right uk users, if you got a customs letter to an address and had no other addresses to use for deliveries do you think domestic only deliveries would still be cool? and the seized items were under a false name, to start using another name recognized at the address for DOMESTIC ONLY packages would make it to the door?? thanks for any advice, please provide accurate info not just wild theories on how things may or may not pan out

Impossible to know for sure but I would imagine there is plentiful communication between customs and domestic royal mail.
You'd be silly to continue with that address.

hmmm.personally I would take the chance being a small package from the uk but anything bigger or even class A I would just ask a friend to take the delivery for you.Your address is red-flagged now.bummer!

Domestic packages are very rarely put anywhere near an inspection or sniffer dog, because Royal Mail processes tens of millions of letters and packages per day, whereas the amount coming through customs will be far fewer by several factors at least so as long as it's regular business mail size you should be fine for small personal use deliveries. Remember though anybody can send drugs to you in the mail, I could send some fine coke over to Mr Cameron but does that mean he's responsible? Of course not, he just denies he knew about it. If you're paranoid, just don't open the letter for a day or 2, this isn't American with all the controlled delivery crap unless you were planning on buying enough to count or look like you're supplying others - we don't bust down doors with assault rifles for a gram of weed or coke since we take the common sense approach.
As for "no other addresses to use for deliveries" - that isn't true mate. Setting up another address for deliveries is extremely easy. I'm not going to post it in public but if you need any help on that just message me with your PGP key and I'll be happy to advise you on it. I have a different delivery address for each vendor I order from and I've only had 1 non-arrival in the many I've ordered over the past year or 2.

Personally I would consider the address to be burned.
Domestic orders in your real name may still be fine, after all you do still get your legitimate post, right? And Royal Mail are hardly gonna open all your mail from now on.
But, that's just a guess.
What we really need in this forum is a serving Royal Mail employee.
In my opinion though, you should not use the address again - better to be safe than sorry.

Hello fellas, I will speak here based on experience and by way of educated guess.
Customs - are and are not police in other way. They only give a damn of whats comes in the country and what leaves the country. However when they intercept prohibited items must I say, they in co-op with Royal Mail would inspect and remove the illegal goods and send you the form. However if its something worth their while, they in co-op with the police would probably do an investigation, or better yet observation as they call it. They will know how to deal with the situation as they see fit.
I would say currently in the UK we benefit slightly from the lack of co-op between government agencies.
Royal Mail - as someone said deals with more letters and parcels then you can probably imagine, I mean we still do or did up to a certain point have some of the biggest sorting offices in EU. Domestic mail, unless really suspicious looking, almost never fails and reaches destination.
Now for the educated guess, my honest opinion is your address is probably burned from overseas mail however for domestic your still good.
As for another delivery address, my best advice is to find a friend or some sort where you would have access to a house where multiple occupants live. Example, 4 bed house, where people individually rent rooms only. In these instance, the tenants change more quickly then you can count and its a right mess in most cases, but for you this mess is probably the best thing that can happen, as the mail can be in any name and is probably left by the main door and anyone who's not too nosy on touching other peoples mail, I would say you package would be pretty safe.
Hope this helps.

Many vendors will find a way to ship domestically. This is generally what people mean when they advertise "stealth", however further precautions would include receiving multiple packages for the same order. There's a cost for everything I presume. Hope this helps!
Long live the DPR!
Progression is the Missio!

I agree with Darktime. Try a small domestic order, you might find that cutting customs from the equation will be ok. I don't think RM has the time nor inclination to check all your incoming mail.
But an order originating outside the UK, you're pretty much burned so time to get creative with alternative addresses.
