I know I'm not the be-all, end-all on here, but I haven't had a single package non-receive since August and I think the instructions I give my buyers helps.Use your real name. If you have a criminal record or something else that might cause your name to flag in the customs system, use the name of the previous tenant (if after 3-6 months so you mail forwarding) or someone else who lives at the location that agrees to this - always be upfront about what you are doing if you are asking someone to receive a package in your name. If you can't be upfront, you can't trust them, and if you can't trust them it's a bad call to put that on them - they will be pissed and it might cause you more trouble than it's worth.Use your real address. Again, if you have a record or that address has someone living there who has a record you might want to check out alternatives, but you are opening up more varialbes that can disrupt you receiving your package smoothly. This is a numbers game. You want things to blend in with the flow of mail as much as possible.For the record, it is not illegal in and of itself to receive drugs in the mail. You have to have intended to receive drugs in the mail. Big difference, because anyone could look you up and send you random stuff, or someone you hates could send you illicits and call the cops on you. So, in all instances, unless you are not receiving several times and still trying to get items shipped to the same place (thus developing a pattern), you have 100% plausible deniability. Hold on to that.If you are super paranoid about receiving packages (you might be, especially at first), keep a magic marker by the door. the second you get the package, stroke off your address and write "return to sender" across the envelope. If you were to get raided, you can just hand them the envelope and speak to your lawyer. He is your mouthpiece. Don't talk to the cops, ever, let the expensive pair of lips do it for you (that's what he's being paid to do). You have 100% plausible deniability in this instance, and most of the time you would never have charges pressed, or if they were your lawyer would have them dropped within an hour (again, if there is no pattern established, which is all on you).The reality of the situation is that customs siezes literally TONS of drugs every year. For most of the personal stuff, you might get a love letter in the mail (I have never heard of any follow up after this, and the only suggestion I have is to not ever use that address to receive goods ever again). Might. many times you don't even get that, it just doesn't show. Postal workers and sorters and people too, and drug usage is a fairly universal ratio across a lot of the social spectrum, so there is a decent chance that a worker just punked your stuff and you are out product while they are getting high off of your shit. Better than a lot of other options.The end game is that there will always be a chance of a product getting siezed. You just want to play that chance way down and maximize the odds of smooth receipt of your purchase. Anything that could possibly raise a red-flag, avoid completely. You have 100% plausible deniability on your side, so the risks are pretty small of any actual consequences and state violence being initiated against you. It is also up to sellers to make sure they play the odds on their end. We need to provide packaging that blends in with mail, 80% of which is corporate reply mail, has no odor, and does not look smell or feel like an illicit substance. If you can cover all of these bases maybe 1 in 100 or less will not make it there, and you can bet some of those are just scam buyers trying to get free or dirt cheap product (but avoiding that is for another topic).
