1) Follow all guidance in this thread: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7724870/an/46/fpart/all
2) The system appears to be designed so they can tape you as you ship.  Unless its under 13 ounces, in which case you can just put it into a mailbox.
3) Make the package look as normal as possible.  A ton of stamps is odd, use high denomination stamps.  Anything that makes your package look like a legit ebay package will help.  Print out an ebay label, etc.  I have ordered a lot of stuff from ebay and the boxes pretty much look the same, so try to fit that profile.
4) Don't use express mail, regular first class is much less likely to be opened.
5) Since there will be nothing wrong with the package and it will be packaged really well, they will not open it.  Package your items so even if they do open the box for any reason, its still tightly wrapped and a real pain in the ass to get to, that way if the box busts open or something they will just stick the stuff back in and send it on its way.


I use the automated postage machine to pay for stamps so its just one paper label.  That leaves a credit card trail, I guess you could use a prepaid cash credit card if you are worried about it.

And with all that great advice you failed to mention FedEx (and UPS) can open any package they want, without a warrant or even a suspicion no matter how well it's been packed up.  Don't ship through private couriers, use USPS only.

Also; use common sense.

Stick it in something else within the box.

...or just ship it in a legitimate looking USPS package and not deal with coffee cans, stuffed animals, tea bags, or whatever else you feel like wasting your time on.  You do realize some people have been in the mail order game for well over a decade now, without being busted even once?  I'd go with their advice, not some first-time shipper.

I was told USPS can run dogs through some of their inventory. I have several close friends who've worked for UPS for years and they do no such inventory dog checks.. As long as your package is properly packed, UPS will NOT open your package.. Im not sure if i'd trust the USPS people.. If they did suspect ANYTHING.. your Shit would go federal.. If UPS magically busts open your well packaged box, some 21 year old college student is going to pocket it and sell it at school (and definetely NOT inform anyone important)

Apparently, they do have dogs at some USPS facilities (probably the large hubs). --> http://www.eagletribune.com/punews/local_story_351163604.html

Drugs found in UPS vs USPS packages makes no difference in charges. Either one = a federal case if you're shipping outside of your state. It's interstate commerce, the realm of the fed gov.

I would ship USPS first class or priority mail only (under 13 oz), dropped in a blue USPS drop box, if I were to ship questionable goods. They need warrants to open those.

And I once knew a meter maid who insisted that the authorities don't waterboard people or attach electrodes to their genitals and make them stand on a box wearing a goofy outfit.

Obviously they don't have dogs in every post office or every sorting hub.  But they certainly run dogs through some hubs once in awhile.  That's proven fact, people have been busted for that reason.

As I've said in other threads, UPS occasionally allows narcotics officers (with K9 Units) into their hubs, especially when the individual package cars are being loaded for local delivery. At the UPS hub I work at, there's almost always a police presence (usually to catch people with warrants coming in or leaving work) during shift change, as well. Cooperation with law enforcement is pretty obvious - personally, I would use USPS.

Also, anyone receiving a potentially illicit package should never, ever sign for it.
