I've gotta tell you, all the things you're talking about have been discussed here on meso an unknown number of times. The answers are all here.
I honestly don't know how easy it is to find the answers to your questions using the search function. I can tell you that if you were to go back in time and read my posts I've gone over this subject. I've got some real life experience in the area. You're a little late with bringing this to the board but let me see if I can go over your questions without making one of my long winded and seemingly never ending rants that do little more than act as a lullaby to the masses...
Upon receiving your first "Love Letter" from our over reaching Dept of US Customs you should've written off the address the pkg was sent to and if you didn't have a back up address ready to roll that was the time to figure out where you were going to have your reship sent to.
Now, if you didn't know that the address you used the first time was burnt, your source should've made it clear to you when you gave them the same address to have your reshipment sent.
The source should insist on a fresh address to send to. Again. That address is burnt. Do not have contraband from outside our country sent there again. The address is on the radar of US Customs. If you are going to demand proof I'm going to ask that you put it out to the board. I'm not trying to convince you of anything nor am I here to joust with you and match wits. I don't answer posts to bullshit members or to try and come off as an expert. I'm no smarter than your average member, I've just been doing the things we discuss on meso longer than most. I've made more than my share of mistakes. I remember where I was when Operation Gear Grinder went down. I was in San Ysidro with 2 members of the original Drugbuyers board looking for a Senor Garza who was one of the men that operated mexrxonline and its sister sites. There's a long sordid story that goes along with that trip.
I was a casualty of ORD. I was sourcing Serostim on the now defunct anonymousbodybuilding.co*. The gov't took over the site for a time and a customer of mine turned out to be the confidential informant in my case. I served a 60 month federal prison term behind that indictment. I couldn't get away from the mandatory minimum sentence unless I was willing to cooperate with the gov't and ruin another human being's life in order to receive a downward departure from the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. My fate was sealed. I was going to do time. I wasn't duped or tricked into doing the things I was doing. I was well aware of the possible consequences to my actions and looking back(i did my share of soul searching back then) there isn't anything i would've done differently. I wasn't reckless and didn't take unnecessary risks. Some guys get caught and some don't.
That doesn't mean I didn't and still don't lack a certain amount of rage towards my informant who decided to work with the gov't to destroy the lives of another after being caught doing things he decided to do of his own free will. Because I hate him. I know exactly who he is. He isn't a member of the Community any longer. He knows I have a presence in this Community and wouldn't hesitate to call him out and embarrass him. Will I ever set things right with him? I don't know? It's gotten easier as time goes by because I'm done with the hardships incurred because of him. I'm getting closer to the day we meet again. That's how I got through the tough nights laying there a thousand miles from my wife and kids. Knowing my now ex wife sold her ass to put food on the table kept me up plenty of times. I burned out on adrenaline. I recognize the taste in mouth whenever I get on a roll like I am now. I tell myself I'll get him later on. I'm busy getting back some of the things I lost at the moment. There I go on that rant I said I wasn't going to go on. My bad, i apologize.
I have to say I was a bit surprised when I read that your source reshipped the same order 3 times. Is that correct? Its usually a one reship policy that Int sources employ?
Am I interpreting things correctly that the 3 reships went to the original address you gave them? That's unheard of.
The person you spoke to is correct about there being some countries that are red flagged by our Customs Dept. China is the getting the headlines these days. The fentanyl and its analogues that are responsible for all the over doses that we read about come from China. Before fent it was the research chems known to the public as "Bath Salts" were coming from China.
Another country that stays red flagged is our Neighbor to the South; Mexico. Most of the tar heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana come from Mexico. It was ketamine that birthed it and Mexican Vet Gear that gave the name to and was responsible for Gear Grinder.
Thailand was red flagged for a time and may or may not have been successful? Thanks for hanging in to those of you that made it through this mess.
