Is it ok to ship Fedex for domestic orders?

I found something i would like to order and the vendor has stellar feedback, but his only shipping option is Fedex for $30. I was always under the impression that we should only use USPS in the US. Is it ok to order some pills from this guy or should I find another vendor?

Stick to USPS man. You gotta practice good habits all the time.

No it is not ok. Find another vendor. Using any shipping except USPS is a red flag. UPS Fedex etc can open any suspicious package without a warrant.

That said pills are relatively hard to detect and easy to conceal so it is possible that his package will make it through fine. It does remain a gaping hole in operational security so I would not use this vendor.

USPS needs a warrant to open a package they deem suspicious, FedEx does not. That difference is supposed to improve your security, but may be specious.

couple years ago the Feds came down super hard on FedEx and UPS for not flagging suspicious packages or policing narcotics distribution. FedEx got hit with a 1.6 billion fine. Article: http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/now-big-brother-targets-your-fedex-ups-packages/ The drugs in question were shipments from online pharmacies,so they targeted the couriers while they shut all those down. FedEx is vigilant now.

Would stay away from that fool
