    Customs/U.S.

    I keep reading the horror stories of Australia. What about the U.S.? Are they pretty tight? Is shipping from some countries tougher to get in then others? Any and all input is greaty appreciated.

    They can't sit there and scan every single package so they do one main thing:
    Profiling- If they see a box that looks exactly like a box that had illegal drugs in it with the same logos and stuff. They'll look at that.

    Most oversees companies probably have the smarts to ship very discretely though. I wouldn't know never done it

    Domestic source is DEFINITELY the way to go bro. I got my customs letter about 2 years ago to the day almost on my very first order from overseas. Luckily met a domestic guy since and havent had any issues.
