Quote from: deivoxcarnal on September 26, 2012, 07:55 amI read that ordering from other countries isn't necessarily a red flag because there is so much e-bay trading.I also read that misspelling your name is a red flag. It's hard to know what to believe sometimes.International orders aren't a 'red flag' - yes, mainly due to the massive amounts of E-Bay and Amazon packages being mailed internationally everyday. That being said, orders from some countries are more likely to be put under extra "random" scrutiny but on the whole it's nothing to worry about.Most vendors package their orders incredibly well, and if there's nothing suspicious about a letter or package then it won't come to the attention of a postal inspector. The best vendors package their orders so well that even if it DOES come to the attention of a postal inspector in a random inspection, they won't find anything even if they punch a hole and use a spectrometer to check if for chemical signatures.Misspelling your name IS a 'red flag' event. You want your order to blend in with your other mail as much as possible. A misspelled name the first one or two times might make your mailman think "huh" and shrug it off, but if you continue to get packages or letters with the wrong name on them, they'll stand out like a sore thumb. Put it this way: if you ordered something from Amazon or E-Bay, isn't it highly unlikely that you'd spell your own name wrong when ordering?! ???Spelling it incorrectly offers you no extra protection. I mean let's be real here, if somebody were trying to frame you then you can be damn sure they'd get your name right on the package, so that "framing" idea goes out the window.Use your real name, your real address, and in the unlikely event something bad happens, deny all knowledge of the package and its contents. The burden of proof rests on the prosecution - don't give them anything to work with and you'll be just fine!- grahamgreene
