Express or regular mail?!?

[Bulldog_10]

What do you guys think when ordering overseas?

I hear that express packages are scrutinized more by customs. But I have gotten my gear shipped both ways, and it seems like the packaging is MUCH better when you use express. It also goes through quicker, meaning less time between the origin and the destination, which is obviously an advantage.

So...What are your thoughts on this? Please everyone take a second to answer this, I want as many opinions as possible.

Thanks bros!

I'm not chancing the overseas thing right now. To much shit going on, and they are supposedly only going to get more strict on packages from overseas. I know it is more expensive, but I'm going to stay domestic. At least for now anyway. The last time I did order from overseas though I wean express. That was before Sept 11 and had no problems.

I got my shit from overseas... the question would be WHICH country it is coming from. I think Mexico and Greece are RED flags... where as, say a country like Finland or Japan might not be.

I had no problems, I got my stuff in about 2 weeks after it was mailed out, and 3 weeks after payment... if I could, I'd fly there and pat him on his back.

EXPRESS MAIL REQUIRES SIGNATURE SO STAY AWAY FROM THAT.

WTF?

Ive had 2 packages arrive within the last 2 weeks. Both made it through no problems.

If you have a good intl source, there will be NO problems. Jeez.
You guys are blowing this WAY outta proportion.

Bro...I ain't being paranoid. I'm just asking which method people prefer. I'm not saying that I'm not goin to order, it's just a matter of whether or not to spend the extra cash for quicker delivery. So calm down! If you do a search on my name, I always tell people that they are being paranoid and just to go ahead and order.

I guess you will never piss yourself laughing!

Its good to be safe, but there is no need to worry. Again, if you have a good source, NOTHING will happen. One of my intl sources has been in the business for years upon years without one seizure, and its going to stay that way.

Yes, you gotta be careful; you gotta find a good guy.

Go with regular mail. There is a ton of regular mail that must be delivered so your package is usually lost in the shuffle. Express mail is fewer and scrutinized a little more.
