In the de minimus fight, they've been saying for a year if the stuff in the package doesn't match what's on the customs declaration (which is provided by whoever is handing over the package to the shipping company) they'll simply start imposing the fines the law allows.

Since we know "AAS" isn't on the paperwork, it could just be:

Open pack: "This isn't mango oil" $10,000
Open pack: "This isn't vitamin C" $10,000

I think the max they can fine for one container is $380,000.

That gives the shipping company a really powerful incentive to know who they're accepting packages from.

An effective strategy,

But De Minimus revamp isn't law yet.

And, there's only a week left for Biden to sign any legislation... IF it gets passed.

Knowing Big Donny's M.O. He'll likely take a crap on it, since he likes tearing up things the previous admin. was working on. De Minimus is all over Biden's "White House" page. Likely, the revamp is hitting the trash can Jan. 21.

 

[Grey Spartan]

Makes no sense. And now I’m almost certainly on some list now. Gonna have to tread very lightly with future orders…

Also the fact that QSC kept meticulous records, to the point if you tried changing the address from a previously used address they would sent to the previously used address.

No, everyone's on board with de minimus being changed. There's no disagreement.

Biden signed an executive order in September that tightened enforcement of existing laws regarding de minimus, but there was a delay because of a required comment period. This may be the result of that.

As far as "tearing things up", hopefully he finds a way to tear up the last minute executive order "gift" that have sent oil prices skyrocketing on the way out, since gas will likely jump by $1 a gallon in a week or so.

Part of me hopes they are trashing those records while the other part knows that is the only way my outstanding orders will be made right.

You referring to sanctions on Russia's shadow tanker fleet? In the long run it will lead to lower prices. Russia is allowed to export below $60/barrel. This fleet was used to sell for more than was allowed

I doubt protecting customer data is a priority for QSC, On the other hand, I doubt the Chinese have any reason to hand that over to the US,

They'd just add it to the intelligence files they keep on Americans for potential use later.

 

[DECLAN]

BTW leave it sealed, no need for a vent pin or anything like that. The vial and all of its contents are fine at that temp. Nothing will get damaged.

Interesting, I guess

After congress received a spate of mail threats, BILLIONS were allocated to scan every piece of mail going through the system and, of course, more and more use of that data has been made by the government.

The moment one signs up for Informed delivery, the scans of incoming mail appear immediately.

What you can see in court records is that, when an investigation is launched, for dealers of illicit goods in particular, they can go back years, make connections between senders and recipients, look for other addresses in a certain radius that may be used by the target to avoid detection, pull up related video surveillance from P.o. boxes. The capability is unbelievable.

I concluded the only way to stay out of trouble is not to do anything that seems to grab their attention, like selling or getting involved in serious drugs.

Luckily, for now at least, AAS and sched 4 end users aren't a priority. They don't want to expend limited resources on a case most likely to end up being dismissed with a slap on the wrist like drug treatment or a brief period of probation.

Scanning and scrutinizing mail applies only with international mail here in Canada, hence the mail system deliverers illegal drugs, exploding bombs and even chopped up body parts to the parliament.

It’s the main reason why domestic is deemed safer.

Does the US border police or whatever entity checks for contrabands there also scan domestic mail for drugs, guns and other illegal items?

 

[glpfun]

One factory left. So if QSC resumes operations he and all the other vendors will have the same raws. ATM prices are sky high

Is this a recent development? How many existed around October?

Go look at what's occurred to oil futures.

Since when does the left want Americans to have cheaper access to "filthy, carbon spewing, fossil fuel", or lower oil prices, and therefore inflation, for the incoming administration. Nothing more effectively lowers demand than higher prices, and that's especially useful when you can make it happen on the watch of your enemies.

Come on, don't be naive.

 

[DECLAN]

Fucking customs stole a vial of my MENT
There were 70 vials of test C they could have taken, but no, gotta take the most expensive one

I know it’s only like $20, but still frustrating. And no, I’m not expecting a replacement. Just venting over how poorly this shipping experience went (not Tracy’s fault)

View attachment 311961

Imagine your grief if they sent you one and took the rest instead, be grateful it’s not that jacked agent who opened your package lol.

 

[egruberman]

Could be the reason I recently received a few "hello $NAME at $ADDRESS, we pwned your computer and used the camera to record you masturbating to porn. Send us $2k in BTC or else!"

As if the world discovering that I masturbate would be ground breaking.

Yes. They use those images to get a warrant to open it. Obviously international packages don't need a warrant to be opened.

How well are packages examined?

The U.S. Postal Service handles around 500 million pieces of mail every day. UPS and FedEx deliver 34 million packages combined.

[Graff]

Did anyone order US domestic recently ? I've got some raws and trying to decrypt the SKUs since I can't ask Tracy.

The SKUs seems like they are made up of letters of the containing compound, but I can't be sure, so I'd appreciate some help.

F9997TD - Tadalafil ?
CC002T2 - Test C ?

I have ordered some raws from the international warehouse, and among them tadalafil, and look at the SKUs.
Seems like a joke, anyone else in this situation?

He's not going to ease up on Deminimis if that's the hope, lol. Old Joe didn't even ease up on any of Don's china sanctions, so they're basically his rules.

I figured they might be doing it for themselves. Ultimately it doesn’t matter because I agree there is not much they can do with it.

US just took significant tanker capacity out of business - the capacity which was used to sell oil above $60. Short term this will impact the prices. Long term Russia will be forced to sell at higher discount, driving global prices down. Russia claims they will just not sell, but they have to fund their economy somehow - it is on it's last legs with runaway inflation. They are airing ideas to freeze bank deposits in Russia because they cannot control inflation with rates anymore. So they will sell no matter what they say. Remember, the whole $60 thing was agreed upon by all western governments, so it's not related to change of administrations. EU was already sanctioning this fleet, US is late to the game.

 

[LightWeight89]

Gotta say, it's one thing for customs to let something slip through...but all these packs...it's weird.

Yeah had a buddies sliced open not really dug through but it was oils but it had tren hex label looking strait up through the cut spot fyi it was ace not hex but still had a nice golden color anyone should have known. Odd thing was it was packaged how their domestic oils are sent not international no stealth at all. It does seem like any powders "raws peptides" are not getting stopped more then oils and that makes sense to me if they are doing more thorough inspection of powders if they are more concerned for finding precursors. Just my thoughts.

Shit man, that’s just invasive, now it’s not just the mailman knowing you have huge dildos coming, but all the people looking at the scanner screen lol.

My understanding is that if they can't move the oil, the pipelines and such shut down and they lack the ability (expertise) to re-start them.

 

[mok4315]

I think they did before going dark. My last order of oils from late December arrived with the new shipper. Never touched USPS, Chinese forwarder and Chinese last mile in the US. I kind of liked it.

I think you might be right. I also ordered in December and pack was delivered with Uniuni 2 weeks later without issue. This was slightly after everyone’s packs were held up in customs, probably the same packs that are now being released inspected.
