Just due to the fact that the USPS is tied with the US government doesn't make me feel comfortable. I've never had a problem with UPS.

As for Western Union. (Assuming you are sending money) You can anonymously send money by using a fake name/address on the 'From:' portion on the form you fill out. However, if something happens or you want a refund, you won't be able to do anything because they will ask for an ID, or I think you might be able to change the name/address on the form (for either the From or To portion) by calling from the same phone number you put down on the form when you filled it out at the WU center. Puttin down your real phone number is like putting down your real information though..

Keep in mind that spores and prints are legal. Your main concern is making sure no organism in this universe knows what you're doing. Cheers..

USPS mail is protected by federal law, UPS is not. That means if they want to open your mail, they have to be ready to adhere to a huge set of federal guidelines, whereas UPS simply has to adhere to their terms of service which you inherently agree to by contracting their services.

Like I said, read postmaster's entries for information on this topic.

Sorry, but company policy is to not open a package. We arent even supposed to acknowledge whats inside a package when it opens accidentally, which happens all the time. You arent supposed to read papers or look at the product. Just throw it in the box and tape it up. Nobody here gives two shits what you fucking send.

USPS- I've had some Purely Amazing things sent to me. Never a Prob.
And I use them for regular items, also.
During the holidays, we play P.O. lottery. Where I live, It's Impossible to get fast ship times.
Last x-mas, we sent a heavy package to familly members...paid $52( !!) for the fastest ship available, I think 2 days. Gauranteed.
Lo, it was a 3 days 'tll they got it. I went and got $52 back in cash from P.O.
Free Ship.
Peace

UPS ....... if this is a vote.

1 Nobody there gives a shit about what's in the box.
2 If they find drugs, it will make the news. They really don't want that publicity. Why is UPS going thru boxes?
3 UPS is more reliable than mailman.
4 They don't have time to go thru boxes or check on things.

Just double and triple pack it with an addy on each pack. Those usps tyvek envolopes make a good inner layer.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003508676_mail04.html

Quote:

WASHINGTON — President Bush quietly has claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans' mail without a judge's warrant.

Bush asserted the new authority Dec. 20 after signing legislation that overhauls some postal regulations. He then issued a "signing statement" that declared his right to open mail under emergency conditions, contrary to existing law and contradicting the bill he had just signed, according to experts who have reviewed it.

A White House spokeswoman disputed claims that the move gives Bush any new powers, saying the Constitution allows such searches.

Recently the government (either State of Federal, I forget) tried to crack down on Indian reservations mailing out cigarettes. All companies e.g. UPS, FedEx, etc. complied. However, USPS didn't comply on the basis that it was a violation of the senders & receivers rights.

Just some food for thought

im guessing you work for UPS?.. same company i was most reccently employed with

UPS is by far the best shipping company, both domestic and international.

just to echo what he said.. even if we found a package containing an illegal substance we arent supposed to acknowledge it.. retape it and send it on its way.

UPS opened a non-suspicious and well sealed package I sent mine several months ago, and the recipient said it came re-sealed in customs tape. I'm wondering what caused that.

hmm i somehow dont believe you.. ive handled hundreds of thousands of packages and have never seen this happen.

now if something is leaking then it goes thru a special process, but in no case is something sent to customs..

although i did deal mostly with domestic shipping, dont really recall too many international packages... but we generally did the re-taping ourselves.

Then Customs opened it. I thought the specific mail service played the role as Customs for cross-border packages, I didn't know Customs was an independant organization.

That changes my concerns, because I see Customs as the biggest threat to opening packages, and we're stuck with the same group then no matter what.

UPS randomly inspects packages, especially overnight int'l. Rather i should say customs does....

And re: whoever said Bush allows opening of mail.. thats not quite true. Do more reading on the actual legislation (its actually not even new).

USPS still requires a warrant for the "everyday joe", its the "suspected terrorist" that is pretty well screwed.

Haven't you been reading the news? Yes, it's new. And it doesn't really have that much to do with the legislation. The legislation is bad enough but it's the "signing statement" that's the worst. He basically said that he'll open whatever he wants, and that he has the authority to do so and always has.

This is absolute nonsense.

I've worked for UPS for a number of years and deal with thousands of domestic and hundreds of international packages every day. I have never even SEEN a customs person at ANY of the UPS facilities I've worked for.

We certainly dont search domestic packages. We couldnt care less what you send. Maybe if your package containing 100lbs of high-grade herb breaks open on the floor, some of the high-school dropouts we employ might steal it, but thats your only concern.

We arent even supposed to look at whats in a package when we tape it up if it breaks.

Nobody cares what you ship, just package it securely.

Maybe that's because customs inspects packages at ports of entry. There obviously aren't customs officials at every beat up UPS facility around the country.

If it goes international then it goes through customs. Every single shipment is either inspected or just passes through customs.

I'm sure UPS doesn't give a damn about what's in domestic packages, but if it's international then customs has the choice to inspect it or not.

hmm.. why arent you listening to the people who WORK for the company..

do you even know what your talking about? "point of entry"? this is literally how packages move with UPS.

semi rolls up with packages.. unloaders open the door, start unloading.. sorters sort the packages to small trucks or a new semi.. loaders scan the packages and track them to their next destination..

the only part i think customs MAY be involved in, is with the semi's that drive to the airport.. i THINK they are loaded directly into the cargo, and HAZMATS are checked.. i dont think customs has anything to do with the packages... im not 100% certain, but im about 90%

I work at the international airport in a northern state. We have airplanes, Cessna's and whatnot that come in directly form Toronto.

They are unloaded and put on Semis or package cars.

Nobody is inspecting them.

What banez says is absolutely correct.

Maybe at a big port of entry, like LA or something, they have Customs people. But not at every rinky-dink airport that packages come into.

Hmmm... Well then I guess that those semis just roll right across the border right into the US then. And they just unload the planes right onto a semi that just rolls right away from the airport with no checkpoints.

That sounds great... Where are these special lines? I'd sure like to just bypass customs all together. Is there a special form I can use for international packages that just says "don't bother with customs"?

So when you fill out the forms that declare what's in the package, what the value is, taxes paid, etc. that nobody even bothers to read that?

So UPS has some sort of special privileges, where everyone and everything else has to go through customs, but UPS has a special express lane that just goes right past customs?

I think you just aren't seeing the bigger picture. Some stuff gets inspected before it leaves it's origin on international flights, some gets inspected at the international airport that it lands at. Obviously they don't take each and every package and individually inspect it, but it all does go through customs. Maybe a lot of times it's just some bureaucrat stamping shit off by the truckload, but every package gets some sort of clearance by customs to enter the country.

I've read news stories about the US setting up large customs operations in various countries to inspect stuff bound for the US. At some point almost everything goes through some sort of customs checkpoint. If they want to stop and inspect a package then they will.

As for little airports near the border... They may call themselves "international", but in reality just because you can land a Cessna that flew a couple hundred miles from another country doesn't make you big enough to register on their radar. I have an airport like that near me. They don't land 747's or cargo planes.

Anything that ships UPS is going to come in on a large cargo plane at a large international airport. They don't just let large shipments like that roll right into the country with no oversight. I've seen customs putting tamper-proof seals across shipping containers bound for other countries. Maybe that's as close as anyone ever gets to those packages, but they are going through customs and getting approved, inspected, or denied.

Please enlighten me then. I've been through many customs checkpoints. I've also seem many shows about how cargo is handled and inspected at major airports and shipyards. I know I am right about the major ports of entry. So please elxplain how I am wrong about whatever you say I'm wrong about.

Tell me how I can exploit the supposed loopholes that you see. Tell me how I can ship off a package through UPS, and ensure that it traveles trough some small airport, on a small cessna, to an airport near the border, on flights that they never inspect.

Otherwise what your're saying isn't relevant to the day to day stuff that is sent across the border.

I dont think anyone is saying NOTHING is getting inspected.

I'm just telling you, in my experience, in many years with the company dealing in international and domestic shipping, I've never seen a customs person or seen a package inspected by anyone.

Be paranoid if you want, or believe what you saw on a TV show, I'm just telling you the facts.

my best friend back in LA has worked for ups for about 3 or 4 years now. he is one faded ass bastard. i know about 5 other people that work there. they are all faded ass bastards. they dont give a flying fuck what they send out. and yes, they pack this stuff directly on a plane and the stuff they get comes from a plane that JUST landed.

USPS is the safest. As someone has stated, there are laws and regulations that they must follow. UPS/FedEX/DHL are not bound by those laws. Those are the facts, personal experience may differ but as far as the actual laws/regulations, USPS is the safest way.
