USPS Package Inspection

GungHo said:
I wanted to give everyone an update on this issue, which originally occurred in late April.  Well, it happened again, same vendor, but going to a different address.  But this time they confiscated my money and will only return it if I can prove that it was for a legitimate business transaction, personal loan, transfer, etc.  I have to provide names, dates, invoices, whatever.  Yeah, sure thing, I will get on that right away!  Their Forfeiture Team was supposed to send the forms to fill out over a month ago but nothing yet.  Just the name of their group alone tells me their intent.  Anyway, I am using another delivery service now, no idea why I didn't change that before.  So if you thought CIM was safe, apparently not for some.

Was it by USPS or a private carrier? Can you give an idea such as 1st name of receiver?

 
A very interesting article on seizure of CIM by one local police department working hand-in-hand with FedEx.   The local cops routinely work with FedEx to intercept, inspect, and claim CIM which is rarely returned whether the sender is innocent of a crime or not!   More interesting info: they focus on packages that appear to have been sealed and protected with extra padding and tape.  Fake addresses are also a big red flag.

That's nout right. Some unlucky people probably didn't get a card with birthday or xmam money, and think their family or friends couldn't be bothered with them. Probably not that many, but bet it has caused some friction.

This article should be read by everyone on this site.  HUGELY important

 
Wow!! The authorities in SC took 17.6 Million in cash in just three years! Even if there is no criminal activity proven. That is just obscene!
This practice should not be legal, and it sounds as though not only is it legal but routine/common in SC!!  That is infuriating 🤬 This article was a good read though.

That they look for extra padding/ tape, etc. is good info to have. I have always thought that if I were to send CIM I would just send it in a card to my good vendor friend :) I should be allowed to mail a card and monetary gift to whoever I want. It is crazy that people are being stopped from doing so and are being robbed in this way.

 
Thank you @GungHofor sharing the article. The lack of due process is super-unsettling. To me it seems at odds with the 14th amendment.

" nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law "

 
Have a similar situation right now. Expecting a package from a source here (domestic). The date it was supposed to be delivered was showing up when the tracking was punched in, now for the past 2 days it has been “in transit to next usps facility”. Also the day that it was expected to land has disappeared now when I type in my tracking.

I had a cim payment do that this week. Sent from post office, showed a normal priority date, then it hit the local distibution facility. The delivery date disappeared and it said in transit for 3 days before it finally appeared on the other end at a distro center. 3 day priority took 6 days total. Vendor even emailed me like "might wanna check the tracking number"

P.s. word from the post office was that the distribution centers are backed up due to increased mail order activity and newly implemented protocols.

  2. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  4. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  9. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  11. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  12. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  16. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  17. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  18. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  19. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
