NO MY SPORES WERE CONFISCATED

Today I got a letter in the mail from health Canada saying my damn spore syringes had been confiscated, and now I'm out of spores, and have a limited amount of cash. So does anyone know of anyplace to get cheap prints or syringes I guess inside Canada? Thanx

Please post a copy of why it was confiscated.
Was it confiscated because it was a syringe, or becase it was spores.

They can confiscate and they do confiscate. Not all the time but sometimes.
I've seen prints not make it accross.

Now waht happens when they Do interfere...is it a matter of jus throwin it out or is there an investigation and all this hoopla shit that goes on>??? There is no identification on the package whatsoever...looks like an ordinary letter. It aint like it's saringes and bulges out. the only way they can find it being suspicious is if they actually OPEn it themselves. I mean losing a print cost nothing really but that aint the point.
Thx though

Try e-mailing the vendor you ordered your spores from. If they are nice enough maybe they will try sending again. I would say chances are they wouldn't get confiscated a second time(But don't take my word on that). But like someone said before don't try and make any trouble with "Health Canada" or whatever you said.

No i didnt get spores from the vendor. I jus wanna know cus i wanna send some1 a spore print and since prints are much smaller to send as oppose to a huge ass saringe, that'll kinda make it near to impossible for a customs person to know that a print is inside. but so waht, sending a spore print aint illegal is it? And if theres no return address, cant really send it back can they.

i believe biological materials sent internationaly to or from the us must, by law, be properly labled (not positive on this) but if it's in an ordinary envelope and there's nothing suspicious they can't do anything about it. i'm not sure about mexico but in the us, without probable cause, they can't open ANY letter to check it's contents, us mail is federaly protected, even from the post office. if i'm wrong about anything [in this post] please let me know because i like to be well informed.

Ive recieved spore prints from England and France with no problems (in envelopes) I've been more worried about these machines the postal service is supposed to be installing that'll irradiate the mail to kill anthrax spores. I would assume they would kill mushroom spores too? does anybody have any knowledge
on this?
that would really screw us!!

Was the package properly labelled with a customs declaration clearly stating what these wear?
If Customs/Health Canada/whoever is in any doubt as to the contents of a package, they will seize the shipment. Imagine you're a Government official and find a pacakge that looks dodgy...you open it up and it's full of syringes PRE-FILLED with an anonymous liquid. What are you going to do? Send the package on it's merry way? I thought not...
Nor are you likely to send it for testing because of burdun of proof issues with mail crime. (Time and money).
It's actually LESS SMART to not label or mislabel.

Even if it did state what they were, what postal worker do you know that _wouldn't_ stop something containing "spores"? specialy after the anthrax thing.
