Finally got letter from customs!

[cuts82]

So i got a letter from customs yesterday and I am freaking out!

The general theme of the letter was that they have my gear and if i want it contact them (haha yeah right), anyway my main concern is that there will be heat on that address now. so im guessing its pointless having anything mailed to that address? the catch 22 is that the supplier will resend because i have the letter but im not game to try again at this point.
Am i being to cautious? Do they flag a address??
Any input or experiances much appriciated.

Get rid of your shit at the house. You can never be too cautious. It would be a good idea not to have anything mailed to your house from that source at the very least. I recommend using an alternative all together.

sometimes it seems that they do but i have had thousands of pills confiscated and a week later a few thousand made it through to the same address and shipped from the same country. It's kinda a 50/50 chance that it's flagged.

 

[needtogetaas]

this is what you should do..you should clean house and get rid of your hard drive as well.
you need a new addy to ship to this one is most likely hot now.

 

[muffinmaker]

Def use a new addy, I wouldnt worry too much about getting rid of ur hard drive.

I have had the same thing occur, but you need to be careful, it is not like it sue to be with these fed fuckers

I know somebody that has ordered testosterone creams for the last few years and he's had several packages confiscated and when he gets the letter he gives it to his source and has it re-shipped... sometimes they get nabbed sometimes they go through.... which makes me believe it takes a little more than a little test to get your addy flagged OR they don't do a good job flagging!!

 

[eddymerckx]

yea, good chance nothing will happen, but what if???? I agree w/needtogetaas...a hard drive is maybe $100....a felony retainer for a mediocre lawyer is $5000--

 

[BIGBUCK$]

another reason y i pay a few extra bucks instead of going mail order

 

[sincere81oo0]

just find a domestic source bro its not that hard.... there plenty of good bros out there......

I ordered a box of cuban cigars from a web-site and they never came. I contacted the web-site and they sent me abother box, which I did get. Eight months later, I got a seizure letter from customs. Now, a lot of you are like me and see Cuban cigars as being no big deal. But upon further research, according to The Office of Foreign Assest Control (A branch of the Treasurery Dept.), it is against the law for an American citizen from buying any Cuban product ANYWHERE in the world. Penelties for violating this law include up to 10 years in prison, $1 million in corporate fines or $250,000 in individual fines. Civil penelties of $65,000 PER VIOLATION can be imposed (June 2007 edition Cigar Aficionado).

Some heavy duty shit. I called customs and told them I had no idea who sent me a box of cigars and if they were illegal, I didn't want them. Why did it take eight months for me to get a letter? Why did the first box get stopped, but the second one got through? They were both shipped from the same address and going to the same address. The best advice is to get rid of the letter and clean house. I would probably get a new hard drive as well, since I am paranoid. If you have any further contact with Law Enforcement, deny everything. You have no idea what was sent to you in the mail, obviously it was a mistake, because you NEVER ordered anything from anywhere outside the country. You can't deny getting the letter because it was sent certified and you signed for it. Just say you thought it was a mistake since you NEVER ordered anything from outside the country. Deny, Deny, Deny. Like someone else told me on this web-site, have your gear sent to your grandma's house (You get the point. Find a different address to have your gear sent to).

Thanks everyone,
I did some spring cleaning earlier and took care of the letter properally so i got nothing lying around even if they do come knocking.
What i couldnt figure was that i got the other half of my order about a month ago then nothing until this letter yesterday but apparently both packs were sent out on the same day?? and of course the one i got was the one with nolva in it just to make up the minimum order hahaha oh well domestic from now on boys!

Do Not Just Toss It In Trash!!!

Leave Your House And Throw It Away At A Car Wash Or Gas Station

fuck the car wash.. i scanned my letter at the library, sent it to my source, saved a copy of the scan in a new account at yahoo, got home ripped it up and flushed it. the toilet is the best garbage disposal ever. by the way.. this is the second letter i've received. if you want to be completly 150% safe, listen to needto and by another harddrive. 100.00 is a small price to pay for your freedom. Law enforcement is now fully aware of the internetsteroid sales. if your house were to be raided, they will clone your computer. needto was right, i don't know know why anyone disagreed with him on that one

 

[gslben]

^^Agreed

thats so funny I thought I was the only one that dose that shit...I trow every thing away at the car wash..

 

[perryscoon]

Even if they scan your hard drive and find orders you supposedly placed for gear, if they never find any gear, then they have no case, correct? I mean, what would the charge be? Possession of emails claiming to buy gear? lol

I mean, anyone could write that they did anything. Doesn't mean it happened.

Btw, I stole 4 pink elephants from a circus in India over the weekend.

 

[st8grad]

Not too sure about that. You're probably right.

I haven't read that much of this thread but I thought I would give a little insight on what I know as a employee at a major shipping company (our favorite color is brown, figure it out). The only time the feds EVER come to the hub is during Christmas season because our volume increases tremendously, which means that more people will think it's not as noticeable to ship illegal goods. Throughout the rest of the year, however, it is incredibly easy to ship drugs and alcohol throughout the US because nobody will ever look inside the box. Find a domestic source that ships brown.

 

[jeb0177]

nothing will happen, don't worry.

 

[eddymerckx]

Warning in advance: dont read this unless you are really bored or semi-paronoid

the theory that w/o the gear there is no crime is not quite correct; I do not diagree the main felony we worry about is possesion, but there are a number of federal statutes that the info on the hard drive would support.

lets see, email about $$ exchange for illegal substances + bank trace shows that exact amount withdrawn on that date + a video at apoo's kwiki-mart of you using a different name to send a WU + that is traced to an identifed bad guy (or bad name). Sorry, but that is enough to get an indictment for a violation of at leaast four federal statutes that i can think of w/o even trying.

I am not saying this would happen to the average indiv, but what if you get a bored assitant us atty in Tulsa tired of prosecuting meth cases and federal land cases and an FBI agent who just likes playing dick tracy.

Moreover, each state has different laws and even "attempted possession" may be a problem (although i don't know).

Thus, that is why I agree that if one would spend a few grand on gear and not switch a cheap hard drive --- because the HD is the glue that holds all the other events together is is penny wise and pound idiotic.

Granted this sceniario may never happen, but it could depending on the individual circumstances....but that's just my 2 cents--

 

[access]

The reality is that this whole event is now probably finished. You dispose of the letter and nothing will be ever heard from again. That said the advice of Needto is accurate for your own sanity. Why have that worry when for a small amount of time, money and effort you can be completely clean if the unfortunate circumstance alluded to be eddy ever where to happen, as unlikely as it may seem.

 

[Selfcentor]

How did they know what was in the "packets" ?? I mean what evidence do they have to hold it if they are not sure. Im sure they dont have a steroid tester right there with them.
