I lived in Japan for quite some time, with my wife who was a US service member. First off, YOU WILL GO TO PRISON if you're caught with drugs or importing drugs into Japan. To think otherwise is naive. Just google "military spouse pot japan". I just left Japan in December 2012, and I was already a member of SR, and even tried ordering 1/8th of pot, and spoke with the vendor and requested the tightest stealth he could manage, of course I paid extra, but I really wanted to smoke! Anyhow, I had my mailbox at the PO, and I also knew the combo(these boxes had combo locks that I've never seen before) to another box that was erroneously issued to me upon my arrival. So I was basically given a drop box, not linked to me. So, that being said, my order was seized by Japanese customs, and the only reason I wasnt incarcerated is because they thought the pack was intended for the true owner of the other box. The only way to really import via SR or another similar method, is to ship using Japanese carriers, and ship to Japanese addresses, with labels printed in Japanese. Trust me, it's the only way. Mail coming internationally to foreigners, particularly Americans/Europeans, is scrutinized much more thoroughly. I won't say how I know this, but please, if you want to stay free, take my advice. Their are alot of japanese express companies, you will see them all over delivering things from door to door. You must learn how to write your name and address in Japanese, THIS IS CRITICAL!!! You don't want the customs inspectors to be able to take one look at your package and know you're an American, or other foreigner.
Edit: As to how I knew my pack was seized, I performed some counter-surveillance from a safe distance each day around mail delivery time, and on the day i was expecting delivery, the police arrived with drug dogs to the PO.

I swear I read about your situation somewhere online a few weeks ago when I was researching this. Well it's too late to change the shipping address to Japanese characters. Hopefully it gets here in the next few days. If not, there's always the excuse that somebody set me up? Lol...

how can new venders get access to this list?

People don't want to hear that they are going to get scammed. They look at low, low prices and get greedy.

One time I warned another user directly in the forum, before he bought, against a vendor selling 'discounted bitcoins', 20% under the market price. I warned him that no one would sell bitcoins under the going rate, and he replied to me in a basically angry way, saying that some vendors just have excess BTC they need to get rid of. The next day he was back on the forums complaining that he had been scammed.

So I understand the lack of remorse those people getting scammed. Some have been told time and time again. Some of them get scammed repeatedly, and even fail to make a single successful transaction. I think most of the time it results from the greed of wanting a deal that is too good to be true.

This will probably earn me a few more neg k but fuck it.

The wave on entitlement from many new SR users is palpable, they arrive onto the forums after posting their 50 spam posts thinking they know it all and they are resistant to any efforts to guide and steer them in safer directions. If I had a BTC for every online stouch over an issue like FE where a buyer is whinging about being scammed because they FE'd and never got their order and then have the bare faced nerve to blame SR and the admins for their bad choices I would be rich man.

Why reading and educating ones self before buying illegal substances over the internet is such a chore for so many blows my fucking mind.

Personally I actually really enjoyed doing my research. The information I found was fascinating and I developed a major hunger for knowledge. It's a shame this isn't the sake for other people but it's put me in a much better position.
