Controlled Delivery??? WTF?!?!

[[email protected]]

Shipment came to 2 addys. One came through and the other went to the local PO Box. I got stuck out of state all week so the wife goes to pick up. She is under instruction not to sign for anything and knows what a controlled delivery is.

She goes to our PO and sees the normal postal guy in the background. Some older guy is working the desk. He looked like he had a clue so she ruled out that he was new. She had never seen him before. She hands the yellow slip over to the guy b/c the box was too big for the PO slot.

He gets the box (it could have been other things too that she orders) then taps it on the desk and says, “So this must be the good stuff”. She looked at the return and then realized it was not her package, it was gear. He asked if there were cigarettes in the box. She told him that she has no idea because it is not addressed to her. Then he goes into how she can get ciggs for 17 a carton via mail. But seemed to insist that they were cigarettes. She just talked about nothing and got the package and left.

She cleaned house big time and got all gear out of the house.

Now my question. If this were a controlled delivery would she have been popped on site and then my house later that day? Am I just too damn paranoid? This happened about a day ago.

Sounds like a nosey postman thats all

I don't think you have a problem. He was probably just making stupid conversation.

Good idea to clean the house. If they come to your house it will have nothing in it. If they ask about or for the package she just picked up say you returned it to another post office because it was not yours.

yeh, i'd say don't worry, if they were gonna make an arrest, it would have already happened, but a clean house is always a good idea, especially when expecting!!!

Sounds like a nosey postman to me too.
They cant mind their own business.

could have been two different things:

1. the comment about cigs, depending on how big the box is could be that you were mailed some cigs from a promo of a cig company. (my brother always does that) or it if a truely huge box, some party stores buy cigs in state where the price is half of what they pay and then sell it in their state for a much larger profit. which is illeagal. yes they do the mail order thing too LOL! he could have been tring to figure something like that out. but i doubt it. he prbly gets some cigs in the mail from some promo and your package looks alike. thus the comment about the cigs.

2. if you are some HUGE dealer of gear in your area, they might follow you hoping you go straight to your stash and then call in for a search warrent. some law enforcment vehilces have fax machines in them and they can receive a hard copy of the warrent in a matter of minutes.

like they said, i'm sure you're okay!

Dealer? Not in the least. Just stocking up on gear since I finally found a source that doesn't sell cooking oil.

But a personal supply and the way the laws are written would make me "the evil dealer" anyway. Never sold and never will, not my thing.

She did the drive around in case she was followed and then broke open the box to see if they threw some electric tracker in it.

I think we're ok. Even though she is still bitching about me getting in trouble.

You got yourself a good woman there! Picking up packages, losing tails, cleaning house. I need a woman like that.....

Yea, she's cool about stuff and street smart. The only complaint I have is she spends too much damn cash!

 

[Frackal]

I might change boxes if I were you...imagine if they got a warrant to open the box upon suspicion of the cig thing and found gear...sucky deal

 

[cinnabar8521]

I think the post man was putting the moves on your woman, other than that everything sounds good.

You can never be careless when it comes to deliveries of any packages, if i was in your shoes i would clean the house. Controlled deliveries have been very common around my area (no clue why?). Seems USPS is not so safe anymore, just my personal opinion..

might have really thought it was cigs...

transporting cigs across state lines
without the right tax stamps is a crime
if i remember correctly...

could have been trying to get ya for cigs!!!

that's what i was saying. this is why every state has their own stamp on the packs. if you are ever in a store that sells you a pack that has a stamp that is not your states stamp, they are breaking the law. shame on them too! we should obay all laws. LOL!

you can even turn them in for a reward, however in my book that is like turning in a good source. i have no problems with ppl who cheat the system a bit.

The man can't afford the liabiltiy of letting the stuff walk so if they didn't hammer you right away then you probally don't have anything to woory about. Being paranoid is the worst side affect of the gear. Its all mental but keeps you on your toes.

 

[Ferrus]

you have a very cool wife, sounds like she's smart, too

 

[Frackal]
