think US customs is getting tougher?

[Sir-Que]

No it would not, the guys on the street would charge you with distribution, not them. they have much bigger fish to fry right now, and because of what's going on, they also have more random checks to make. Getting more illegal substances is great to them in one way, but a pain in that it's more paperwork and processing while their primary objective still remains the same, so right now they view it as bitter sweet. As stated earlier if you were flagged due to prior ongoing investigation, THEN this would bite you, but it would still have to be delivered and accepted by you so look for large delays. When they do this, they get their warrants and red tape done prior to delivery, and it's not too quickly either, so a LARGE delay coming in from JFK should always be suspect.

I hear what you're saying they couldn't be flagging addresses they don't have enough time. I had 100 amps seized last year, and I don't think they flag addresses either. My pack was coming Express/Priority and it sat at customs for about 3 days, needless to say it was empty when I got it.

Well I just had my source send it regular mail and everything was fine, and it was to the same addy two weeks later.

this is speculation and fallacy, they dont "flag" you unless you really deserve to be flagged, and incoming gear does not constitute that. Not only have I got a package seized this year, but every other package after that was delivered successfully. With that said I know many of the ICE guys, which is the combined Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. I spoke to a supervisor there about this and he confirmed what I felt. He said it's complete Bullshit, they dont care, they are more worried about their radiation detectors going off. Now yes they are getting more packages, becuase they are simply yanking more packages for random inspection. But they are not creating an address book to flag all incoming parcels, unless you are already the subject of an investigation from their agency, or another requesting the assistance with proper cause and or warrant.

I believe you but at the same time I'm having a really hard time figuring out how customs could have 'found' the AAS in my package that was recently seized. They would have had to literally 'dismantle' what the source hides the AAS in to have found it...that leads me to believe that customs is more sophisticated than we give them credit for & they use such techniques as x-rays to find contraband as a 'random inspection wouldn't have found it. From this point, it's not hard to make the leap to 'flagged' addys. I really wish I could be convinced otherwise as my source would be glad to resend my lost shipment for just shipping costs.

Does domestic mail get xrayed too or no?

 

[wesley90]

Yes. I've heard from a reliable source & others on this board that they do, in fact, flag addys when they confiscate contraband.

I am talking about DOMESTIC USPS...for example, lets say you get something seized coming from China, does Customs contact USPS and tell them to watch for packages coming to the house even though they are domestic?

"That leads me to believe that customs is more sophisticated than we give them credit for & they use such techniques as x-rays to find contraband as a 'random inspection wouldn't have found it."

With all due respect. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDING ME? Of course parcels are x-rayed, hand inspected, random inspected, and batch , inspected. Certain ones that is that are picked out. Or an entire few days of for example one zip code. Additionally the same workers work there...and they will look for packages looking like yours( more of them) if they discover one. That is why you have seizures. For example your Zip and al lothers within the same last two ** or prefix are targeted to all b einspected for a period of lets say 15 days. Thus all your apckages are snaged. Simple. Thats it. Believe me i know.

I give US Customs respect. They are fairly good at what they do. WTF.....Xrays....Xrays have been used for over 100 yrs.....Sophisticated techniques like X-rays....makes me want to laugh......they have very spothisticated technology there that costs hundreds of milliions..llike Ionizers erc..Cat Scan type shit.........but its for more important things then juice... For radiation, explosives, or drugs, etc.

These guys are not brain dead......if you think Customs agents are dumb and a random inspection woudlnt of found it you are severely mistaken...
Have you ever goten your car unscrewed piece by piece at the border. ( I havent personally but i know it constantly happens to people)

There is a way around everything...one side gets stronger .....the other makes a inovation ...vice versa....

If addys were flaged in the method you mention....people would not be recieving packages without any problems a few months later.

It realy matters.....you can be under investigation.if you are importing juice without a perscription.....and it looks to them as if you are some smugler....if they want they can flag you if your about to be indited etc , and they have probable cause, warant etc. I know of situations that people when trying to cross the border..at us costoms have been shown their seizures in the CPU and asked questions......then given a nice thurough inspection.

As long as you have perscriptions and remain within the law everythign will be fine. You have to understadn these guys are also woried about more important things,like radioactive material and bacteria.

OK...thanks for setting me straight. My recent int'l seizure was really my only 'contact' with customs & I admit, it kind of shook me up. I can't really afford any legal problems (who can) from incidents like this. Most of the mis-information I got concerning 'flagged' addys came from a domestic source...I assumed he knew what he was talking about. I guess I was wrong...thanks for the information.

This means all you guys should be getting on HRT so you have legal scripts for AAS. It can only help.

Take Carth's lead and get on HRT!

That's the way it should be. If they are worried about a vial of smallpox, radiate every damn thing. If they are worried about 50 pound sacks of coke coming through, bring more dogs in. There's no excuse for spending the money to bust for personal use amounts of hormones.

OK...makes alot of sense. My limited understanding of HRT tells me that, in order to get a valid script I need to first get to a doc & get my test level checked. Is this the way to go about getting HRT?
btw: with my luck, I'd get a script for that topical test cream...is that even worth it? Also, is there a way to convince a doc to prescribe test injects instead of the cream?

thats not the point. the point is, you at least have a script to be taking something. would be helpful if you are ever busted.
