Gs anyone actually gotten busted with shipments to their house?

Curious if anyone here has any experience. I can’t imagine LE going after someone ordering 500-1000 bucks worth of shit online. I see so many people worried about it and what not.
 
Well, there's been some members here that have gotten visits from Postal Inspectors regarding packs shipped that had a suspicious return address.

Oh like they shipped something and it was a conspicuous return address?

How would they get a visit if they used a different return address?
 
Customs has stepped up their game and I’ve had countless shipments seized. Mostly other drugs/chemicals but also anabolics to. As long as it’s not a schedule 1 or not in large amounts you’ll just get a letter in the mail.
 
Yea whatever ever happened to our buddy masterofron or whatever . I bet he got paranoid and changed handle
Yeah that was him and I believe at least one other member. Noticed he hasn’t been around in ages and bet he stopped posting here soon after that visit.

i'm sure they would take a slam dunk case if it fell into their laps, but i think *most* domestic sources are careful enough to make sure their packages look like any other random package that rides down the conveyer belt.

Yes I’ve mentioned it before , and probably giving away to much info but I’ve been with UPS some years worked inside on the belt and a driver , it’s real relaxed, never seen a issue go down , Ihave smelt pot from time to time but no one’s yelling ( hey guys I got pot!) we just keep grinding , real fast pace, barely time to even check your phone . We’re getting it in there hoping another treadmill doesn’t come down the belt . Then half the part timers go smoke their pot on belt . Take that for what it’s worth

Considering how many pot cases are made by USPS catching shipments, I would say your experience is not typical at all. BUT, with that having been said, the USPS has a five year old program for suspected marijuana. They are grabbing the box and sending a letter asking for permission to open it. If they get no response, they consider it abandoned and open it.

They do not use the evidence for criminal prosecution purposes, according to a USPS policy. I have not read the policy and do not know if that includes a prohibition on sharing the information with local law enforcement, but since they do not use a warrant they probably do not. Almost 60,000 boxes were seized from the mail in 2019 alone.

Then they mail all of these somewhere - I read a news article recently saying more than 200 of these shipments disappeared, presumed stolen by USPS personnel who know what they contain.

This is just for marijuana and mostly when somebody smells it through the box.

The Bumstead thread talks about it and shares some other stories. There are others who have been caught and prosecuted with personal amounts whose stories were not shared there. Another poster talked about his decade old experience within the last month. If I recall correctly, he got a felony conviction. While you can't imagine it, that does not mean it does not happen. It does. It absolutely does. Why do you think safety is stressed so heavily here?

If arrest and prosecution was unimaginable, we would all just do business out in the open.

That is pretty much the case for nonscheduled drugs ordered from overseas. If you order thyroid or blood pressure med or something like that from overseas, so long as it is a 90 day supply or less, it is the official policy of the last few administrations to let that box through, marked "personal medication" right on the box. Technically illegal, but nobody getting prosecuted so grandma has an alternative source for her meds.

But steroids are a Schedule III drug since 1990. In many states, mere possession of any amount (one anavar pill) is a felony. Don't kid yourself into thinking some drug warriors are not going to make a case if you drop it in their lap on a silver platter. And they will sleep easy at night thinking they actually helped you and did a good deed.
 
Any idea what that visit entails? I’m curious.
Depends on a lot of things, but if you live in a state that takes drugs seriously, it entails an arrest and a thorough search of your entire home and a trip to jail until you can get before a judge for a bond setting and then arrange to get bonded out. Then a felony prosecution on down the road.

Yes I understand , I don’t know how different usps is from ups , I’m assuming the initial catch point is when the dealer drops it off at the ups store or drop box, because once it’s on the feeder truck ( 18 wheeler) they deliver it and back it up to the hub and all boxes are unloaded and then handles by part time employees and then goes in the truck , and no drivers or part time employees are really worried other then finishing their job and going home . Again just talking from what I’ve seen in my career . Thanks for sharing your info though .
 
DOH! :oops: I thought you said you worked for USPS, LOL! :D Sorry for the confusion.
Yea again my story is prob irrelevant bc most don’t use ups , and we are dealing with a lot more volume , each man loads about 1000 packages between 3 trucks a night , I’m sure postal service is different
 
Feds (USA) actually executed a search warrant on my house (more than a decade ago now) for non-steroid related items (they didn't find any because there was no basis to find anything in the first place...) but they did find my steroids and they found a small vial of what they assumed was marijuana seeds.

Steroids found:
Roughly 15 vials of finished oils (Test, Tren, and Mast), some AI's without a script.

Of those 2 finds (the roids and the suspected seeds) which do you think they cared about?

If you picked the steroids you are incorrect. They couldn't have given the smallest of fucks about those. The agent in charge literally told the searcher "No one gives a fuck." when they found the steroids.

They damn near shit themselves in excitement when they found the vial of seeds though. I believe they assumed I was a supplier for growers or something?

Imagine their disappointment when they ran field test after field test only to find out: The vial was a vial of catnip for my cats.

They left after. No charges filed, nothing done about the steroids, they literally left the steroids with me.


Make of that what you will.
