You can take what I say with a grain of salt if you want to, but I must preach that US to US First Class shipping is not an option anymore. Use priority shipping. If it isn't an option, don't buy.

Because of new upgrades where you can, quote, "see your package early", the problem that they are using sale tactics for certain shipping to be able to see your package early. But really, they x-ray it beforehand, just like they do in customs. So unless the vendor you are using has veteran/legendary/efficient/international shipping leveled stealth to use first class shipping, I wouldn't risk it. I have a feeling that a lot of hate is about to flow into this post, but I'm just letting you guys know. That's why I said you can take it with a grain of salt, if you want to.

No, they don't. They're literally just taking a photo of it while it's moving through the automated sorting machine, the same as they have been ever since 2002. The only difference now is they've hooked up that system to the internet so you can see that picture too.

to my knowledge its not really x-rayed, per say, but rather scanned with forced suction induction (that was fun to type!) by 2 cylinders that are also rollers. The flat mail gets "sucked" into the rollers, where it gets flattened and scanned in the process.

If you put ANYTHING in a 1st class envelope or scannable sized envelope that is NOT paper, it stops at said machine. Then the mail person has to manually do something with it. THAT will get you flagged.

Besides, if you are sending g's of powdery or crunchy drugs in a fucking letterheard you are a fucking retard.

Just my two boof's on the subject.

They can't see into most of the packages most vendors use mylar envelopes even if they did get scanned the X-Ray wouldn't even be able to see because of the aluminum outside of the bag. Also most vendors are smart enough to use a decoy and the mylar bags so if it did get opened up they wouldn't find jack shit.... Even international they wouldn't be able to see into the package. They do look at certain packs coming from certain countries such as Holland because of all the ecstasy if something about the pack stands out they'll take a look otherwise it's all in your head man.
