    Customs??

    I ordered some stuff through the mail about a year ago and got the product in the mail. I reordered from the same place and never got it. They said they sent it but I have not gotten a letter from customs either. It has been about 8 or 9 weeks now. I was just curious if customs did get it and I decided to order from a different place, what would happen if customs seized that package too? Do they go by the address or what? Does anyone know?

    Sometimes customs will send the letter, sometimes they won't. I would not stress over changing your address and what not,,unless you ordered a million tabs

    well the problem is that i dont have a second address that i can send it to so if i tried to send it to my same address and they get it again are they gonna try to do some legal stuff or just seize it again and send a letter or just let it go.

    When you say P.O Box. Elaborate please mate. Is that from a 'false name so it doesnt trace back to you' perspective or a 'generally speaking P.O Boxes are more successful' perspective.

    customs doesn't send a letter a lot of times

    sometimes what they do is just confiscate the parcel and its goods, and record the individual who ordered it

    a lot of times they'll also keep a tab on you after that, so if you order something else they can prosecute you

    id be careful if i was you from now on

    Sometimes the source may be a 'selective scammer' as well. If your source is reliable then I would guess foul mail handlers. There are many possibilities out there. I would try another source as well. Once you start getting customs slips then it may be time to cut your losses and go local

    I had a guy come to my door stating he was a customs agent and demanding a cavity search . His name was Rulh.


    .....he didn't find anything.

    your best bet is to google the source your using and read the reviews if their is any..if not find another source because i have a feeling you may be dealing with a selective scammer..most reputable sources would re-ship after a certain period of time you have not received and a reputable source would should with delivery confirmation atleast so the source can have proof if you ever got it or not..

    it could take longer then that to receive a letter also. I had a pack turn un almost 3 months later. It must have gotten lost. I got the package my guy recent before the original.

    I wouldn't stress but like someone said go rent a box for like $15, also u need to show id so it will b in your name
