"Love letters" and controlled deliveries based on schedule of drug

I see many conflicting reports with people getting love letters while other's get a controlled delivery for the same schedule/amount. I'm getting the impression customs generally ignores schedule 5 drugs, and as you go up in schedule so does the likelihood of you getting busted, especially with large quantities. Would the same be true of USPS?

I tried to find some statistics on seizures/controlled deliveries based on schedule but I couldn't find anything. Thoughts?

It's probably a long list of criteria and to some extent, subjective. For instance, a politician ordering a personal quantity of xanax might just make the DAs day to prosecute, or someone with significant assets to seize.

OTOH a church pastor and pillar of the community may get a love letter for that xanax pack, but no question a CD for 100grams of fent.

Those are two extremes, and there are likely dozens of factors at play in determining CD vs. LL. If your strategy to avoid a CD comes down to manipulating pack size, you probably want to rethink your operation. If you're unlucky enough to have a pack seized, what you have been doing in the weeks (or months or years) leading up to that seizure is going to matter much more than the contents of the pack (with the exception of course, of Kilos of shit.

I would assume it has nothing to do with schedule. Rather how hard up for arrests the agency is in that particular location.

I agree I don't think schedule really matters when it comes to a CD. It's all about the amount inside the pack. That's why there are countless threads stating if you are ordering for personal use, more than likely as long as your vendor had good stealth and is shipping domestic to avoid customs, you're safe. The DEA or whoever will not waste the time to track down and arrest someone for a gram of Molly or 10 tabs, and a couple bars. They are not looking for users. They are looking for people ordering k packs of bars who more than likely are distributing. Xanax is a schedule 3 drug however, if I order a thousand or them to my place and they get found out, of course I'm probably gonna get a cd. Compared to if I order a zip of green, I may get off with a letter. It's all about how easy the agency involved thinks it will be to arrest you and if they can get more than just a few grams on you. They want it time players here not users.

I don't think it would be. So I live in an illegal state and a buddy of mine I worked with came into work one day all stressed out but more pissed. I asked what's wrong and he said he had a pack held st usps and got a letter. He never told me the exact weight of the pack but from what I know about him and how much Wright he was pushing it was atleast a pound. And this is an illegal state. All he got was a letter and that was the end of it. It's been over a year since then and he still is free as a bird with no repercussions besides taking his L and losing almost 2gs

Imagine yourself as the chief of police in your city, some asshole orders an eighth of weed to their home. You could do a CD, but you aren't retarded and you know that it's not worth the resources to take down some guy who just wants to gets stoned. Now another scenario, another asshole's package gets seized but this time it has 100g of MDMA. Anybody with a brain knows what someone with that much weight is planning to do. So to get all those drugs off the street, you conduct a CD. It really just depends on the weight of the drugs and if they think it's worth it. Even if you don't order that much weight, they still might send some LE to your house and question you.

I would be hesitant to draw any conclusions based on weight or scheduling. Proceed as if a CD is possible for any of it.


[2 Points] None:

All the users who have gotten CDs or LLs should mention the substance and the amount, and then cross reference which falls for which.

Because customs doesn't take a look at it. USPS does scan packs when they're shipping out but it isn't as rigorous as when customs does. They are looking for harmful things entering the country and so look more cautiously. That is why international shipments are so risky because they are looking more aggressively.

Customs can check anything they want. Open anything. Test it. Hold it. Whatever they want.

It is ILLEGAL for the USPS to unduly delay the delivery of mail and it ILLEGAL for USPS to open your mail without a search warrant (unless it's send Media Mail or some other lowly class).

The foreign mail agency hands the mail to US Customs off a plane or cargo ship. Then customs looks through some of it. Then they had it over to the USPS.
