Has anyone ever sent gifts through the mail? Like little gifts in an envelope, for example cooking spices or herbs. A friend of mine is going to study for a few months in Amsterdam as part of an exchange course and he said he'd send me a "gift". I was thinking more specifically something along the lines of mushrooms, you know for food. How safe is this process? Does the post office check through mail sometimes because I don't want them confiscating my cooking mushrooms, if you know what I mean, that would be disastrous. Any advice? |

I really expect you'll be safe... you have to write down what you're sending, but you can be quite vague, ya know. |

this is like asking: can i cross the street without getting hit by a car? yes you can, if you are lucky, but you can never be sure. The mail fucking sucks. You can never rely on it entirely. Don't send items through the mail if it is costly, or in some way important. Then again, you can pay extra for insurance and you should be fine. |

You can probably trust that a lot of the mail from Amsterdam is going to get special attention, because nearly every burn-out who makes a trip to Amsterdam is going to think they might be able to send a friend a gift. It would probably be safer for them to fly it to you. |

If going from one country to another you have to deal with customs I think who can inspect the contents. |

I wish someone would send me some liberty caps, because damned if I could find any in my one time of trying. |

Customs check everything over here, and I can't really imagine American customs being any more lax, what with the fear of.. well, basically everything. |

If you're going within the same country wouldn't simply not putting a return address completely protect the autonomoiniiminity of the sendar? |

The recipient can just say they don't know this crazy foo sending me stranfge fungi in the mail. peanut butter jar is not a bad idea, i was thinking maybe a shampoo bottle. i'm really set on it though, i've haven't cooked with mushrooms in ages, never mind some nice ones from amsterdam. they're spoiled with choice over there. |

when you send natural products you have to report the contents to prevent, for example, trade of endangered species's fur or meat. but of course you can always import a panda if you tell the customs that it's a pekinese. |

Went to the Dam last month, my mates sent back "herbs" in the post. Used birthday cards with badges, put the baggies under the badges, worked a treat. Me, I just strolled through departures with 5 grams in my bag. Also worked a treat! |

You can get “smellyproof” bags with a special seal at the top, very good. Depends how much your mate is going to be sending really – best to triple-bag and then wrap the fucker thoroughly in sellotape if it’s a fair bit, then put it inside some sort of metal case – cigarette tins do pretty well. Don’t bother with peanut butter or shampoo, they’re fucking obvious – who sends shampoo in the post? Mushrooms would probably be easier than ganj, less stinky, but they’d deffo investigate if it gets intercepted - most you’d get for greenery (under an oz or so anyway) is a customs letter saying the contents has been confiscated. Could probably get away with birthday card-style disguise if he’s not sending too much… The post does get checked from Dam on a regular though, I know people who make the trip across the border to germany to beat the sniffers. Helps making the package look "official" as well - sticker instead of writing etc. |

i got caught by customs. i ordered cubensis shrooms from japan...i got a few batches through , i was very happy indeed ...awesome. then i got fed up of sending cash in the post and used my credit card , they sent me a letter telling me i was very naughty and asked me not to enjoy my life. and then ...hahahaha i had this letter in my ruk sak with some canbiss and it was stolen. the police found my bag 100 miles away i had to collect it from the station, had to hire a freaking car..the letter was still in there, luckly the theives smoked my green. i got some funny looks from mr. policeman. maybe he was stoned..barstard!!? anyway ....if someone sends stuff to your house ...its not your fault ...but when the package arrives ..don't open it and consume straight away...cause the police might raid you on the same morning. tripping your balls off ....with angry Alsatian dogs ripping your arms off in your home ...aint the best situation and environment for spiritual enlightenment. freqy p.s send me some . |
