I have read of a company who doesnt deliver to anywhere that has a 4 or 5 at the beginning of there zipcode, because it enters customs in Chicago. I was wondering if anyone has ordered internationaly - that lives in this area and what the deal is? Do they have special proceedurs that makes it extra risky or is it just this company? Let me know - cheers. ------------------    | ||

Customs is exceptionally alert and tight as a drum coming through those POE's...I would not make any international orders from those zips,as they are snagging literally everything,including non-controlled ancillary meds...  | ||

Didn't have a problem getting mine - (Not all the zip's starting with "4" come in at Chicago, for example, mine come from New York.) | ||

I know 3 people who refuse to send anything that goes through Chicago port of entry. Do not order International if you are within this zone. Pay more but get what you paid for not a seizure letter. Peace | ||

I think I know who you are talking about. He has updated his message that says that for an extra $15 it can be repackaged once in the US. If this isn�t the same guy, maybe you can find someone to do the same with your guy. | ||

Well, my zipcode begins with a four and my mail goes through the chicago port. Guess what? I have had 5 seizures in the last six months. All from sources that never get their stuff seized due to clever packaging. Dont even risk it if your mail goes through that port. If you have recieved, you just have been very lucky. | ||

Okay, well I'm up here in North Eastern Ohio. I have had to drive to Kennedy Airport in New York to pick up a "SUSPICIOUS package," which contained nothing illegal. Basicly I think it would be trial and error, who knows where they come in from? Maybe express packages from chicago, regular mail through Ney York? I don't thing the USPS has a "Drug Importing FAQ sheet" for us to look at on their site, lol. | ||

Ya well I don't know what the hell is going on but I am pissed as hell right now. Is it fucking conicidence or what that I come on here right now and my package just got fucking snagged going through Chicago. Something is fucking up and I am shitty as hell. I just got my package today it was examined by customs and shit was seized and then I see somebody posting shit saying don't send packages from overseas to zips that begin with a 4 or 5. Do you all smell something! F&%k | ||

How in the world is one port so adept at seizing everything and the others are not? Also, how the heck do they keep up with all that volume of international packages? None of this makes any sense to me... ------------------ | ||

Dont know the story but from what I have heard it seems like customs have employed a shit load of new recruits and are opening every thing that comes there way. I believe even powdered products have been seized through chicago port of entry which was a first. Now I know some people who are refusing to send to these destinations including the clomid guy in England. Also to top off things anything coming from Europe is now meticulously examined because of the foot and mouth disease that is over here. If anyone lives in Chicago Port of entry do not order International. I found this info out only a few days back. Hell they are even seizing clomid which they should not be doing. Peace | ||

Customs in Chicago is on a rampage. They need more money and they are going to get it by producing big numbers. I have had items seized by them twice in the last 2 months, however I have also received packages as well. It seems to me as thought they are checking packages based on their origin. Some countries get through no problem while others do not. ------------------ | ||

I had some stuff lost a while back, but never recieved a letter. Recently I have had international mail come in no problem. Not discret ither... it was a b-vitamin box, writen in spanish, wraped in canvas so you could see through a bit, with a hand written address. It came through quick and fast. I have recived many things this way, and only lost a few enevlopes a couple of times. I think that it may just be bad luck for a couple of you, and/or good luck for me. I am in the suburbs but I don't think that that makes a diffrenece. | ||

I really don't think that European packages are scruntinized more because of the foot and mouth deal. Today I picked up a few packages from "european" sources. None were opened(no tape) and all seemed well. They were large boxes and they didn't even open them??? I think it is just the luck of the draw. Sometimes they fuck you, sometimes you get lucky. All my foreign guys front so if something doen't show, neither does the money! Now once again, how many letters before an addy is flagged???!!! I am telling you guys that is a farce!!! | ||

quote: Bump this. You know how these government managers work. They see some other group getting recognition, they're gonna want to get their share as well. Either 1) Customs port budgets are locked down, so the other ports couldn't do anything about Chicago's nose up the government's ass if they wanted to, or 2) the government really doesn't have enough money to let customs everywhere go nuts. In the case, of 1) these other port managers might be able to scream enough so that they can't get their fair share for next year. If this becomes the case, we'll all be sucking wind, because domestic suppliers will be short on product as well. Imagine $500 for a 20ml bottle of Winny. | ||

Chicago is over staffed and rather than letting the people go they are trying to get more money. Western europe in general is not being searched, Eastern is and Russia and the Baltics are, Asia is also. ------------------ | ||

Well I know first hand that the stuff going to Chicago is getting busted because I lost mine today. Iron Game or anyone know anyway of going around this problem or should it be packaged differently. | ||

Alot of packages are making it through, and there is no doubt about it. You are taking a bigger chance then normal, though, if you order from overseas. [This message has been edited by Loophole Genetics (edited March 20, 2001).] |
