    UPS curiousity?

    I realized that in the past couple of months I've had several packages delivered to my home. All of course related to gear, and all sent by UPS. I will have another on the way soon. Does anyone think this will arise any red flags from the UPS delivery guy. They are all about the same size and I'm sure he probably is thinking, what are all these small packages this guy is getting all the time. Think I would have anything to worry about?

    ditto the other responses. unless something incriminating is hanging or leaking out it is just another delivery for us.

    Inless you have something broken, and had to be opened.. or you have people around you running their mouths about what your doing then you might need to be worried... i only order for myself, and i already have flags on my name SOME HOW ???? but just be careful, but like they said there are many people with home buisness's that tons of packages a day.... just be cautious ... good luck\

    BTW i highly doubt someone will mess with you inless they have reason to believe your distributing .. then its on like donkey kong

    I agree with bigmax im usually doing WU and i try to alternate between spots of ordering, but like i said nothing will happen inless it gets seized and all you do then is dont respond to the letter.... but word of advice keep everything you get for urself... i woudlnt help friends out or nothing.keep everything to yourself.. just my opinion.... but your good to go

    selling roids is NOT worth the time if you get cought. Just take care of yourself and keep your orders small.And by the way ups likes you to get lots of packages, thats how they make money, there in the package delivery biz.

    They can't open w/o a warrant, ONLY if you ship priority. Regular mail they can open whenever..

    When I was running an ebay store, I'd get up to 2 packages shipped to me per day. The fedex guy was always the same, and eventually asked me what kind of buisness I run since I always have stuff being shipped to me. I showed him the movies that I was ordering and selling online. They are usually in a hurry and don't care, but if they do ask... don't worry about it.

    I get packages from UPS all the time. Protein powder..supps and the like. I would say not to worry about it.

    Correct,Im tight with my UPS
    driver,and this subject has come
    up from time to time with him.
    As for frequent deliveries,they
    can care less.They just want their
    day to end as soon as possible.

    Better off getting USPS if u can.
    Can see why thats not an option..

    just my 2cc's worth

    unless the package is "damaged" and or a wet or powdery substance is noticed on the exterior..

    then they open it and send a letter..

    good luck though..
