Question regarding international shipping

I am somewhat new to the DNMS scene and thus far I love it. For years i have stayed away from the illegal drug scene due to the inherent sketchiness that surrounds a lot of it (excluding pot i suppose) in my area. I do not really fit the stereotype as a drug user, which i am aware is bullshit, but it certainly does not help me when it comes to finding connections. Most of my friends just drink, which i dont enjoy, and certainly could not help me find my substance of choice.

So here we are, I discovered the DNMS a few months ago and now I enjoy a lovely break every week or two when i get to get high as a kite and de stress (ahhh). I have ordered from a couple vendors, several domestic which were OK as far as price/stealth/communication go but by far and away my favorite is a canadian vendor( I am located in the US).

His shipping times are good, prices are good, he communicates well, and most importantly he has what i want. I have gotten to where i really enjoy doing business with him(her?). So its great. QUESTION! How safe is this really? It sure feels safe. Aside from some issues obtaining bitcoin I love the process. Place my order, we exchange some messages, after four days he sends a tracker, and usually my goods arrive a couple of days later. I do usually track the package beforehand which i have come to find out is not smart(oops). The package goes to my house, which is delivered and scooped up by me with a big fat smile on my face.

After a fair number of orders though i really am starting to wonder. It is the same size and shape package coming from out of the country on a fairly regular basis. Is this something that will get flagged? Am i playing with fire doing so much international ordering? I am talking super small time casual personal levels of goods here. I have a hard time believing any LE would have interest in me.

That being said I was enjoying a nice BM today, just browsing reddit after a long day of work, and a BAM! comes a knock at the door. I think hmm thats odd, sort of loud, maybe the dog got out. As i hastily wipe and head for the door an image of a swat team at my front door decked out with night vision goggles, AR15s with red dot scopes and DEA vests flashes across my brain.

I find myself peaking through the blinds like some noided out meth head (no offense) only to see the UPS guy driving off. So help me reddit. If you were me would you abandon a vendor you trust solely due to the distance the package travels? I find it disheartening to try anyone else, but I will do so if there is cause for alarm.

Even for personal amounts I'd strongly recommend you keep your purchases US domestic. It's EXTREMELY rare for someone to get a controlled delivery or otherwise busted when ordering domestic. Less safe is Canada, followed by Europe at a distant third, Germany, and the Netherlands at distant last. I've only ordered letter sized stuff from Canada, but there's plenty enough American weed vendors. I'd recommend Cannaxpress000, but that's just me. What the fuck did the SWAT's say when they opened the door?

You know.. You could order a higher quantity, so you don't have to order so often, and/or ask the vendor if he changes packaging if that worries you. Btw. what are you ordering?

i think you're fine ordering from canadia as long as it's not too frequently. i'd keep it to 1 or 2x a month. even then, i'd still probably freak a little. try switching it up and finding some domestic vendors. that'll help cut out the paranoia and is probably a little better for opsec.

I'd recommend domestic for regular purchases. It is less dangerous except there may be a dealer who would cooperate with LE to get a reduced sentence.

For big items like oxy, they are more dangerous. LSD and fentanyl blotters are much much safer internationally. It's just paper, easy to hide.

Switch to fentanyl if you like opiates, but research the dangers of the substance.

To stay super safe, it would probably be the best idea NOT to keep any drugs home, at least not keep them home around and during the delivery times. It's always good to keep your computer clean, too. Read deepdotweb.com for more info. They have the latest news about dark markets as well as many articles on safety and security.

As we talk only about small quantities for personal use, don't you think guys that drug laws are quite silly nowadays? How is it possible that in today's society a normal, hard-working person may be considered a criminal because he or she took a drug that is less harmful than alcohol or tobacco that are totally legal? Hopefully the laws will be improved in this regard and LE will save up some time to work on better causes.

Anyway, for now, unfortunately LE still have duties to do, so do your duties (to protect yourself) too!

Could you elaborate on the SWAT thing? What were they there for?

And yea, international orders are more risky. Canada to US isn't as bad as the Netherlands though. If the stealth is good it shouldn't be too risky, don't order once or twice a week though.

I've never ordered internationally, sketches me out. I might order from Canada one day though if I find the right vendor.

Edit: also consider the huge amounts of mail that get sent out each day. Hard for LE to keep track of. Just don't be a low-hanging fruit.

Canada is the safest international border you could send a package through. It goes through a lot more when it comes from overseas. Not sure but people have said canada border is just as strict as domestic which is rly non existent unless drugs or showing or smelling
