depends on where you live for starters, in some countries it's legal
The States
usually, if its illegal in your country it will be seized if your caught and a letter will be sent to you notifying you, do it to many times and they could build a case and maybe raid your place
Sounds to me like the customs officer forgot his snack at home, saw your oatmeal and smiled.
Just make sure you don't sign for any package. If you sign for it, the DEA will be in right after the postman leaves.
a bit off topic, but who orders oatmeal from overseas? you should have saved up for the domestic oatmeal lol
I order online all the time. Never had problem domestic or overseas (knock on wood). But ...Find a domestic supplier...you pay a little more but it is worth it as not as big of a chance to get searched/seized. Thatguyhim is 100% correct. NEVER sign for anything
it was liquid oatmeal. wierd i know but it tastes effin' good, and its good easy calories i can chug down
Sorry for the thread heist, but I was wondering too about ordering from a domestic source...maybe it's a dumb question, but do I use my real name and address, or should I use a fake name and po box? How does that work?
how about signing a fake name ?
po box or fake names doesnt matter. You need id to get a po box anyway. Also if you are caught you can face more charges. If they want you they are going to get you. Signing a fake name or putting return to sender on the pack and leaving it by the door doesnt matter.
I didn't say that. It certainly won't help if you sign for it. Sources will generally not send a package needing signature release. So right there you will know something is fishy. I wouldn't sign for it---but if you want to...go for it. Nobody is going to arrest you for a couple vials of juice anyway. LE has better things to do. Worst thing that will happen is that they take your gear and you are out $$$.
OK my bad then. I have used 6 different online sources and non of them required a signature
im a ny giants fan and as much as i hate the eagles, bigdog 99 is right... find a domestic source.. i will NEVER order internationally again.. maybee i just have bad luck but ive never gotten an international order through customs (only empty packages with green tape and seizure letters inside)..
