) first time poster.
I must say that I did UTFSE and found a few threads about slightly similar situations but none for an item of very small quantity that was first class and did not require signature.
I recently purchased 0.25 grams of a chemical substance from a member with high feedback. Today when I go to check my mail, I see not my package, but a "sorry we have missed you" usps slip. I find this odd for many reasons:
First of all, the item should have been small enough to fit in my mailbox just like every single one of my other orders.
Second, I was downstairs the entire time watching tv and never heard the postman knock. I had checked the mail at approx 1:30 and it was empty then checked again at about 1:50 and it had this slip in it. I had been downstairs the whole time. Even though I was watching tv, my room is close to the front door so I should have heard a knock, right?
I believe I have covered everything. I did check the delivery confirmation number on the slip and it did reveal it was from the same state as the seller of the chemical, so I know it is for that item.
I tried contacting the seller to no avail. I really need some suggestions please. I went online to the usps.com/redelivery section and told them to redeliver today and leave on porch. I will not sign anything. If the postman knocks on my door and wants me to sign and/or the package is clearly small enough to fit in my mailbox, I will tell them to return it to sender.
I definitely would not walk into the post office to pick this up, although I am probably getting all worked up over nothing. For all I know the vendor shipped in a package too large to fit in my mailbox to make it superstealth. But why for such a small quantity?
Please let me know your thoughts. The item in question was for less than 50 bucks so it really isn't a loss. A question I have is would returning it to sender look suspicious? What about when it gets to the supposed sender which I assume is a fake return address and the post office then examines it to find the substance and sees my name written on the address label? I am an insanely paranoid person as it is so I could just be worrying over nothing. On many other threads they said that a controlled drop typically is done immediately and not for such a small amount of substance. Also they said that they typically don't leave a pink slip in the mailbox, that they would just come unexpectedly.
Well sorry for the longwinded message, but I just worry.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions on the matter.

Still, surely just because you pick up some post doesn't mean you know what's in it?
-
That is true. I mean we all know anyone can send anyone anything in the mail, but I read if it is a controlled delivery and I accept, they will search my place. I have gotten rid of as much paraphernalia is possible, but it is not possible for me to eliminate all traces of substances from years past. I don't have any drugs on the residence though, but if they swabbed down corners of the floor or backs of doors, they would find traces of numerous things. I also had some old straws and razorblades which I am not quite sure of how to dispose of other than just throwing in the trash. I had a scale, but I cleaned it thoroughly with rubbing alcohol.
Of course, would they really waste their time for a personal use quantity? Or so I hope. And chances are it's nothing. I mean when I would order research chemicals, kratom, poppy pods, and Ether, I would frequently get these peach slips in the mail, with which I would go to the PO and pick it up, no problems.

I had something similar just happen to me, and I posted about it. I read that you shouldnt be too concerned for having to sign as it can be an error from the vendor or even the post. specially if it goes a long way. I have the stuff here and im concerned i dont know where to put it tho.

Who is the vendor?
-
Is it kosher for me to name the vendor? I just don't want it to look like I am trying to badmouth him or her.
-
I think it's fine for you to mention them, I feel like that's the point of this forum. However I would wait a day to check if they have replied, I'm sure some vendors check once or a few times a day to collect orders and such. The delivery mishap might even be chalked up to postman laziness. It could also be that the package is a weird shape that wouldn't fit.
-
That could be it. I will say that on the vendor's feedback page people rave about his excellent stealth but also say that he never responds to messages. I hope his stealth is as excellent as they say.
-
I'm sure others agree he is stealthy that he wouldn't change from his normal packaging and slip up. It's possible that his awesome packaging involves a large box with a vacuum sealed pouch within. The best shipments from SR that I've received were package as such.
-
I feel like you are fine, with that small amount I dont know who the fuck would be wasting their time on tryina bust you. BUT being paranoid is a good thing as I usually am too. Also, I have only gotten the peach slips from international orders, once from the UK, and once from India. And the funny thing is I went in to the PO without thinking twice about it to grab my 2 ounces of mephedrone crystals =p Lol probably should have been a bit more paranoid that day, but hey Im here right ;) But I really think you oughtta be aight, I am sure a 50 dollar baggie wouldnt even get noticed by L.E. by a long shot. Especially if the vendor is know for his stealth,
-
What are the peach slips?
-
Thanks for the posts. Yeah I will try to stop worrying; he probably just used a larger box to make it more stealth. Also I may have forgotten to mention earlier but the order is domestic and first class. I appreciate everyone's replies :)
A 50 dollar bag is clearly for personal use so they shouldn't mess with it.
Oh the peach slips refer to the usps redelivery slips that say on top "sorry we missed you!"
-
Yeah I think you'll be fine to be honest. A redelivery notice isn't anything out of the ordinary, I'd be more suspicious if they said you had to come in to pick up the package in person, you should be fine.
-
Just wanted to update that I did get product delivered to my mailbox the next day after filling out online redelivery request without having to sign for it. Hopefully for anyone in a situation like mine, this will help to relieve your worrying.
