USPS Package Inspection

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.

Whew! This makes me feel a lot better. I’ll say this reading the stories that the OP wrote about to start this thread had me shitting a brick. Eases my concerns a bit...thank you!

  10. T @ Thedoccc: Hey y'all, wanted to tell you that I signed that second contract I was hoping for. Which should keep me afloat for the rest of the year, and hopefully 2026 if all goes well. Appreciate your encouragement, love, prayers and out reach. I was really feeling low last week and needed that extra bit of <3
  11. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: hahhah right on man. they spent so much bread.
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: Could b worse dude could be a met fan right now 😂 that payroll and no playoffs 😳 I kinda feel bad for em such an insane collapse and so insanely opposite of what happened last year with them starting terrible then catching fire all the way to the nlcs
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: That Texas playoff series last year crushed out spirits lmao. They wrecked us.
  14. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: No you're pretty much spot on. We've been playing better since the firing of Hyde but I think it's just coincidence. Even though he was terrible at putting the correct relievers in at the wrong time.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Exactly didn’t make a good enough offer to Burnes to keep him and didn’t go after any other top pitching then when things were over come deadline traded away a bunch altho I don’t think any of them besides O’hearn and maybe a reliever or two were doing that well but I could be remembering wrong
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: *bucks
  17. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Just needed pitching. And mister big buks didn't spend sh1it hahhaha.
  18. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: We were stacked and ready to go.
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: I'm in the same boat as you. The blame goes on the owner and Elias (our GM)
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: I was just thinking that bro I honestly didn’t think Hyde was all that bad but when things go south it’s usually the managers on the chopping block to make the point …I think there’s some decent managers out there looking for a spot
