If your vendor is good at packaging you wouldnt have this issue.

well in the 8 years of online ordering, only once has this happened and this was from a dutch vendor... all i got was letter saying what they found...highly unusual in my opinion

not posting on a public forum that you have two more packs in transit after the police who you say know about SR just visited you about your other package (or was it a love letter? mak up your mind)

so you had a visit from the police because they intercepted a UK to UK order? What was it you were ordering? was it vacuum sealed? What did they say to you about SR?
You have another 2 packages coming from Netherlands and you have had an order from Netherlands seized before which resulted in you getting a "love letter"

For those who haven't noticed, Angelology is almost certainly LE or a troll.

to add to this, im fully aware that this is a public forum! my reasons for posting was to warn you all that there is a serious risk envolved even domestically! it was 3g of weed they intercepted, plus i voluntarily gave up about the same out of my stash i had in my room, maybe silly on my part as was all my weed but didnt want my flat beeing torn apart.. beening honest can work in ur favor.. in answer to other q's i've changed address since the love letter of customs and that was easily 8 yrs or so ago.... the thing thats suprised me the most was that it was uk to uk post, not from netherlands.... package looked nothing out of the ordinary..

Did they mention Silk Road explicitly?

All seems a bit strange unless the package wasn't properly sealed or was opened by a thieving post office employee. Is the NL package more weed? I'd just cross all your bits and hope it comes through ok, there's not much else you can do...
Title: Re: a word of warning (uk)
Post by: dopey20010 on February 19, 2012, 06:48 pm
well one of the 2 is weed the other is something that could get me in more trouble.... when i said it was online they said they bet it was off the dark internet like silkroad... i dont live in big city just a town in the south of the uk....
Title: Re: a word of warning (uk)
Post by: drifter on February 19, 2012, 07:15 pm
this is slightly unrelated to the point of the topic, but kind of fits in. do we have any laws in the uk that relate to trafficking drugs through the post? Like in the us it's a felony to send drugs through the us postal service I think, which means even if you only something like weed and a personal amount you could still be really fucked.

can anyone elaborate?

I'm sorry to hear of your situation dopey.

OK so 3g of weed snet within the UK, do you know if the vendor vacuum sealed/heat sealed it?
Title: Re: a word of warning (uk)
Post by: dopey20010 on February 19, 2012, 10:35 pm
yes it was vac sealed, which i why it baffled me a bit... also the whole situation doesnt add up really, why wait a day after it had arrived before busting me with it
Title: Re: a word of warning (uk)
Post by: bleep on February 19, 2012, 11:00 pm
so what you had the packag delivered for a day, then they came to talk to you about it and take it off you? did they give you any idea to how they found the contents?
Title: Re: a word of warning (uk)
Post by: dopey20010 on February 19, 2012, 11:06 pm
no they turned up with the open package at my flat this morning (sun) saying it contained a suspicious substance, i denied knowledge at first but they told me to come clean otherwise they get a warrent and dogs and tare my place apart. thought no point in going thru that, just better to get slap on the arm... no real record just my name will show up if i get stopped or in trouble again
Title: Re: a word of warning (uk)
Post by: TomsWay on February 19, 2012, 11:18 pm
Seems weird that they would let you off given that you then gave up whatever other stash you had in the flat which is only what they would have found had they come back with dogs to search the place - seems more like opportunistic officers.

How small is the town you live in, rough population? Just wondering why it would go straight to local police..?
Title: Re: a word of warning (uk)
Post by: aligibbs on February 19, 2012, 11:38 pm
I'm in the UK and was a bit confused by this.

I don't understand the rationale behind admitting it was yours? Even if they came back with dogs and found the 3g you already had, it'd be in your own house and easy to argue as personal and/or medicinal use and the penalty would be minor (unless you have a record, I guess). Trafficking (i.e. ordering off the internet) would have a higher penalty. Also, they need a warrant to enter, which if they had one they'd have just pulled out right away after you originally denied knowledge of the package.

I suspect it was just some opportunistic police. Next time just tell them you didn't order it and don't let them in unless they give you a search warrant. And never sign for anything.

Post by: wowzers on February 19, 2012, 11:56 pm
I also don't get why you volunteered the information that you got it from the internet? That's insane.
It's on them to prove where you got it from if it's that important.

Not being too paranoid but I'd have a think about sanitising your house and giving your computer to a friend to look after for a week until your other packages are clear.

A friend was busted in November- he was pulled over in his car as they suspected him of drink driving (he hadn't been) and a small amount of weed (8g), a tiny tiny wrap of MDMA and a couple of those funky little blue 2C-B bees were found. They took his laptop and phone away for examination and they came 3 days later and pulled his house to bits and found nothing.

This was in a small town in the South of England too, police who don't have much to do come down the hardest on shit like this, especially when media friendly stories like 'internet drugs through the mail' are at play. Be careful...

looking back on it, i was half asleep and panicked, im temp living back with my mother at the min and thought it was in my best interest to come clean, as would of been hugely unfair to get the place ripped to shit by drugs squad. i did try denying it at first but they threated to arrest me and get warrent to search the house, wasnt really worth risk considering. cheers to the advice and esp to the 2 people that pm'd me... time to give this site a break for while i think.... still get the feeling that ive been set up by someone eg my mother but guess i will never know.....

sounds like your a kid living at home with his parents, chances are your mum busted the package and paased it on to the local poloce begging them to come round and sort your life out.

That is actually the most probable explanation.

Still, be paranoid and take precautions for the next while just in case.

How young though if he was ordering drugs off the internet 8 years ago?

Bit weird though if the packaging was vac sealed etc and was noticed - have you spoke to the vendor in question about it? Possibly the vendor in question has been noticed at his end?

initially the story took place at the OP's FLAT, then several posts later the story has now changed to taking place in his mothers house. Also not many people who have been ordering online for 8 years really use silkroad  ;)
Why would a grown man be concerned about being set up by his mother, sounds like something a kids would say  ;)

 :D That made me smile -- I've been wondering the same thing. I'm not sure I'd be best pleased if my own Mother shopped me into the cops for weed, sounds drastic. And if you think your Mother is capable of that, I'd move.

Also, to the OP - have you never heard the phrase 'don't shit where you eat'? Or is it 'eat where you shit'? Either way, find an alternative that isn't your mom's house, you were bore of her womb, show some respect. If she is anal enough that you think she'd turn you in, probably best to respect her house while you're living there (particularly if you're over age [which you must be unless you started ordering online at the age of 10!!])

I don't understand the rationality by not providing us with the vendor you ordered from. The vendor may not be at fault at all but since this site is based on feedback from customers it is important you put their name out there, not so that people can stay clear of them but so that any other related incidents with the vendor in question can be added together, yours may well indeed be just by chance, but still if there are consistencies with people being caught using this vendor I would rather know, the vendor can still respond to defend themselves and change things which may be causing the problems.

I am guessing it's very unusual for domestic post containing illegal substances, unless not packed properly, to be found, due to the sheer amount of first / second class post sent on a daily basis.

Since it is a small town you live in, the police probably have nothing better to do so investigate a lot more petty things. where as if you live in a large town / city the police are going to be a lot more lenient because they are already spread thin and have bigger things to deal with.

Also, if you denied everything, they would have to go away and get a warrant to search, you could have easily moved your stash to friends house, to your car, in your shed etc, just piss them off as much as possible making them go through the hassle, but then again, like I said, they probably have nothing better to do.

I call bullshit on this, it isn't how our police work in england.
If he got busted with 6g of ganja, of which 3 was trafficked and he admitted to both he would have AT LEAST been cautioned.
Something is not right here.

The OP has far too many inconsistencies in his story. And as mentioned, this isn't how the police in the UK work.  Now go troll elsewhere you silly little boy...

Post by: ukbenjy on February 21, 2012, 07:38 pm
The story does seem to change a little bit each time. Also, can you let us know who the vendor is? I can't off the top of my head think of a UK guy who was selling 3g last week, presumably it was sent sometime Wed - Fri. Unless it was OSS?
Title: Re: a word of warning (uk)
Post by: sexualpanda on February 22, 2012, 01:55 am
vendors who sell bud from the uk - one stop shop, greengiant, happyhippy and i think another two new dudes last week? one sold cheese by the gram and clones and i cannot remember the other one.

one stop sells in 3g deals
giant does 3.5g deals but not had in a while
hippy does 2g deals
pretty sure the new guys did 1g deals but you could get 3g from them if you bought 3x 1g

If you imported before and got the customs letters, YOUR ADDRESS IS FOREVER ON FILE AS A DRUG IMPORTER. So yes, domestic mail they would flag your address as well.

If your package was sent handwritten personal name to personal name, they may investigate it. They do in Canada anyways but almost never for tiny amounts. He also could've done a shitty vac seal job. Maybe he left your vac seal sitting beside his desk while he smoked a huge blunt or didn't use gloves, or didn't wash it properly and a dog found it during transit.

If the guy you bought from they are profiling as a drug shipper they could've found you that way.

You also never admit to the cops you ordered drugs no matter what they say. If they wanted to search your place (if they COULD search your place) they already would have. This is how cops work: they claim they already know everything, and just want to hear what you have to say about it. Standard fishing expedition for information and confessions.

Just had the OP of this thread place an order with me, very glad he started this thread, as i don't think i will be selling to him after reading this :)

I would like add you are correct i do normally sell in 3.5g quantities & it was 100% not me who sent that order to the OP! I do have more weed in stock just now though  :P
