Weird story about US customs

This happened a few weeks ago when I placed an order from a country known for selling pharms. This was a legit vendor, I'd used them in the past with no issues. Now I know all about love letters, and all that stuff. I had orders that went through no problem that were only seperated by a week or one even made after the initial order. Those showed up no problem on time.

So my one package wasn't for a large amount of pills, a small order really. I saw that it had gotten held up in customs, but that generally happens for a short time and then it is released. Well nope, not in this case, as the weeks went by it was still stuck in customs. I figured hey you know, its obviously got siezed big deal it happens. I'm expecting a love letter because this was only for a S IV drug, and not a hugely popular one compared to say xanax or something.

Well what do you know, all the sudden I check the tracking one last time and it passes customs. This is weeks later. It shows up at my drop, with no signature (Which is strange every prior package from this vendor req a sig.) It's clearly been opened and US Custom & Border control tape has resealed it. Ofc I'm not going to open that, even though the way it went down totally goes against CD procedure. So it sits there for a couple of weeks, nothing happens. I decide to open it, there is no device to see if I opened it or anything of the sort but they clearly opened it up and inspected it. They opened up one of the blisters and broke off a chunk of the pill. They had to have tested it for illicit substances.

But what I don't fucking get is why did they go to all this trouble? Why still send me the package when what it was normally would be a siezure letter. I'm obviously not ordering shit for a long time, but I never ordered anything sizable int and that was maybe 6 int order in 5 years. Obviously I've cleaned how etc, but I wanted to get your guys take on it.

I honestly think because of this fent shit going on that they are increasing heavily ALL orders through the mail. It's sad to see, I've been ordering unique stuff for over a decade now and all these stupid fuckers who order analog fent opiates just to sell them as OC's and shit. A close friend just died 3 weeks ago because of the pills being cut with fent.

My guess would be each seizure = a nontrivial amount of time/paperwork/resources. While they could seize it, Customs has a set operating budget and performance targets too, and efficiency metrics and management and that bullshit you'd see in a corporation... so they don't seize the low priority items, even tho it is a regulated schedule 4 medication like alprazolam. At the same time, they can't just keep the package or throw it away (without officially initiating a seizure), so they just repack it and send it along to the intended recipient.

That's my theory anyway, based on unjustified assumptions made without any particular insight, except a little experience with general government bureaucracy.

had a similar thing happen to me in my early days of DNM's. This was in early 2012. SuperTrips, the biggest vendor on SR, only had a hundred or so transactions at the time. I decided to go for bulk after reading his stealth was incredible. He shipped from NL only at this time. I'm going to reveal the technique only because it's known by customs far and wide and no decent vendor would attempt this... He scooped out peanut butter, and put the 50gs of moon rock inside. He poured hot peanut butter back over the top and even applied a sticker touching the lid to the jar. Return address super professional as well. Printed. Welp, customs got that fucker. It was in customs Miami for 3-4 days. They left a note saying to go pick it up. Which was weird because no attempt had been made( i was sure of it). Well went to pick it up, and they had it at local PO. Hands me a box that is wrapped in green colored customs tape. I was freaking out but took it and dipped out, opened it. Customs literally removed the bag from the peanut butter, closed the jar back up, threw the bag with ~49gs of MDMA back into the box and went ahead and let us have it lol. I think what happens is they do this shit as a scare tactic/deterrent. Well I was only more encouraged by the fact they decided to give me my MDMA lol. Never raided or nothing. In fact, we kept on using that drop for international orders from Germany, UK, and India. As well as multiple 5 and 10 packs of bud from NorCal. Never had an issue with that drop for over a year and then my associate moved

So yeah, don't sweat it too much. They'll probably look you up, figure out you're just a pipsqueak who ain't worth the time, then add you to some list that probably won't be referenced ever. Or they just didn't care for paperwork that day. Or perhaps someone realized the maximum contents of that package wasn't a major trafficking group so they didn't follow the very strict and resource consuming process of unpacking the box with photos every step.

I've had a couple international packs that required a signature just put in my mailbox without the mail man obtaining my signature. I think sometimes it slips by them. I've also had a pack sit in customs for 2 weeks which made me think it was clearly seized but it came fine. I have ordered a bunch internationally but the only package I ever had inspected by customs was a clearnet eBay package from china. Ya like you said OP just lay low for awhile and stick to domestic vendors.

A big role that Customs plays is keeping illegitimate Pharmaceuticals for example fake stuff that doesn't contain active ingredient or is something totally altogether different from entering the country I used to actually order from India all the time. In India especially there is a pretty big demand and job market and making fake Pharmaceuticals amoxicillin for example

Hey I don't really have any inputs reagrding the customs but I just want to say I'm sorry to hear about the recent loss of your close friend. I lost a friend from back home to opiates about 3 months ago, a couple days after Christmas. She was back home for the holiday season, and so was I.

Honestly, I can't even describe the emotions I've felt at her funeral. Her mom was not at her funeral. I didn't ask where she was. All I knew was that she was the one who found her dead in her room and they were very, very close. They talked to each other on the phone almost every single day. If they weren't able to talk on the phone, they would text each other instead, so they were in touch on a daily basis.

I gave her father and brother a hug because that was all I was able to do. All I was able to say was, "I'm so sorry." and saying that alone was enough to have tears come running down my eyes. I didn't even realize tears were coming down from my eyes until I saw my tear drop marks on the concrete floor.

We used to do drugs together. Not recently but a good amount of times in the past. That made me feel guilty.

My deepest condolence.

Would you mind sharing what the product was? For them to seize it the lab test needs to come back positive for an illegal drug. So most likely it was an RC or something of that nature that isn't scheduled as illegal. So they were forced to repack it and return it to you

I have a small order for a legal RC that has been stuck in customs for a week now, so these stories are a little reassuring to read.
