Amsterdam & using postal services in the UK...

Now it's obviously not me who's tempted to try this - certainly a friend of a friend  And this is obviously for information only , but I've heard work mate say that If you send weed through the post from the 'dam, addressed to a non-existent person at your address, then technically you can't be charged if your letter/package gets pulled by Customs/Police as you just deny all knowledge of the person living at your address (or say that they used to live there put moved on) - plus I would have thought that a couple of small bags of well disguised weed in the post are hardly going to warrant a door being kicked in....
Would this actually work or are we talking urban legend territory here?

i can imagine jiffy bags being sent from the 'dam are gonna be liable to more searches than most. i guess you could hide it in a cuddly toy or something. in the battery compartment. wrap it up like a birthday present or something. with a b'day card

I have a friend who went with me to amsterdam and he mailed back like 5 packages to his own address (in the USA). One of the packages didn't make it (that package was just weed in an envelope) but the other 4 did. Customs just sent him a letter about the one that didn't make it saying that it was illegial. No problems at all since then and that was 6 months ago.

It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

Some of these strangers in the 'Dam are very kind indeed , but bear in mind LordPeter that the letters wouldn't have been sent to my house - it's a friend of a friend we're talking about here!
