It would be more likely that naps return address has been flagged than yours. Why the hell are you using naps to begin with?

Some say your address gets flagged, but then there's guys that have had numerous packs seized, then a bunch more packs make it through.
Customs doesn't have the ability to thoroughly inspect every single package, so i doubt that they flag addresses and then keep an eye out for your name. The list would be a mile long and they don't have time for that shit.

I used to rep and remail for a few sources quit a few years ago, but this is often brought up. From my experience there is no flagging of names or addresses. If an address was flagged, people move so now regardless that address is no good. As far as names go multiple people have the same or similar names, so one john smith gets flagged. What happens to all the others? As you can see the database would have to be very extensive, and you would have to be flagged by name and address. Think of the amount of packages going through along with the time to run them through the database, and then a team of people to constantly keep it up to date.
I have seen packs coming from the same address get snagged multiple times from one custom area, and then the same address will make it through days later. Some customs areas catch a lot more packages then others. I have been away from this aspect of the game for years so things may be slightly different, but I doubt they have implemented a database for seized packs.

Is it really possible though? Imagine the sheer amount of packages passing through customs on a daily basis. There's no way that they could look at the sender/receiver on every single package and try to match those names or those addresses to a log of flagged people, in any sort of a timely fashion.
Even if they could, let's say they somehow slap a barcode onto each package label with that info. A simple name change or misspelling could bypass that. What about when people move to a new state or move to the other end of town? How would they account for that?
How much time and manpower would it take to setup some sort of a barcode system for each package and avoid slowing down the entire shipping system? (Answer: Far too much.)
What if you have the nuclear family, all of which orders trash off of Alibaba? Same address. That means those packages would require special attention. Multiply that by the hundreds of thousands of families in this country alone, and it just makes it down right impossible for them to keep up.
The cost for that kind of manpower would be astronomical and Uncle Sam and all his foreign counterparts ain't gonna put that kinda money into the customs system.
You make a lot of good points, blacklisting addresses isn't feasible.

From my own personal experience, red flag is a myth, or at least it's not common thing that we think.
Just for an example, I shipped a package to a guy thru regular airmail and customs seized it. I immediately reshipped via UPS, and he told me that he had no second address, so we had only one option, and I sent second package to same address, and it got delivered just within a few days (because of Chinese guys, they keep sending fentanyl with UPS and FedEx, all express methods are unsafe for a while, so I had to switch my shipping method to old good regular/registered airmail which is safest one) And this happened to me a few times in 2018. People still use poss. "red flagged" addresses when they order thru me, and they keep getting their packages without a problem.
In theory, as MisterSuperGod mentioned above, it's not possible to track every package that sent via regular airmail. US customs struggle with tons of packages package every damn day.
Some of my packages that I sent to US, got opened by US customs a few times and they released it after they opened. That's another weird story. Probably they look for H., OC and other hard drugs mostly.

I to have had a pack opened and came with the green tape. The stealth was good enough for them to send it through after inspection. That package had me a little worried.
Customs could create a database, but for reasons a few of us have outlined the cost would not be within the budget for one, and all the other points would make the program an utter failure.

Some fast friends who work for UPS and used to work for USPS told me there are no flag records, or enough time for them to check records.
So it looks like "your address gets flagged" is another (busted) myth.
I want to add something from myself, I used to use my friends address for packages from India a long time ago, one of the packages was stopped he received a letter. Last year we went to Thailand he bought a few products from a local pharmacy, clen oxy etc., he was stopped in customs and the officials had in their notes informatio that a package going to his address was stopped and confiscated. The information about the address and confiscated packages stays in their system for a long time, because all of this happened within a 3 year period.

Now that's interesting. Could it have been possible that he was a serial offender with multiple seized packages?
i can't see anyone getting their panties in a bunch over a single seized package. Unless that single package led them to believe he was a potential large scale drug trafficker?
I don't think it would be all that difficultly to have a "flagging" database.
I could see them doing their random searches and when they find something, add that address to the database which wouldn't need to be any more than an excel spread sheet. I'm sure there are hand held "OCR" scanners. (Optical character recognition). just point at the address label on the package, it references the spread sheet gets a hit so they will open that package also.

Possibly, but there's no way they're scanning every package that comes through and it's easily fallible with a simple misspelling of the first or last name.
Unless customs were to hire a veritable army of human beings, the international drug trade will never dry up. At least not for that reason.
I think whats in our favor is the shear number of packages going through at any given time would not allow for every package to get "scanned".
so even flagged address will make it because they simply weren't scanned.
it seems two conditions would need to be meet. 1. the address needs to be flagged. 2. the package needs to actually be scanned. so the odds are in our favor it seems.

I had packages seized then got them reshipped to the same address and were successful. I’m not recommending to try it
