    customs

    sup everbody

    i got kinda pissed at my source and wanna order some juice online. i found a good site but i dont know if its legit. but anyway, im gonna give it a try.

    the thing is that im scared of customs because ive never ordered online.
    what would happen if i order my stuff from europe and customs get it? do i get in trouble or whats gonna happen. do i have to report to the police or get sued? i mean i have to pay with my credit card and it will be shipped my place. im just scared and wanna know the worst thing which could happen.

    I don't honestly know for sure, and it's never happened to me, but, from what I understand as long as it's not a tremendous amount (ie, they can bust you for "intent to sell") then it's not a big deal. They'll seize your package and send you a letter saying your package got seized and that's the end of it.

    But, again, I don't know for sure, so perhaps best to listen to someone who does.

    Nothing.

    Order is to small to be bothered with.

    They may send a letter, just disregard it.

    If the place takes credit cards, I would be leary of it as a source.

    WU, or green dot, ect....

    Best

    i understand. as far as i know, 99% of those sites take all credit cards. so what im suppose to do then?
    they also do western union and moneygram.

    getting ur juices from my guy and getting it from a site is a huge money difference.

    i mean, someday i have to give it a try or just freaking overpay(3 times) all the time.

    Well, this isn't a source site, but, I will tell you that if you do enough internet research, you can usually find out which ones are legit. Just spend a few hours running google searches and you can save yourself some trouble and money.

    I agree, never pay with a credit card. Don't leave a paper trail.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but if they use a 3rd party merchant account like alert pay the credit card idea seems a little more safe and legit.... I don't get my shit online so I dunno

    ^^^ yea but they will not waste taxpayers dollars busting you on such a little amount. It costs alot of money to do even little busts.

    thats a good question.

    but if u not home they leave u a notice to pick it up at the post office or something. so i dont think they would pop u at the post office. idk.

    i mean like T said. its a small order so they wouldnt care. i hope he is right.

    VERY bad idea. that type of defensive reaction could get you convicted and sent to prison, where otherwise you'd be alright.

    NEVER lie to the police. that's generally a felony crime in most jurisdictions in America. that's exactly how they imprisoned Martha Stewart (and she's likely got better lawyers and more money than you do... which is the mother's milk for rights and justice in the country). she was convicted of no other crime.

    the correct conduct, IMO, is to decline to answer any questions, other than giving your name, which they can shake you down for anyway. i'd return each question with a question, such as "who and what are you investigating? or why are you questioning me? or what sort of crime are you investigating?", etc. they will not generally answer your questions truthfully, so what does that tell you?

    by leaving a trail with a credit card, you are providing law enforcement with evidence. if you can't trust someone with cash/western union or other more anonymous form of payment, you may be dealing with the wrong person or otherwise making a mistake.

    repeat after me... this sounds very serious officer, i'd like to have my attorney look at your questions before i provide an answer. please send me a letter and i will be happy to take serious consideration for each question.

    and if they send you a letter, send it to your lawyer or ignore it.... never lie.

    by leaving a trail with a credit card, you are providing law enforcement with evidence. if you can't trust a someone with a cash/western union or other more anonymous form of payment, you may be dealing with the wrong person... how could you trust them to provide any substance you'd consider putting into your body... when you're looking for some misplaced protection from your bank or card provider?

    Any legit source will not take cc. WU way to go.

    All good. Had to sign of course, but of course I was the 3rd party)

    EU means Europe.

    WU means Western Union.

    To my knowledge, there are a few legit places out there that take credit card. But I would def agree it's best to go WU.
