If the law is looking into your packages it doesnt matter your fucked already, they already know whats up. DHL and UPS do their own checks. Based on the amount of mail traveling through the UPS compared to DHL/UPS/FED-X you are much better off odds wise of going USPS. The police dont sit at the post office and check random packages. ------------------ For a good time click here: Search and Profiles (300Kleens Board) | ||

GLP - It is quite the opposite. DHL and UPS reserve the right to open any package they suspect as being unusual or may contain contraband or other illicit items. Law enforcement will still need to obtain a valid search and seizure warrant to actually open the package and use the evidence as basis for probable cause to apply for other search and seizure warrants, ie suspect residence, car, storage facility, etc... Packages sent via USPS may not be opened by postal authorities unless a valid warrant has been secured. | ||

Fed-ex also reserves the right to open any package. I just read this the other day on a business letter i had to send out from work. That being said, let me offer the following for speculation: if you use one of the fast couriers (fed-ex, ups) and choose one of the express options (next day priority, ups red, etc), i personally believe you are safer. You can watch the progress of the shit online as some couriers have instant updates of location as soon as it is scanned, every time it leaves truck, hits airport, etc, etc.. how much time does it take to stop a package, alert the authorities (possibly in multiple states), reseal the package, obtain a search warrant, setup the delivery with officers posing as the courier, etc... do you think they could still get the package there on time??? safest thing to do is turn it away if it turns up a day after it was due. just my $0.02 Peace, | ||

I'm a security guard for what was once a large company, now that they're downsizing security gets to handle all incoming and outgoing packages. So I'm alread on a first name basis with the AirBorne guy, and I've had this very exact conversation with him because I was wondering the same thing. He said the risk is somewhat higher with couriers because periodically the feds come to their warehouses and give em the canine treatment. It's gotten worse since those guys in the airports got busted, I think they were with fed ex. By sheer volume he said that usps is still the safest. |
