think US customs is getting tougher?

[maldorf]

I was able to use one address for over a year, but finally got a package seized back in January. That address was flagged and 2 other packages that were on their way also got snagged. I am using a new addy now. There is part of an order that I am waiting on now that is taking longer than it should to get here and I am afraid they have struck again. If I have to open up a new PO box, anyone have any ideas of how I might keep my box at the same store but just change the box number? What would I tell the clerk at the front desk. Guess I am not very creative. There are not alot of PO box businesses around here, and I do not want to use the local post office.
I suppose in the near future we might all have to start using domestic sources if things continue the way they are. this will surely drive up prices. thanks to the US gov!

I think if they flag your adress and you go get a Box wouldnt they flag the box too because they have your name flaged along with the adress?

That might be a possibility, but I do not think so. Anyhow, in my case I used a fictitious business name for my address. I just hope that customs isnt going to get so tight that hardly nothing gets through.

I have already received 4 packages to the box already, but these last ones are taking awhile. I just hope that customs isnt going to get so tight that hardly nothing gets through.

Yeah but dont they ask for an ID at the box when you sign up for it?At least in the U.S I thought you had to show proper ID to open up a box?

yeah, that is right, but the business does not turn in your information to US customs. Just imagine the mountain of paper work that would create for the government! Customs has no idea its me, unless they follow a paper trail to bust me with a controlled delivery. Hardly likely when its just personal use.

Only way the stuff wont get through is if you get unlucky enough to have the package detected at customs and searched. If they search it and find the stuff, chances are all they will do is send you a letter. I have 4 letters now,lol

LoL but if the package is big they will probably come to my house?

 

[anabolicrombie]

how do u pay for the box? Do they bill your house, or can u pay cash upfront?

well, if the sender has any intelligence they will send it in several small packages. This way, hopefully if they catch a shipment it will only be part of it they catch. Also, small packages draw much less attention and are less likely to be caught. as far as what is considered small enough not to pursue for a "bust", who knows. Some people claim busts have been set up over small orders, but I find that hard to believe. Its just a risk you have to take if you want to play the game.
