Since gear is so much cheaper in other countries... Purchase a ticket, fly over there, buy what ever you want, send your self a package, fly back. Wouldnt that be cheaper? More secure? No chance of being scammed? Plus you get a little vacation. Am I missing something or does this make sense? Especially if you are buying larger quantities. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Sounds good to me bro! Nothing like vacationing in Cancun and sending yourself a postcard. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

ft. lauderdale...cool...i used to live in Boca Raton Anyway, sure, just be SURE to send it to yourself, dont bring it back with you on da plane. Theres a more elevated risk of getting caught. But if its for minimal quanitties, just put em in your pockets!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Well, in theory its a good idea but you to fly to a country where its otc, like Thailand, and it would be very hard sending yourself a crapload of gear from there. Another option would be to go to a country where its not otc but still cheap and available like somewhere in Eastern Europe or the former Soviet Union, but unless you know a wholesaler I doubt you would have much luck. You can try bribing someone at a pharmacy, but if you did so here, in Poland, I would say there is a 50% chance they would call the cops and you would be deported, and 49% that they would tell you to fuck off. I know thats not what you would expect of a country where that average monthly income is about 400$ (it went up!!) but when the unemployment rate is 15-25% people are more worried about losing their jobs than making a quick buck. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

There are a few countries that are very close to the US where everything is over the counter and gear is much cheaper. The cost of the flight would be well worth it for the extra security. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Most good foreign sources have excellent packaging techniques. If you just ship a large box full of gear, you're at bigger risk of customs snagging it. Also, most good foreign sources will reship your goods if customs gets it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
