Customs and international mailing
    #8949585 - 09/18/08 01:59 PM (15 years, 5 months ago)

Anyone have any ideas on how to ship things internationally and get it thru customs?  Like small little things?

Do they check packages a lot more than letters etc..?

They xray everything pretty much?

Customs can and will stop things that are perfectly legal. Your best bet is to disguise it as something acceptable which it looks a lot like or else smuggle it in. Envelopes are almost never checked, unless they are bubble type or suspiciously fat. Even then, most get by. Packages with a customs declaration get checked maybe every fourth one. They may have a dog around sniffing, I really can't say.

If you send something illegal and have your correct return address, they may come knocking. If you use a fake return addy, don't forget they take your picture at the PO and will or may check for fingerprints.

I doubt finger prints and pictures, however, if you're paranoid, use gloves and drop the thing off prepaid in a drop off box.

Put a fake return addy, but use a real name and address IN THAT AREA. Don't use an addy from a half hour away, or a fake one.

"I doubt finger prints and pictures,"

I found out about this by reading a story on a guy who sent cash through the mail to puerto rico. They had a photo of him sending the package. You recall those black domes in the ceiling of the post office? That's what they are for. If you think they won't look for finger prints when they find some major contraband, guess again. Putting in a drop box is better.

I'd know what those black domes were, but in Canada, we don't have those.

Sorry, didn't know the US was THAT paranoid.

Im thinking of getting my friend in the uk to send me out some mdma caps, probably only a small ammount like 6(which when emptied out of the caps is like half a g)How do u think he should package it? I read that they hardly open regular envelopes unless they look suss, so was thinking maybe he could put the mdma powder in a wrap or plastic clippy bag and make it as flat as possible and just put it inside a card to mail to me. That way from the outside it just looks like a regular card in the mail.
Obviously he wouldnt put my name or his name on the envelope.

Anyone got any better ideas?

That's the standard procedure. In many of my dreams, I've received some pretty scheduled stuff in the mail without problems. Tape the flattened baggie on a document so that it doesn't move around or leak, put another document on top, fold them up together, and send that. Tape the envelope, in a clean and reasonable fashion. Print the addresses if possible. The cleaner it looks, the better your chances.

Be careful about fake names. Some letter carriers will actually send back mail if it's addressed to someone that they don't know is living there. They keep track of names. Or, if they come to the door and ask if xxx lives there, it puts you on the spot. Have it sent to occupant or to your name. It does not get you into trouble because anyone could send something to anyone else.

If someone comes to the door after you get something and asks if you were expecting a package or letter from a certain place, just say "no, not really" If you do get your letter or package with contraband in it, let it sit unopened by the door for at least a few hours or better yet, for a day. If shortly after you take it in, you get a knock at the door and they ask you about it, just say you were not expecting it and do not know the sender. It may have already been opened and resealed. By not opening it yourself and by admitting you got it but denying you know anything about it, you give them nothing to convict you with.

Do not deny getting it. They can prove that part and it makes you look guilty. An innocent person might open it by mistake but that is technically a crime if it's not addressed to you.

Another thing to keep in mind is if you have contraband sent to your home they could get a warrant and bust in. They may not fool around with asking you about it or they may do that first and if you give the right answers and haven't opened it, they may then bust in on the warrant. If you have other illegal things in the house, they can bust you for that even if it has nothing to do with what was sent. Having it sent to a clean house is better.

> Tape the envelope

Taped envelopes are supposedly one of the red flags that they look for.  Non-existent return addresses are another.

They don't like tape on the outside, that is true. It's against regs. You could always put tape on the inside to make it stronger. A little awkward to do but can be done. I've heard they can look up the return addy but I doubt they do it often. Lumpy or uneven envelopes take extra postage and they may send it back in that case. Ooops!

I must say you're right. Don't tape it.
