    If a package gets seized don't they just send you a letter? Don't think they would rip the package open take the contents and send you whats left of the package lol. If the place you got it from doesn't have a reshipping policy then you might have been duped man.

    LOL...maybe someone at Customs jacked your gear and put that sticker on and sent it on its way, maybe to avoid the paper work as if he had actually seized the package?

    It's not a sticker, it was inside. Looking for experienced answers not speculation.

    pretty much this

    is you have no official customs tape on it

    it means on of two things

    1- your shipper sent you the package like that
    check now if they no reship policy then this will reassure this point

    2- customs guy snagged it

    customs will send you out an official letter separate not some black and white pos warning

    number 1 been more probable as if a customs guy snatched it he wouldn't bother to even send you on the package

    ive had stuff seized and they sent me the original package with the green tape and about 5 pages of a seizure letter right inside the package... my seizure letters didnt look like that? if they do reship, good luck.. just understand that the same thing could (and probably will happen again)... thats just speaking from my experience... ordering international is pretty risky imo.. good luck

    I think you have been scammed, but you wont know until you receive a letter if in fact the customs have changed their procedures. I have had a formal letter sent to me before and it states the product description and the reason for confiscation .. but it also says if it is in error and if you have a valid prescription call to claim it

    Would I get a certified letter later? Weird how there is now "green tape", a generic note on the inside, and no "official letter".

    not trying to beat a dead horse but i definately think the green tape would have been on it and again my seizure letter looked nothing like that... that thing looks pretty generic imo... does your company reship?

    You take a gamble everytime you mail order, it goes with the territory. You win some , you loose some. This time it was a loss, next time it may get through?????? Who knows????????

    damn man.. sorry to hear that.. not sure id take that chance again.. i would order domestic next time.. obviously we cant discuss sources here but theres some domestic ones out there.. maybee we both have bad luck cuz of the state we r in... im in ohio too.. my international company reships for free and quite frankly ive chalked it up as a loss.. everytime that stupid box would show up with the green tape on it.. i dont think they could get a tylenol pill through customs

    Scam IMO. I've had multiple packages seized and always green tape along with letter and a few other pages of info. This does not look correct.

    This is not what customs do. if you got a tracking there maybe a way to check the weight of the parcel with a phone call or on the net.

    It was tracked and he claims the package had weight at the time of shipment. If anything, I was thinking it was his sender. We have been emailing until I told him how I really feel.

    I got one recently the same way, green customs tape on it with letter inside. I also had a letter mailed to me a week or so latter.

    This doesn't look right.

    There are many legit guys online its just a shame these idiots have to scam people, In the long run repeat customers make more money than scamming a guy once... There actually doing themselfs out of more money.

    Yup agreed. By burning this guy they get no return business from him and no business from anyone who he would tell about them . Word of mouth = $$$.

    I ordered from my source for the first time five months ago. They sent me quality stuff, great customer service and all around good prices. Since my first order I have ordered two additional times already. And as long as they keep up the quality they have a lifetime customer with me.

    Btw don't ask me for my source. Not happening
