    Red flagging?

    So about 2 years ago, i had a package sent to me from overseas, to an address that i no longer inhabit. The substance was controlled, however had nothing to do with AAS. I recieved a letter from customs and border patrol saying that it was seized, followed by a bunch of other bullshit and another peice of paper showing a venomous snake wrapped around a RX pill container with some outrages statement about how i would die if i took medicine bought overseas , a perfect shining example of propaganda.

    Anyway (sorry to go off), i am wondering if anyone knows the protocols used to track such things? This so called "redflagging," does it exist? Are things likle this tracked by name, address, or both? Will it be safe for me to attempt to ship in future items? Someone please enlighten me. I have no criminal record whatsoever.

    they just put in those letters that "your address is red flagged" as a deterant. At this point every address in the country is red flagged. Because it was a few years ago and a different address I wouldn't worry about it. If I got a letter this year to this address, I wouldn't chance it.

    red flagging is BS. Do you think custom's cross references the millions of letters that come into the country each day against a "list". It would take months to receive anything

    I wouldn't mess around with an address that has already had mail seized at it. It is a bit too crazy out there right now to chance it IMO. Get a po box, go to a trusted frien and have it sent there.

    Odds are that you have a 99% chance of nothing happening, but there is still that 1% that tells me that a few bottles of gear isn't worth getting busted on some level by LE.

    He no longer lives at the address in question so why would a po box be an advantage? The po box will still bear his name. A trusted friend? I wouldn't do that to a friend unless they were in on the order.

    Use a fake name that you will remember and watch for the mail man. If you don't know your mail man or they use different ones, just look puzzled when the package comes but look around. strange cars with people in them, mailman not in uniform or if they are real anxious for you to take the package then its a setup. You can get the feeling. A mailman doesn't really want to stand at your door very long knocking. A cop will, Just think.
    I waited for my mailman to get back in his truck and went to the truck parked up the street and signed for it.
    Hope this gives you some ideas

    good think'n man. fake names work fine too, tried it, so long as the address is correct. What if you arent around and it goes back to the post office, how would you go about getting it then?

    its gone for good then, send it to you with your name on it, example if i was to send crack to my neighbor is he gonna go to jail? no until they found out how he paid for it!!!!!!!! you ever seen the show "cops" the narcs selling crack? they dont put the stuff on the sidewalk and whoever picks it up is arrested, they have to catch you in the act buying it, so dont worry, imo
