I definitely believe that it's getting harder to get AAS thru customs. I recently had a package seized after getting a couple thru previously. Based on my experience & what a domestic source has told me, I believe that customs now x-rays packages coming into JFK. Not sure what criteria they use to perform this, but based on what I've heard & how I know that my int'l source had previously packaged my orders, I am convinced that x-ray is the only way they would have intercepted my order.
Hopefully, I'm just being paranoid but I don't think so
btw: it's my understanding that they flag addys not names because names can be the same; also, an international order that was seized & results in a flagged addy can also be a problem for domestic shipment as the USPS may also have the flagged addy

How do you know if they flag addresses in the first place? Let alone flag them from customs to USPS?

IMO customs isn't tougher solely b/c of the whole MLB steroids scandal etc. I deal directly with legit int'l packages on a daily basis..mainly jewelry distributors in Asia. And from experience I noticed after the 90's and more so after 911 packages have just been progressivly more scrutinized at the ports year after year. I've had legit packages opened, held up, etc. I've seen friend's Persian rugs siezed b/c of proper taxes werent declared.

Surely, steroids is on their watch list and always has, but there are definitely bigger fish to fry then a few vials. Don't get me wrong they'll still bust your ass b/c it is an illegal substance but it just so happens we're made more aware of this case b/c only gear over the border is what we're interested in here.

I have friends that get shipments of fake LV, Gucci, Prada, Rolex, etc and all that knock off stuff every day and those are getting snagged too. They say the same exact thing.."the gov't is out to get us." It's just the grand scheme of things since technology is getting better and more $$ and manpower is put towards something any crime in general is harder to commit as time passes.

Well, I received packages at an address no problem for almost 2 years then I had my first package seized. During the next month 3 more packages were sezied, that was every single one I had on the way. There is noway that I just got that unlucky to have every package seized, they had flagged the address.

I was told this by a domestic source...I only have his word for it; but he said that the only delivery problems he's had are by customers who had previous int'l seizures.

I lost a motherload of a domestic pack but then again learned from that mistake and was lucky all that was taken was the loss.Reason for losing it was the damn pack was too heavy and was my fault for insisting on it being that big.What a dumbass,I was ordered enough gear for the year in one pack and lost it.Thank god nothing came of it.
