Title: Package received VERY late with a few small holes poked through envelope
Post by: GAB on SR on September 09, 2013, 06:58 pm
My package finally showed up after 7 weeks in transit. When it arrived it had 8 small holes poked in it (about the size of a paperclip point) that went through the envelope, but not all the way through to the other side of it. Am I being paranoid or was this used to determine the contents inside?

Sounds shady to me. Was the internal "container" whatever it was compromised?

Hello dear OP.

There are a ton of possibilities but the most common one I could think of would be that a post sorting machine "ate"(therefore the holes) your shipment and it was found weeks later and shipped finally to you.

@TA: Yes the holes went through the plastic bag inside the envelope.

How long have you had said package in your possession? If its been more than a day Id say a cd is highly unlikley and its just a fluke.

Yes the package was seized. Yes it was searched. Yes they took a small sample and put the receiving name and address on a permanent government watchlist. The same thing happened to me for a package at a drop. If you have any shred of an instinct of self preservation then you will NEVER receive any contraband under the compromised name and address ever again.

^ Guy beat me to it. You got holes poked, reagent tested, sent your way. They're just waiting for you to receive something worth busting down on, resources for these kinds of thing are spread thin as you can imagine given the revolution ;)

Just seems weird that they would poke 8 holes. Seems like a big giveaway. But who knows. Be careful....

Just means they were very determined ;) I've had customs after my packages before, luckily back then it was all obscure tryptamines that obviously didn't test dirty for them.. When I had it happen and still had the packages forwarded to me I would get yellow tape though "INSPECTED BY CUSTOMS".. And they never poked holes, just tore open the package.

I would imagine if it *did* test dirty though they might repackage it to make it look like a shipping malfunction as you suggested.. So as to hopefully not alert you to an issue with innocent enough reason for a missing amount of the compound.

I've had a hole poked in my package before.  I assume it was customs (not positive though) and they were probably trying to take a look inside to see what was in the package.  Luckily when they did it, it did not poke through the internal vacuum sealed bags.  If they *had* punctured that part then my MDMA would have fallen out all over the place and it would have been bad.
