As I'm using my own name and address I'm trying to work out the safest way possible to import into Australia.
I've heard that it's only safe to order under 5 grams per package. Is this true? Have people had luck with orders over this amount?
Is it also true that customs is less suspicious on mail from USA, CA and UK compared to ordering from EU.
In the case that customs did inspect your package, did you just receive a warning or was more action taken?
Thanks!

well so far ive had 3 from SR arrive, they came through ok, even before SR i got 100g MHRB from EU through fine.
the only time ive had one seized was when i was a kid i got some seeds which were illegal here and they just sent me a letter, that was it.
i dont think bigger packages would be any harder, as long as its shipped right, vac sealed and like no drug laden fingerprints which is what the dogs pick up.
small samples wouldn't be chased up and just kept by customs, where as if a bigger shipment got busted they might get the pigs involved.
i guess you just got to make a decision, either pay the horribly inflated prices for stuff shipped in aus, or just man up and take the risk of ordering overseas, its not that much of a risk anyway, since tons of mail goes through everyday, they cant pick up everything.

Yeah I went ahead and made a few orders and made sure they had good packaging and feedback. I know people that order 10g's at a time from EU on a weekly basis and have never been caught so I think customs aren't as strong as the media make out them to be.

Guys, my advice be extremely bloody careful .My understanding is that they X-Ray and run the dogs over every piece of international mail and courier letters / packages.
I have imported pharmaceutical painkillers and Valium on 3 separate occasions (different name and address each time). All 3 items were seized and I received a warning letter from customs each time. The only reason they didn't take further action was because they were all first offences (ie different names).
It's not just talk, Australian customs are some of the toughest in the world.
!!!BE CAREFULL!!!

Where and who did you order from morphing? Did they have positive feedback for their packaging methods?
I've had valiums and other benzos come from overseas plenty of times and never received a warning, I was more concerned with ordering illegal substances.

This happened a few years ago now, so nothing to do with SR or any of the Vendors on here.
As I said they were pharmaceuticals (Oxycontin and Valium) so they wouldn't be picked up by the dogs.
My first order made it through OK, but all 3 subsequent orders were seized by customs. The second order was placed several months later, and the last one about 12 months later.
Since then I have heard Aust customs used to check mail and courier packages at random, but that they now X-Ray and run the dogs over everything. I can't confirm if this is true or not, but it really wouldn't take that long to do.
The first one (which made it through) was extremely well packaged and business like, so I don't think it was dodgy packaging. However they did come from Panama which may set off alarm bells.
I have spoken to my contact over their since, and she will not send anything to Australia anymore point blank, she said their one of the worst she's dealt with.

Yeh, we wont risk ordering from overseas because we have had friends who got nasty letters from Customs for importing valiums and some oxies. I'm sure their name is recorded now on some database, if they are charged it may stop them from getting certain jobs, especially within government.
I guess people would prefer not to take on the risk and stress of waiting for a package from overseas, i'll always pay extra to avoid stress and uncertainty. Many people like their parcels delivered fast and securely, which is very easy to do via Auspost domestic mail.
Most overseas dealers make Aussie buyers finalize early before they will send the goods due to so many parcels being intercepted by Aussie customs. We always like to SR Escrow system with trusted Aussie buyers :)
Just our thoughts...

5 grams... of weed maybe.
5 grams of any powder is enough to get you some real attention if it was to get found by customs in my opinion
-
brockeh in your sig you claim 18/20 successful receivables rate, what happened to the other 2 packages? do you suspect they were lost in the mail?
i have brought 10grams of jwh through a usa based vendor, got through no problems, this was 1 year ago
customs have checked the 1kg of caffeine powder i purchased from usa, and 100 gelatine capsules,

interesting reading
i have always wondered about screening in Australian customs - and had heard the 'xray/dog' all packages
however i have received about 8 1/4 ounce packages of weed and around 6 of pharmaceuticals (benzos) with no problem at all. the weed was from an anon email in netherlands and the pharms from portugal.
not bought anything from SR as of yet - but I have faith for small packages.

I remember watching that Customs show on TV and they were about to x-ray a box of letters and the customs officer said this was "suspicious mail", I highly doubt they x-ray every single letter (maybe every single parcel). If you're seller knows have to package correctly, doesn't live in a 3rd world country and you're not ordering ounces at a time I think you've got a pretty good chance.

They do not scan and sniff EVERY package. However, Australia is one of the most well funded and sophisticated customs department.
That being said, we have a friend who has had 70% of his packages arrive. It's not a risk we would take but it's entirely up to the individual. Also, we have not heard of any SR controlled deliveries in Australia as yet.

pharms are completely different to illicit drugs, as said above they stick out like dogs balls.
its pretty obvious that pharms would get picked up way easier, especially from an online pharmacy where they dont even stealth ship it.
for other stuff you would have to be pretty unlucky to get busted, im sure the customs just keeps it unless its an amount worth calling the cops for like that dude who tried to get a kg of MDPV in.

Just noticed the article. this is from the horse's mouth.Ive been sending & receiving for many years now and it is so important not to be complacent with Australian Customs,get lax or lower your awareness as i guarantee you will be disappointed .As one writer on forum said Australian Customs are 'truely one of the most efficient in the world-the bastards. During time of poor unemployment the Aust govt took on literally thousands of out of work people into customs,police, custodial,and all the forces and are all paid exceptionally good money with penalty rates, now times have changed a bit but their still there. Neville Wran many years ago was virtually himself responsible for Thailand being hooked up by computer network to the Australian Feds.To get away with it it,or to increase your odds is recommended to keep packet small in size 1-2 grm max, use gloves when packaging and dont contaminate your site perhap,s by smoking a joint while posting or packing. Items are separated ie obiviously a letter from any of the major drug countries is going to be scrutinized more severely. Dogs are prevalent although not always there ,they are trained with real mail. and 90+ % is on conveyor belt is under the Xray..If your on a good thing ,stick to it and do not NOT tell anyone. Its difficult because most customs Aust,look at it as if they are stopping Australia being contaminated with virus's from overseas.!!! take what you can,leave the rest!!!!

im not sure, im hoping they were lost but i think theres a fair chance customs got them, but with the amounts involved its just not worth cops time to come and talk to me about it.
From what ive heard you dont get any kind of 'love letter' for street drugs (but may get one for pharms, particularly benzos) in australia.

Very true... That is the reason why we only source our Pfizer Xanax and Benzo's thru Australian Prescriptions from a Chemist.

1g e from canada no prob. blots from eu no prob.
Awaiting first tablet order from holland, small amounts (2 to 5 tabs of e) will let you know how it goes. Cancelling an order for 10 valium, sounds safer to get them here.

Well shit i now have one order that didn't arrive, a point of jwh from hashuk, not sure if it was cause of the way it was shipped or what.
Anyway i hope the cunt that stole it snorts the lot and OD's.

i dont mean to be inflammatory but i have to disagree with just about everything youve said.
hashuks pakaging is top notch, i was impressed it to be honest. there is an amount of luck involved dodging customs. ive had 3 orders come perfectly from him
hes also not a cunt, i found him to be polite and friendly in general, with quick replies. when one of my orders was late he readily began discussing a partial refund.
you also cant snort jwh
-
I think he was joking ;)
+10 on hashuk. his packaging and service is second to none.
-
He's talking about the postal worker or customs officer that stole the JWH not HashUK. :) (I reckon they did you a favour personally )
Without being a wanker, threads like this are pointless. You always get "experts" who claim that 90+% of mail gets sniffed/x-rayed/scanned
which is bollocks or you get people like me or Brockeh who have had no or few problems saying go for it! You have to decide
whether it is worth it to you or not.
If you are careful the risks are low. Lower than driving around scoring drugs locally in my opinion.
Good sellers wouldn't ship to OZ if a high % of orders didn't get through, it would be too expensive.
Put it this way, if I was a seller I would rather ship to OZ than to Italy or other countries that have entrenched theft in the postal service.

I did not say hashuk was a cunt, i was talking about the person who stole it from the post.
Anyone who picks up a random baggie of powder will most likely think its coke or some shit so thats why i said i hope the cunt snorts it and dies.
