First let me start by saying that I was stupid and tried to
send too much home. My package was sent Fed Ex.
I knew the guy who delivered it. Next thing I know,
(about 24hrs later) these guys knock on my door, show
me a search warrent and, well you figure it out. This
was because I ordered from a source that was always good to me,
ect. You know the drill. Anyway, I got sentenced to four yrs
and had to pay a fine of 68,000 bucks. I'm still paying off the
fine as we speak. I got out about 8months early. So,
you decide. Is it worth it?? The bummer is that I get
tested once a month for roidz now. So, that limits anything
I can take to natural. Be careful all. Don't let this
happen to you!
PS This may sound strange, but if you MUST order from overseas,
send it to canada first, then bring it down into the states.
Goverment cutbacks are limiting the amount of customs agents
that are allowed to work. I know this first hand.
As the Mighty Hulster says: "Be Careful and Watch Your Back"
Words to live by.
