Order overseas - safe?

[Singleton]

Is it safe to order from non-domestic sources?

 

[muscleup]

anytime you order your taking a risk....International orders even more risky IMO.

nothing is certain. i have ordered quite a few times from inter'l sources. mostly overseas yes. i've gotten all my packages, but i know some people havent.

I have gone overseas, and depending on the source it can be fine. I have lost a pack or two in my day though!

 

[Stainless_Steel]

Yeah like everyone else said it depends on source,way its packaged,where its coming from, etc...

So far so good for everyone I know.

Just deal with the right peeps and your risk go way down. If you are in this game long enough you will eventually get an int package taken or lose some money from a domestic bust. Either way International or domestic both have risk.

All depends on your source. You are taking a risk when ever you order anything illegal but if your source is good, the risk is lowered dramatically

i just ordered international again for the 3rd time and its been 5 weeks and i havnt gotten my package so im assuming it got seized. I also didnt get a letter from the government indicating the seizure.....the source is very well known and trusted so i know he sent the order, but from what i hear customs doesnt send letters out on every seizure anymore..........moral of the story......international is stupid and a waste of time unless your source has a remailer in the states and his siezure policy is 100% resend

you always take a risk, I've had pretty good luck, after I got burned a couple times. My friend ordered for the same source and got caught, (( you never know!))

remember that international orders can be subject to warrantless searches by customs- while several domestic packing methods incl. priority cannot be subject to a warrantless search- right here, i think, is what makes intl orders more risky for you to lose your money. if they ever do a controlled delivery, remember what collins has stated.......Don't accept the package

So far I am 2 for 2 on international orders, but I really do not want to make a habit of ordering this way. It's too stressful for me.

Don't you have a tracking # so you can see where it is and you don't have to assume?

 

[ryan04]

Mine have taken up to 6 wks. If it got seized you'll get a letter.

I'll never go overseas again if it isn't domestic I'm not interested just had too many bad experiences of getting half orders and with domestic I've never had a problem. I know there's legit overseas sources that I'm sure some guys will swear by but I'd rather pay a little extra and with some of the domestic guys now getting their prices down its worth a couple of extra bucks to get your shit in one week instead of two to three if at all.

I am 3 for 3 - It all depends on the source, where he is and his packaging methods...They certainly are cheaper, but factor in about a month from ordering to get the gear.
