California customs seized parcel containing 5g of mdma.. HELP
#18427296 - 06/16/13 11:48 AM (10 years, 10 months ago) |

So I ordered 5 g of crystal mdma from Ukraine, I received a tracking number which I tracked. Along the way I had to pay various amounts because of importation laws and what was said it was on the package, some flower. So the package arrived to California about 30 miles from my home and I received a email from the shipping service, "xpressmaildelivery" stating that the parcel was in customs and fell off of a desk and burst. They then tested it and it tested positive for an illegal substance. They then stated that it is at the lowest level and has mot been reported to the authorities yet. They are requesting 2000.00 for the matter to be closed at that level. And this is a direct email from xpressmaildelivery, has anyone ever heard of such a thing? And what do you think will happen if I don't pay? The supplier is adamant on paying and is willing to pay half of the 2000.00. Any help would be appreciated.

So they basically want $2000 in hush money? I think you need a lawyer. Also this doesn't make sense, if customs found it then how is "not reporting it to the authorities" even an option?

Do you know for a fact that "xpressmaildelivery" is a legit delivery service? Maybe the supplier is shady and is scamming you? I don't know. Feels sketchy man. I hope everything works out for the best.

Sounds like a scam. If they found MDMA they wouldn't try to get money out of you, they would take you to jail. It sounds like your source is playing you. The fact that you had to pay various amounts along the way convinces me even more that this is a scam. They most likely have not even sent the package. I read about someone else being scammed like this. If I were you I would just take the loss and be more careful about who you order from in the future. Being from Ukraine sounds fishy to me.

Customs did not find it, whatever private company opened the package illegally and are not requesting money to keep quite. You could talk to a lawyer, because there might be something you could do about them opening your package. But because it's a private company, there might not.
I, personally wouldn't pay shit. I would plead ignorant. You didn't know anything about the package, and the email you got sounded like some scam so you deleted it.
edit: On second thought, yeah like others have said above, it sounds like the seller is trying to scam you. Especially since he is so adamant about you paying.

Yep.

This delivery service was hired, not by me, to deliver a package from the Ukraine. A few days ago, they contacted me and said that the package was in France and they needed $200 to create some document to allow it to be imported. Then on Sunday, they contacted me and said the package had arrived in Ontario, CA and they needed $300 for a DEA license in order to deliver the package to me. I was never informed of either of these requirements from the original company I bought the product from. According to their tracking, it left the sort facility yesterday and now, twenty minutes ago, they inform me that the package burst open by customs and they say it is an illegal substance. If it is reported, it would cost $8000 however if I pay them $2000 right now, everything would be OK.

Congratulations, you're being scammed because you were stupid enough to do business with anonymous Ukrainian vendors. Do a search for xpressmaildelivery; you'll find you're not the only one being scammed.

Gotta be a scam. If US customs found it, there wouldn't be a way to pay off the delivery service to hush it up.

Yep, you're being scammed. Cut your losses and move on. You aren't getting that MDMA from the Ukraine.

Sounds like bullshit, how would customs know your email address? Was it wrote on the package? Highly unlikely

Wow I kind of figured, but I wasn't sure, so the vendor told me it shipped I tracked it. It got to France then they needed 170.00 for importing fee or something then it arrived in Orlando Florida and it said I needed some DEA license. Which I paid, the whole time I was very sketchy about it but hoped for the best now they want 2000.00 which I'm like fuck this. Ill just hope for the best but according to the other post it seems very much like a scam.

The shipping company are the ones claiming they can make the problem go away with $2000. There probably never was any MDMA, if customs found it then OP would hear from them directly. Also, they pulled exactly the same thing on someone else and asked for the same amount.
