domestic shipping

[_Yossarian_]

How safe is it to recieve gear in the mail from a domestic source? Ive yet to hear a horror story about a domestic seizure(where both parties involved were honorable people.) How well is mail checked for contraband via a domestic route?

Hardly ever. As long as he doesn't have amps sticking out of the box and wrap them so that they can't break then it won't cause for any alarm and you'll be fine.

I use to work for a PO and the things we were to look for was any oil type substance leaking from the box, wires, ticking sounds, etc. I never saw a package questioned.

Ordering domestic is the way to go as it doesn't go through any type of searches, such as customs.

I am learning that the hard way!

BTW, I forgot to mention, USPS First Class mail is protected by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
That means they need a search warrant to open it.

UPS and FedEx can open a package for any reason.

<Disclaimer: Although mvmaxx tries to provide reliable and solid advice it is quite possible that his explanations and recommendations will be overwhelmed by moronic type responses thus burying the single good advice in the thread>

What about Priority or Express mail? Does that classify in the First Class clause. Does a Federal Postal inspector need a search warrant?

And what about USPS Global Express Guaranteed where the package is turned over to DHL for International shipping?
