Some places might go over the top esp if your in a small place,if whatever you ordered has been seized you'd get an LL not a phone call,PO aint going to start phoning you,dont know what you ordered and what amount,if its a bucket load of controlled meds then i think they'd visit and/or try a controlled delivery to bust you,that aint happened so you just got to cross it off and leave it.Package has gone,maybe a posty stole it,god knows,they wouldn't mess around for weeks,you'd have heard something by now if a worse case senario was going to happen.

A. 1 of 4 packages breaks open, i receive nothing but an envelope.
B. The following day i get called on a cell phone not in my name and never provided to pick package up
C. They hold the package 6 months when the policy is 14 days, and i have proof that in any normal case they do only wait 2 weeks. Every few weeks i get another pinkie.
Any one of those is no problem. 2 i might joke about it. But all 3 is enough to make me consider the consequences, and the worst possible outcome is a helluva lot worse than losing a couple hundred pins.
That's a good point. And to be fair if it had happened to me I'd probably be feeling the same way.Â

I ordered 800 alps once. Later that week I was arrested on something totally unrelated. I was incarcerated over a month and a half. I was communicating with neighbor on the phone I had checking my mail and the pink slip showed up 2 days after I was arrested. Well 45 days later on get out and long since wrote that order off. So I order 200 from the same vendor. 7-10 days later as usual I get home and the pinky is in the mailbox. So I go to pick up the 200 from the post office. He goes in the back comes out has me sign for the little package. And hands it to me. He then sets a larger package on the counter and says I have this for that address as well would you like it to. I had used different name but he let me sign and take it since it was the same address. I asked don't they only hold these 15 days. H e said yes but international is a little different. I wasn't asking any more questions. I was out the door with my 1000. So I know first hand they heard that one over 2 months without it being a sting but I admit I was nervous as f*** leaving that time.but them rural areas find an envelope with it in it. They were probably trying to bust you
I have always kept the attitude of being open and friendly with the usps people, just about my online business/ebay store and my family I support overseas through my churches i attend
never heard anything, I mean we are not doing anything wrong, bigger things are out there, not us
I can understand your nervousness graham. I get nervous when I have to sign and I have never been arrested. I know that they aren't going to blow a whistle and throw you on the floor, but still.
If it makes it passed customs and then it takes the reasonable time to reach you AND you're not ordering crap by the key, there should be nothing more than a dreaded LL...
Why waste beau coup money to catch up to an end user?! They'll just take your stuff and maybe "red flag" the vendor or even, depending on what was actually seized, red flag your addy... That would be an extreme case... How many do you think they do that to? I would believe the count is rather small...
Just sayin...

What's the best website for checking packages.
If it's coming us mail... You can put in (g00gle) your tn and usps and it'll take you to the only link... Click that and there you have it...

Thanks ice,mucho appreciated
I still use the "text upadte"... When my mags are scanned, they shoot me a text... No need to keep checking to see if "anything is moving" ... They tell you when/if they get around to it...
Still can't figure out where it is with no scan yet...
