Customs steals your shit...what do you do?

[Perseverance1]

So let's say you make a small order from your supplier...call it $200...but instead of getting your product in the mail you get the dreaded seizure letter. What do you do? Do you order from them again, orrrrr.....???

Personally no, u can keep trying your luck and take the risk, but u may eventually get a knock on your door.. Where do you live, you pay a bit extra locally but at least you recieve it.

[Honkey_Kong]

You look for a domestic source (there are tons of them) and that way you don't have to worry about having seized product.

Right now though, you might want to email your source and ask him if he'll resend you it. Send him a copy of the seizure letter.

USA...west coast. I don't know any suppliers unfortunately.

^^ What west said, although i know people who only shop internationally here in oz and get tons of seizures letters on a weekly basis and still have not gotten one knock at the door yet. Obviously there losing money everytime with the letters, but with the amount of orders there making, what they can do with 1 order we would have to make 3 orders locally with the amount of gear they get.

It truly is a hit or miss. Stay local, stay smart.

After a while I'd go broke trying to cover all the seizures you guys get.

It was hard enough to find a legit source at all...how did you go about getting a local one? Do you live in the USA or?

I live in the USA currently. And before this conversation breaks the rules, I'll tell you flat out I'm not going to give you a source (not that you were asking for one, just saying). You have to find those on your own. Your best bet is to hit up the biggest guy at your gym and hope he hooks you up with a good source. Or you could do some online research. Once you know how to look, sources become relatively easy to find. Whether they're good sources or scams is another question. But a little paranoia and investigation should help you make a more definite decision on that. Plus some people might be able to do source checks for you to help give you an idea if you're going to get scammed or not.

Yeah I've found domestic sources (just now) but damn they are a lot more expensive. I'm talking like 40% more than I'm paying internationally which is a lot when you typically spend well over $1000 at a time.

I'll keep on keepin' on though...I guess it's worth the price when you actually get the order lol.

Turn in your seizure letter and have them resend

I find that you'll find the best deals on gear when you're not really in the market for buying gear. I really don't think we should be discussing prices though, but the shipping is usually less with domestic purchases.

If you do decide to shop internationally though, consider breaking your order in to smaller ones. That way a single seizure isn't going to break the bank that bad.

edited per request.

My last good sized order came in 3 shipments. 1 got seized...but the one with 8000-12000mg test/tren/mast each didn't woohoo!!!

I think I took out whatever you wanted removed lol.

But yeah, when you find a good domestic source, send it to some willing vets here and ask them for their opinions. I like to sit on the side of caution about where I buy gear from. The more opinions you get the less the odds of getting fvcked over are.

Stop this thread, honkey you know better....
