OK, so yes I am a newer buyer, just over 1 month - long time lurker, first time ever posting. I have received a few domestic packages (US) with absolutely no problem. However, when I first joined, I did order something from NL, that has never showed up - its been about 1 month. It is a sch I drug. I got a refund for it, no big deal there. I am just very paranoid about what, if anything, will happen? I have gotten no love letter or anything from US Customs. I know my mailmans schedule, what time he comes and everything, and I get mail daily - even if its just junk or coupons. I havent received any mail in about 5 working days. The past week, I have gone home from work waiting to see if i will be getting a letter or anything. Note, the amount I purchased was a smaller amount, def only would be a personal amount. This all has me very paranoid and on edge.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Should i be worried (my house is always clean)? any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am just a naturally paranoid person.
Also - I know it was stupid, I shouldve always kept it domestic, not sure why I did that. But I would appreciate advice/help if possible
-
I can't help much without first knowing from whom did you order?
But a package taking a month from the NL isn't unheard of, and you seem to have taken precautions in case something bad does happen.
Overall I wouldn't worry much.

thank you for the response twon. I ordered from Jacky. I will say, he kept in touch with me and offered full refund (he refunded me about a week and a half ago). I saw his ratings start to drop recently, though.
In the 3 orders I made after that, I have had great experiences for domestic vendors and never had an issue. But I think I will just stop for a little while to see whats up.
Is it a case where nothing at all would happen (no letter, no knock on my door, etc)? seems weird for nothing to happen. I just plan on keeping everything clean and laying low for awhile.
Again, thank you for getting back in touch with me. I know I'm new, but this community does always seem to offer help/advice and its much appreciated as I am worried.

Same thing happened to me on an order from the end of march, so far no issues but I think I'm done with international
-
Thank you Blackened, that makes me feel a little better. Keep me posted if anything comes from it. I am def thinking of being done with international as well.

The only thing i have ordered internationally is pills and RC's. Sometimes NL bud prices tempt me but i have to remember it's not worth dealing with customs no matter how much money i save.
If you choose one of the vendors that has amazing packaging then you have no worries it will make it. It took 3 weeks for an international order to get to me. It was the first thing i had ordered internationally. The first week i was ok, but near the end of that second one i had became extremely paranoid. Unable to sleep and kept having nightmares of my family crying when they hauled my ass off.
In the end i found it to stressful and not worth saving a little money or the extra time i have to wait on the pack. I have to admit that i was extremely happy when it arrived. I really wish there was a good USA speed vendor.
I hope your pack arrives. Don't sweat it. Like you said it was a personal amount. If customs does take it, you'll get a love letter. I doubt they would bust your door in over some personal amount of substance. Keep us updated. :)

Thank you Sniper, I will keep everyone posted. I too have been very stressed and and get the nightmares too about it! It really is not worth it, and I wish I would've been smarter about it up front. It has just now been just over 1 month since shipped. I dont plan on ordering anything internationally again; and even hesitant to order domestically.
The only thing making me feel better is I do have a very clean house - I always do, and it was a small personal amount I ordered.
I do appreciate the feedback I have gotten from everyone, that helps ease my mind a little - especially with the recent posts I have seen.
thank you again!

Hi peeps!
I know for a fact that Jacky can send from Belgium if asked for it, so you won't have to worry about NL shipments and customs stuff.
And the drop in ratings seem to be disgrunted buyers who didn't read his profile and are mad cause they didn't get what they expected. I mean come on, it's still drugs and it's still a risk...a risk which should be split by both the vendor as the buyer, but only up untill a certain point.
My tip: READ PEOPLE'S PROFILES BEFORE ORDERING :)

Hi Marshall -
I did give Jacky a 5/5 because his customer service was top notch. He gave me a refund, and he was very generous - and i do think his rating should go back up. The only question I was asking was for advice with a sch 1 drug with US customs and if I should be worried. Jacky was great and his rating should go back up.
