Quote1) have you read the postal act (or equivalent for whatever country) ?If you're referring to specific rules about this sort of behavior I've only been able to find some information for the United States about it. It's called US Postal Service Form 1583 and one is required to fill one out if the package is sent through USPS (its not needed however through UPS/Fedex) - it can be found here: https://about.usps.com/forms/ps1583.pdfI'm fairly sure this form is not needed for any other country and since there's virtual offices in most countries they should go under the law of that specific country. The regulations depends mostly on the carrier as far as I can tell.QuoteI was speaking with a friend recently. regarding a reseller service through mail forwarding and such. Anyways I've yet to research the laws but basically since mail forwarding is legal, I was curious as to what requirements were made in terms of ID, or due diligence to knowing and identifying customers.I was speculating on having a client base that was anonymous.Bare with me and please help me if I'm missing something.Basic Mailbox receiver with an address and a guy sitting behind a counter. mail man walks in and hands over a shit ton of mail. because all mail is addressed to this 1 store. for instance 1 package might be addressed to: John doe123 fake st.etcetcetcetc.while another is addressed tomelvin chu123 fake st.etcetcetcetc.It's a business so multiple names shouldn't be an issue. and it is set up as a remailer so the post office knows whats up.each name is associated with a number. john is 1 and melvin is 2.Far far away in some other country free of everything is a computer unattached to the web. it is simple a data storage unit. in this wonderful hidden away unit is the name and address according to each number. So all the mails in and all the packages are put into new boxes. the info is transferred from a friendly foreigner and you print out some labels and send them off.This sort of insures there's no actual data anywhere on site.anything standing out as horribly illegal ? I mean suspicious and obviously doing shady as shit is fine. if it's not illegal then that's what lawyers are for.just curious about the thoughts on this.I've been in the same line of thought. :)Someone packages 10-100+ envelopes/parcels with stamps on them filled with a designated weight of product each and stuffs them into one large package which gets sent to the Mail Forwarder. Once there the Mail Forwarder unpacks the box and is simply awaiting for what addresses so he can print a label and put it on the envelope/parcel and send it on it's way. They basically do it like this now but in smaller scale as when they open the package they photograph the contents and put it up on their profile and awaits orders to send multiple items in the same package, so in a way this would be doing the reverse in that regard; taking a big box and sending them out individually. There's nothing inherently illegal with the method myself I'm aware off as it could clearly be used for legal purposes aswell, for example a company which hires a Mail Forwarder as a sub contractor to send packages internationally as they don't have the time to fill out customs forms in person. Now when I think about it I'm fairly sure anyone selling large quantities of things on for example eBay internationally could save a lot of time by having someone else do this job instead of them.QuoteBit question: does the mail forwarding service need a search warrant to search your packages. This is the advantage of using government mail services, they can't inspect any package for any reason. Private carriers can (I think). If these mail forwarders can search packages without a warrant, then I can't imagine this idea taking off too far. However, if they do need a warrant, props on finding this and organizing it so well.They most likely get a search warrant for the entire complex as opposed to a singular mail, these two articles on a raid don't give that much information on the nature of the search warrant unfortunately: http://www.bizjournals.com/tampabay/blog/morning-edition/2013/01/federal-agents-raid-myuscom-warehouse.html / http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20130124/ARTICLE/130129734 - However the question here is if all packages are properly sealed in Moisture Barrier Bags what exactly are police supposed to do, rip open every single package in the hopes of finding something? I would presume they were just raiding specific customers who they knew for a fact were shipping (most likely) large quantities of drugs. This is the only known raid on a Mail Forwarder as far as I'm aware, if the company itself find the drugs (which they do occasionally, some people use no preventive layers at all and it will stink big time) they simply hand it over to police or something to that effect. Worth keeping in mind as I've previously said though they will inspect the packages, so it needs some kind of stealth beyond just the protective layers themselves.
