Ok, I know there have been posts on this, but the decision is still unclear. There are many pros and cons to using both methods(internationally speaking). Anyone have hands on experience with packages being seized both ways? Anyone have any more pros and cons?

For the us postal service:
Sheer volume gets it through undetected, more mail goes through in one week US post than Fedex&UPS in a year combined. they also need a warrant to open the stuff if it goes first class, but it's a federal offense.
Fed-Ex:
I heard they don't x-ray Fed Ex packages and If you express it, it has less time to be seen. Also, I don't think the feds want to go looking through corporate mail, as long as the package is flat and small. And it's not a federal offense to ship the stuff with fedex.

It CAN be a Federal offence with FedeX!!! If it comes from out of the country,Customs,DEA,FBI all jump in . Trust me

I guess it depends on where you're getting it from, as well. I mean shipping might not be equally simple for FedEx and another post in the different countries.

It doesn't matter if it comes by mule, if it crosses the boarder into the US its a federal offense. And where did you guys get the idea that a warrant is necessary for customs to open a package, just probable cause. If they needed a warrant every time, the court systems would be backed up for the next 100 years!!! As for which one to use, go with the postal service like someone said, sheer volume of packages increases the odds it will go thru undetected. Safety in numbers people!!!
