The odd's are greatly in your favor. Only a small amount of pack's get seized. Especially if your not on the west coast you have better luck.

I've ordered from overseas and it came thru. It all depends on packaging, where its coming from, quanity, and as stated by buffalo only so many packages get checked. If you haven't had a seizure yet I would go ahead and order, but that is just me. I am not telling you to do it. If you do don't order alot.

I have had a couple of orders seized from overseas. They got snatched by Chicago customs. It's totally up to you but I would try to find a domestic source. (ships from inside the US) no CUSTOMS involved!

not only packing ,goods value .but also cetain goods name. different areas go different routine. only sources familar with this.and different customs has different inspection rate .how to avoid it. depends on sources' choice.

I had 200 tabs of winstrol seized. I got the standard form letter. I didn't respond to it and not a damned thing happened to me. If you're receiving small amounts, I think the worst thing that will happen is you lose your gear and your money.

I had 2 orders get seized from oversea's now I go domestic ONLY!!! Oh, nothing happened just got a US customs letter...

 

[satchboogie]

youll pay a bit more, but domestic goods are safer, faster shipped, and alltogether a more pleasant experience.

My friend ordered overseas twice and the second time they seized the package and raided his house. YES, raided his house and now he is in big trouble. The amount was large for one person to use but it wasn't a to sell, just personal use.

Domestic is the way to go. Finding a domestic source not impossible, keep your ear to the ground, you'll find one

I got a package of clomid by mail that was cut open and re-sealed with some kind of US customs tape. Inside the letter was an explaination for the "tampered with" package and since it wasn't a controlled substance I guess there was nothing illegal about ordering clomid. Also I lived in Ca. at the time (i hear west coast is worse).

About a year ago I had an order confiscated by US Customs in NY coming into this country. I got a letter saying I could contest the seizure, but of course I didn't & just threw the letter away...never heard another word about it. If you're going to deal with an overseas source, make sure you use one that guarantees delivery & will replace seized goods.

Why is he in trouble? They can't press charges for the illegal package if they can't prove he ordered it right?

What kind of payment do people usually send to get there order?

did they do a controlled delivery and make him sign? did he sign? big mistake if he did. just give them cause for reasonable doubt. don't sign. tell them people have things sent to random mailboxes and do drive-bys to check, and steal, the stuff out of the box. happens all the time. you had yer identity used illegally. shit like that.

I have had an order seized, been caught at the border, and after all of that have received 2 packages without problem. I have moved a lot though, college student, and I use different names.

With the seizure, I just received customs letter saying that the AAS were in Florida and would be destroyed within so many days if they weren't recovered. Of course, I just ignored it. The source actually resent the package, at some cost to me, and I received that without problem. That was actually at the same residence.

At the border, I had to pay a $500 fine, and lost the gear, but I was not arrested. It also didn't go on my record. That same night I got handcuffed and thrown in a cell, but not arrested, at the border patrol stop because the truck behind me said he was with me and he got caught with 600 pounds of marijuana. They let me go after searching my car, but saw the letter from border patrol and said I was lucky I didn't get through because they would have arrested me and I would have spent at least two nights in jail until the judge was back. I also would have lost my student aid money for school, FYI. But I have received another package since then so I guess I'm not on their watch list.
