    Shipping, Customs et al

    Ok, I am wondering what is going on here... Her is my issue..

    6 weeks ago, i had 2 packages sent to me, both with sachets (only)
    2 weeks ago i had 1 package sent to me with sachets (only)
    also
    2 weeks ago I had some HCg (6 amps in total) sent to me
    and
    2 weeks ago I had 6 vials of test prop sent to me....

    ALL OVER seas to US

    I have since only received the HCG and the test vials.. but the sachets are no where to be seen..
    I find it very strange that vials get through to me but my 3 packages of sachets didnt... AND if my address is flagged by customs.. how the hell did i get the HCG and vials!

    anythoughts?

    Prop was from a different location

    That's strange, I would think 6 weeks out if they had been seized you would have gotten a seizure letter by now. That sucks man, good luck.

    fortunately I've never gotten the dreaded letter, but I've heard of people getting it within a month. I'm sure others who know more than me could narrow it down a bit though.

    customs red flagging an Addy is a myth.

    Think about it customs would have to process every package that comes in against some data base. There are only so many customs entry points in the country. It would be impossible it would takes months to receive something.

    Flagging an addy would have to be done at a local level.

    FYI. I have friends who work customs at JFK

    Also as far as what you receive. Sachets as a form of security is bs. It all depends on the source. I'll taker my eurosource with amps over the source that ships sachets any day.

    Ok that is good to know..
    I sorta figured.. I know they have machines that can scan addresses and stuff, but that is really only done for zip codes etc to route it to the local post office..
    I guess it is just a coincidence that just the sachets have not come...

    That's something that should be posted on the open board

    There are many sources that ship and have very low seizure rates. Its been years since i have gotten a letter. It all depends on the source. Sachets are trying to make up for shitty shipping methods

    I understand that sh**ty shipping can account for things getting grabbed..
    but when the same source sends me amps (HCG ) and they make it through, i think those would be more "obvious" then sachets....

    Depending on how big their operation is. /They may have different shippers for sachets and other things.

    What happens to the gear that your friends find at customs? Sounds like an inexpensive way to score some quaility gear.

    Though I am new, it seems to with all of country orders I have made thus far (10) it is crap shoot on whether you recieve your shippment. My average is about 90%arrived on time. I am sure just like any other illegal drug being shipped into the country the powers that be are going to catch a few but a majority will make it through undetected.

    My customs letter came on the exact day my shippment was to arrive (day 14). You may have been scammed if it has been as long as you say.

    I'm wondering the same thing. I'm picturing one of those things the bingo balls bounce around in, and an order number on each ball...

    Maybe i Dont know what I am talking about.. but you'd think if it was legit.. they would fill all their orders.. you would think they would make more money from return customers then from selective scamming.....

    to be honest I've never ever heard the term "selective scamming" until today, in 2 different posts. I'm wondering how many times packages get picked up by customs or whoever and the letter never makes it, and suddenly the place is labeled a scammer. Just my opinion.

    maybe they have machines that can read addresses off mail as it comes down a conveyor belt, why would it be impossible or take months?

    Customs by their own admission only checks a small percentage of stuff coming into the US.
