Hi everyone. I've ordered several stuff from this site in the last 2 months, everything always arrived next day after posting, but i ordered last week something which was sent out on 25th Feb, so 1st class arrives usually next day, but this item has still not arrived, the latest it should have arrived is 28th. What is the likelihood that it was intercepted by Royal Mail/Police or just lost? i've never had a letter or package get lost, ever!
Thanks for any help provided. I just want to add its UK-To-UK post and the the seller is trusted.
-
Get proof of shipping, if no parcel arrives after 2 weeks then request some compensation if you do not get a seizure letter.

royal mail don't inspect anything. worst case scenario it was ripped open in a sorting machine which revealed the contents or it was lost/stolen by someone who works for them.
i've had domestic show up a month after i expected it, it's rare but it happens. royal mail does seem to have slowed down a lot recently so i wouldn't worry about it too much yet. if it's weed you're ordering i'll just say our 2 biggest uk vendors have had issues recently with one being ill which severely slowed down his turnaround and the other has been banned outright.
ignore magic man his advice is completely irrelevant to your situation.

Thanks, appreciate that help.
it was MXE i ordered. The seller offered to reship it if it doesn't arrive by Friday which i am happy about, was just worried if they had intercepted it that if a second package comes with this stuff in, it may be problems for me.
Strange thing is one of my letters arrived open 2 days ago so was a bit confused...
-

This is not true.
They don't inspect MUCH, but they do inspect mail occasionally, and they do have drugs dogs at the big depots on a fairly regular basis. Let's not get complacent here.

That's intriguing.
Doesn't sound like HMRC - they'll re-seal before delivery.
Sounds like you might have a thieving postie though.

hmm that's weird a load of tunbears orders got nicked before christmas i'm guessing by a thieving temp worker. i ordered some mxe for a friend which didn't show and he did do a reship after a while which showed up fine but he didn't ask for an address for the reship meaning he must have been storing them so i avoid him now... could be someone in the postal system his end is onto him and has profiled the packaging. completely forgot about that order given it wasn't for me!
did your open one have product or was it empty?
fair dos mduk they inspect and have dogs, i'll take your word for it! i can't imagine it's anywhere near the level of customs scrutiny and i'd still say the likelihood of interception is a hell of a lot lower. i doubt they've bothered training any dogs to sniff out mxe either. just hope if it's a thief that they think it's coke or something and get uncontrollably fucked up for a while as a result of their thievery ;)

Drug dogs are only trained to smell one individual drug, so depending on what you order there is a strong chance that a dog isn't going to smell it.
And it has been noted regularly that these dogs get lazy after about 90 minutes, and these places are way to busy (they are open 24 hours, 6 days a week) to switch the dogs every 90 minutes. As well as the handelers are expensive, and the RM staff are under-paid.
So the chances of a dog catching your shit after it gets through customs is very, very slim.
Now border customs is different. The actual place all the mail goes before it reaches a RoyalMail depot. I'm sure they have dogs/x-rays but with all the packages coming in and out of the country every day, it's still hard for them to catch.
You ever watched anything on TV where they go in to these kind of depots. You still only ever see them catching the ridiculous packages. Like the latest one I seen was 5000 pills in a book. The book had a whole cut in the middle, 5000 pills were stuffed in it (not vac sealed, just in a zip-lock) and it was wrapped in brown paper with an address on it. Not even a fucking box.
I mean, what the fuck? How stupid are some people.

Thanks for that.
My open letter was a thick letter with lots of paper inside, it was from a solicitors office so nothing from here.
I'll request a reship tomorrow then and most likely use my own name on this package so i believe you're right. Why would they train dogs to sniff out MXE.
My postman changed in the last 2 months from the usual one i trusted. If someone is stealing it, hopefully they do get fucked up and overdose!
Do you think it would be a better idea to use my real name though?
-
yeah use your own name otherwise it looks really weird if a few things turn up every now and then to a different name and they're all jiffy packages and thick envelopes. if it is your postman and he's clocked on that's just like labeling them 'free drugs' haha
-
Thanks for the advice.
Now im thinking he's most likely clocked it, and thinking he may open my packages too under my own name.
I ordered some APB powder (legal high in the UK) from some website which usually comes in a thick jiffy type envelope, i'll see if i receive that, should receive it tomorrow as i've always received my legal highs the next day after ordering them for the last year! if i don't receive them i may just be having words with this post guy! he looks like the type of guy who does drugs anyways!
-
or have words with his boss. you don't have to say what he's stealing, i doubt he'll want to shout about it..
-
Posties are thieves! I get on with mine really well because we went to school together for a couple of years, and he has out right told me he has stolen festival tickets and envelopes where he knows there is cash in it.
Because of the whole 'privacy' thing with mail, if they are caught stealing they get a unbelievable sentence in jail, like 10 years or something!
-
do you know your postie well? if so, grab him and ask!
-
this guy is new, like a few months and they been changing every week and so between 2 fucked up looking people. The previous guy i knew well and i never lost any package with that guy. wish he came back. Should be receiving a package tomorrow or the next day if it doesn't arrive there will be trouble with this post man!

You can't just outright accuse him of stealing it, that will never work. Think about it? What are you going to say?
"Excuse me mate, have you been pinching my mail filled with lots of different illegal narcotics??"
Try complaining to him about missing mail, like ask him questions:
"How often does mail go missing?" - "My mail is going missing, what should I about it?" and then check his reaction.. He might get a shock, look nervous or whatever. At least then if you still have a feeling about him doing it, ask who you should complain to about lots of missing mail, then he might shit himself and not try it again.
Personally, I don't think it's been stolen. It's probably just lost or something.

Hi,
If a parcel is seized by customs / police / Royal Mail, will they send the receiver a legal or warning letter?
Just wondering as I am still waiting for my parcel (2 Oz of marijuana) from Canada to United Kingdom which has taken 13 days as of today! Still waiting for it to come in!
Regards

yeah thats what i meant, was going to ask something like how often does mail go missing.
To be honest we've been living in this home for over 15 years and not once has anything we ordered gone missing (not from here but you know what i mean)
just seems strange that one package went missing which contained drugs.

In my experience, yes, they'll always send out a letter unless they're doing a CD (and really for a couple of ounces of weed they probably won't bother with that).
The more likely scenario if it doesn't show is a scamming vendor...

Just piggybacking on this guys question, if it is a scamming vendor and you FE'd (I understand it was reckless to FE) what would you say is the best course of action? If you request proof that they sent it, can't they just fake it anyway?

Thanks for your advice mate.
The vendor i ordered from is MarijuanaIsMyMuse. I've not known about his positive reputation only until today (which is the 13th day after ordering inclusive of weekends).
I feel so much relieved after seeing a lot of good feedbacks here on the forum.
Probably takes a bit longer as I stay way North East of England.

i never received a warning letter after 2 weeks so i am guessing it wasn't seized!

You FE'd, you don't really have any course of action asides maybe complain on the forums...

so got a reship sent out yesterday which was nice, was hoping it would have arrived today, but should do tomorrow. If it doesn't i'll be a bit worried with what the hell is going on, and the fact that i am using my own name aswell!
-
SO the reship was sent out on Wednesday first class, and i've not received it the 2nd time, even though this time i used my own name on the package, i receive all other packages fine, i order legal highs too and they arrive fine, what do you think could be happening here?
-
that sucks but you might have to just write it off. sounds like problems his end if everything else is getting to you fine. reich is getting some mxe again this weekend i think he said somewhere...
-
I've never had an RM 1st class not turn up even before SR, a couple hundred sent and 0% failure rate, so I'd be deeply suspicious of two in a row ???

Dogs are trained to detect multiple illicit substances. Just Google the subject...They will only detect explosives, or drugs because of their "hitting" response. I had a scare once flying from Madrid to Amsterdam via Germany. I had been in Ibiza for two weeks, so I obviously had been partying hard. And had been smoking a a lot of beat hash which I would toss in my backpack. I made sure to remove everything before I flew. But upon arriving in Germany a comando guy was sitting there with a very large German Shepard. I went to walk by the dog, but it followed me. The German cop yelled "halt", good thing I know 3 words of German. Anyway, the dog waled around my lugage for 30 long seconds then walked away. That was the scariest moment of my life. I would have kicked myself if I forgot to remove a gram of hash or something stupid.
