I got an envelope from my vendor that was sealed with green custom's tape. In it was a letter that said, essentially, it had contained controlled substances, but that they took them. If I do nothing, they will do nothing (but toss them in 30 days) but that if found trying to import in the future I may face personal prosecution or criminal charges.

How worried should I be?

Thanks.

Not very.  These messages from customs are considered Love Letters or LL's.  In essence, we are notified that are shipment was seized.  It is recommended that you notify the vendor that you received an LL for a few reasons.  One being to let them know that their packaging might not be good enough to get across the border.  The other is so that they may reship the item free of charge.  So don't worry, nobody's going to be knocking at your door.  The majority of us who shop overseas get these letters from time to time.  They're a real bummer, but besides that, they're not even worth the paper they are printed on.

 
Oh, that's what y'all mean by love letters! Still getting used to the lingo around here. Thanks very much.

You pinned that tail on the donkey!

 
this surely eases the minds of me and my loved ones /default_smile.png I'm still in the browsing phase. thanks for the info guys

 
Just remember what you're ordering. Some items have more serious consequences if you're caught. Read as much as you can.

There are some precautions that can be taken to lessen the risks but some risk is always there. If you feel that you are not willing to take the chance then don't.

Luck has a lot to do with this among other factors. Again read more here and try to see how everything fits together. Lots of moving pieces and you just gotta know how to move around to best protect yourself.

 
If you get an item with green tape but all was accounted for, do you think that means they really didn't inspect it? Or just looked the other way? Happened to me recently as well.

 
I had that happen years ago and just assumed it was because it was  non scheduled.

 
I'm reading about gov. forfeitures and there are several pages like this:

Seized on 06/25/2013; At the port of NEW YORK CITY, NY; COUNTERFEIT TOM &

JERRY COLORING BOOK; Valued at $0.00; For violation of 19USC1526(E), 18USC2323, 18USC2320
 
pages of counterfeit coloring books... I couldn't believe my eyes.  Lots of cuban cigars and clothes and very little of what we concern ourselves with here.

  4. L @ Layne_Cobain: What is the nootropic @Royboy99
  5. R @ Royboy99: Roughly 1g in 10-15ml of Saline
  6. R @ Royboy99: Honestly the greatest medication I’ve trialed
  7. R @ Royboy99: And it’s not like I’m geeked out crazy looking or acting , just happy, confident , loving life, productive af, greatest nootropic I’ve experienced
  8. R @ Royboy99: Man I really love these misters I make , it takes my day that’s at a 2 and cranks it up to at least a 9… with sustained reups as needed … if only this was fda approved med lol, make my life so much easier
  9. C @ ClintEastwood: Well I got burned on my first buy. It stral sucks the guy has sole things in stock. But definitely what I ordered and I thought he was honest because I asked for something very close to it and i said what about that one. Yeah I got it. And the comms were wired and he was really wanting me to make his forum board look better. Now I know the first thing to look at even before the menu. But I have some business with usps tomorrow and will ask for everything mailed to me especially packages
  10. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: Policies have changed and i would behoove everyone to due their due diligence and go have a look. The guidelines from 5-10 years ago dont apply. And rules, regulations and laws may not either, i mean do you see anyone giving 2 sh1tz about the C0n$tituti@n recently?
  11. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: @rasetreydir, yeah those are good af too
  12. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: @Ross7223, they should boycott pre-paid p0stage
  13. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: @Gulp2788, no they do not as of sept 25, u cant assume everything is the same, or anything for that matter. Its a brave new A-1 world folks.
  14. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: My milage has differed to yours though, I've found them incredibly reliable with their tracking and 3 day delivery is pretty accurate.
  15. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I agree but U5PS has to go through a legal process to search packages. Private companies can open your mail at their discretion.
  16. Ross7223 @ Ross7223: @Gulp2788 because they always lose pckgs, track1ng is never right, never is 3 day deliv3ry like they say
  17. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @Ross7223 From my understanding that's actually counter-productive, but maybe you know something I don't. Why do you say that?
  18. Ross7223 @ Ross7223: Vendor$ should boycott U5P5, they are terrible!
  19. Thoth @ Thoth: Happy Weekend! Let’s Get It!!!
  20. cannedgoods @ cannedgoods: Happy Weekend everybody! cheers!
