    orders seized

    Has anybody been having bad luck getting their gear? I order from a source in latin america, and the last two orders has been seized by customs. It really sucks and i want to get back on and its been like 2.5 months now i have been waiting. Do you think that my addy is a red flag to customs? Im gonna use a different addy this next time.

    Bad source, bad packaging. That is a terrible ratio. I use euro sources that know how to package..... Don't PM me on sources either, I will not respond.

    Same deal. Dealers that know what they are doing or domestic sources are best. Yes, once you get a seized package your address can be flagged raising the probability of future seizures.

    That is true, especially coming from the same country.

    yea thats what i thought. He does a discreet package though, he usually puts them into toy trucks and cars, and seals the toy back up into its orginal package and sends it as a gift. Are domestic sources prices ok? I have only tried thailand, latin american and greek sources.

    Your orders are getting seized multiple times and your worried about ordering more? Has it passed through your mind that you may have bigger problems than missing gear soon? No offense bro but I hope your smart enough to not use your home address.
