Do people really order from high-risk countries?

[plisk]

I guess I actually know the answer to this, but I'm shocked at how common it is.

If I'm correct, a lot of the big dogs of the source game directly ship from their home countries - almost all of which are considered high risk by various countries customs because of the corruption in the country and the lack of measures to prevent pharmaceutical goods being sold without prescription.

Moldova being the prime example. But Thailand is another one which boggles my mind - being considered the major transit point of the golden triangle, I dont know what the relationship is in the US, but in Australia small packages from Thailand are treated with major scrutiny. None the less many australians do try to order steroids from thailand (no idea why, its not even cheaper anymore!) and get a nice little love letter from customs telling them to wind their neck in.

Granted anything can get into anywhere through luck of sheer mail volume, but I'm surprised that groups like naps and what not can produce in a country KNOWN for being the base of operations for major steroid trafficking, and still successfully meet customer demands. Surely customs in receiving countries would be flagging small packages from moldova like crazy, especially since its not part of the EU.

Yup?

I'm not sure the point of this post. Raise awareness? Bitch? Discouraging people from buying from these countries in hopes somone will notice the trend and start a lab in a lower risk country? Are you starting a "lab" in a non high risk country? Looking for one? I don't disagree with what has been said necessarily, just think this is a strange thread for the underground and that it achieves nothing.

Im just curious. Ive been out of steroids for a bit but the general consensus that was developing on most boards was that international was not worth the risk, and sticking to domestic was the way to go

yet naps still seems be probably the largest source of finished products in the world as far as I can tell (naps figureheads here, I'm not having a go or "warning" people off) and many people still order internationally, even from EU to US for example

that being the case, clearly the image that various customs forces project is one far beyond their actual abilities.

also wouldve this been better suited for a different subforum? My apologies if thats the case

Define risk countries
while extremely corrupt, moldova or thailand aren't rogue countries like North Korea, Iran, Syria

Customs look for 2 things
1 Terror related stuff: Nuclear, biological or chemical weapons or explosives.
2 Hard recreational drugs
3 General smuggling (including steroids)
so you see gear is a RELATIVELY low priority for customs.

Vials themselves are a red flag for customs, especially in Australia.
Packages coming from Moldova make it worse
IMO it won't take long for stealth injectables (not in glass vials) to make a comeback, especially for Australia.

Most likely your vials contain smelly cheesy brinza farts on the open vials instead
