how risky to order powder from china?

[easton104]

would i be a retard to order 5g of ox powder from china? they say that standard airmail is not able to be tracked...how risky would this be as far as legality? are there very many domestic sources for powders available?

someone posted up last week (DAW????) that his powder was sitting in customs forver now. probably won't see it. so i'd say by the talk on here lately, powder is not a good thing to be importing. they probably think all powder is anthrax at this point over at customs.

at the price id risk not getting it, thats noy my concern...i just dont wanna have my door kicked in a week later

Quite risky right now in my estimation. Because of SARS customs is really scrutinizing packages that come from China now. Also, with the terrorist alert we have anything that is a powder is going to attract a lot of attention.

k well what about domestics? any luck finding any powders within the states or does it generally come from overseas?

that is true.....i did the same thing, the price to benefit ratio was so great that i ordered some "stuff" anyway. now its sitting in cutoms for a fucking week. but oh well if i don't get it. at least i want a letter so i can get a resend. but that is all you will get if its your first offense, is a letter. unless they really want to make an example of you for some unknown reason.....then they could bust your ass if they have it tested for an illegal substance. but doubtful you'll get anything more than a letter that its seized.

What was the last stat posted? I think is was that customs siezures are up 1100%.

They are screening overseasa packages much more carefully.

shit yeah its up. i ordered one thing that usually gets here in a week and it got here today one week later than usual registered mail. and the other thing i ordered (three days previous to this pack)......is STILL not here. sitting in customs for a week. motherfuckers. need to be watching the border for terrorists, and large shipments from overseas, not watching the fucking small parcel mail for the love of christ.

You can say that...but big things can come in little packages. Just because something is small, doesn't mean it can't be a threat to our security. We might not like customs when they take our shit, but I for one am glad they're there.
