I can only comment on Canada, but the US is similar in that their postal service/mail is a federal operation. In Canada, it is a federal crime to interfere with, open or steal mail. This goes for postal employees. I've seen cases where the delivery driver can clearly smell marihuana, so its turned over to Police, who can obtain warrants, etc. Or they have a drug sniffer dog ID packages. These steps are taken because employee's cant just open packages on a whim or they are breaking the law. You have a right to privacy. You should be able to access Fed Ex department policies and cross reference with the USPS laws. If they are the same, then it should be a technicality that your rights were violated, therefore, charges get voided. Then again, the US is known for having a tougher justice system in Canada, so my comments can't bear too much weight. Best of luck though. And if Fed Ex did break procedure, I'd suggest you launch a civil suit on them.

Here in the US the mail service can and will open your mail at will. Its is Fed Govt, the all powerful big bro.
Use UPS!

Double jeopardy if he is in the USA, if he has been cleared or convicted on it then he is good, they cant get him again on the same occurrence.

Also just an FYI if anyone here is looking at suppliers, be wary of any products coming out of Iran, not that they are bad products but petty much 100% of items coming out of that country are searched by customs.

So be mindful of what path your products travel.

This is not accurate. USPS requires a warrant to open a package in their possession. They can get one with probable cause. But they certainly can not just open your mail because they want to. Private carriers have a different user agreement when you send via their service. Read the fine print. It clearly states they reserve the right to open and inspect any package.
