I've had small amounts of weed sent to me in the mail in a plain envelope.
-------------------- I went to st thomas and camped out ontop of the island... Despite my entire family being poor all my life, the land is priceless. I was chased by haitians in the main city charlotte amalie when my girlfriend and I got some cocaine for free in a bar and mixed it with alcohol, to form a stronger drug. With such confidence at 2am, we walked the 4-5 or so miles down to the beach where the african slaves lie like lions waiting on tourist prey. The war isen't on drugs... the war is on the causes that influence people to abuse drugs. drug-abuse is a by-product of the system and much like radioactive waste occurs from utilizing nuclear power, drug addicts with drug-problems will need to be properly disposed of, like the decaying radioactive waste produced from nuclear energy. -i2ancid

I think knowingly allowing illegal actions to take place is illegal. Plus the company probably has policies so that drugs cant be delivered. Think about it. A driver prints out a bogus sticker from work, stops by a friend's house and picks up three boxes of 20 lbs of pot, loads them into the truck with the bogus stickers on them, travels across town and drops them off at the buyers house. If he gets stoped by a cop, there not his boxes so he gets off, and the crack house that the sticker says the package is going to gets raided.

I know UPS is alot more lax about the security of there packages then FEDEX.....I once applied at a FED EX facility and all workers were required to go through a metal detector while entering and leaving the building for any reason.
I was also at UPS locations frequently over the years and noticed they have no such security measures.

What can brown do for you? obviously not transport my hefty quantaties of weed and coke. But yeah i think its safe as long as you seal it up good. they sell smell proof baggies at head shops, and it never hurts to put a layer of potpurri, coffe grounds, or laundry softener around one of the outer most layers, just make sure to wrap the inner layers good enough so your dank doesnt smell like snuggle

we used to find small containers and melt about an inch of scented candle wax on the bottom, then place your item ontop and melt wax on it the rest of the way until it is covered, put a small wic at the top and it just looks and smells like a candle.

Ya, its virtually impossible to get a box to your house. I've worked for ups for like 4 years and i've never heard of anyone sucessfully stealing from UPS.
The problem is that your name and location is attached to every box you touch. So when a box goes missing, you can see the point where it stopped progressing and that narrows down who did what.
Also, didn't even conceal the smell? idiots.
-------------------- "To do right is to know what you want. Now when you are dissatisfied with yourself it's because you are after something you don't really want. What objects are you proposing to yourself? Are they the objects you really value? If they are not, you are cheating yourself. I don't meant that if you chose to pursue the objects you most value, you will attain them; of course not. Your experience will tell you that. But success in getting after much labor what you really don't care for is the bitterest and most ridiculous failure." -George Santayana

Factor in GPS devices keeping an eye on the truck's whereabouts and the whole "bogus shipping label" idea goes out the window a bit.

No where did this article mention that the suspicious odor was that of drugs. They may have tried to disguise the smell with a large quantity of perfume, cologne, fabric softener, air freshener, etc, thus attracting attention to the package.

UPS always stinks like pot, "overgood" means a package opened up on accident and whatever was inside is visible. when that happens someone has to retape it or if your box is gone it goes to a overgoods dept. to find the owner and get reboxed at best 25% of a truk is open or has fallen out. worst 100% wich happens alot, I suspect looters. smell is not a concern since its hard to pinpoint a package based on smell when theres alot of them and you got work to do.

People I know that work for fedex (thats the brown one right?) open up boxes delivered to capital returns, which is a place hospitals send old, unused medicine to in milwaukee, and the GMA. They score lots of pills. They are truck drivers, they have no problems stealing.
