Primarilly becuase we personalized the business a litttle more then maybe we should have. So JJ and I hope we helped those members that were interested and benefited. We can continue the discussion in more general terms and so I am starting with the last post of JJ that was on the thread. We can talk about storage, computer security, shipping, recieving, computer security or anything else that might be of interest as I think there was only one issue that stood out in the last thread that was too personalized.

No one got busted but... i lost 24k in gear. Major set back just because some UPS prick had to go snooping.
Fed-ex is private owned... just like UPS. They can open anything any time they want. The do not need a search warrant... they need nothing.
That being said... personally i dont think fedex really gives a shit. You do know the are partly owned my the MAFIA? Yeah... really.
All Fedex drivers care about is getting there pack to the address on time... and getting off work early.
Personally i like Priority confirmation.... why? Well... it never EVER requires a signature... it is usually (except christmas) 3 day delivery. They require a search warrant to open the pack.
Now.. if you get caught receiving via postal... the penalties are stiffer. If you have enough gear they will charge you with federal shit... that is bad.
UPS and Fedex and DHL cant charge you federally.
I rank them in this order... USPS priority #1.... DHL #2 ... Fedex #3 ... never ups.
Hope that helps you make your choice.... but always remember.. .any time you order via mail... what ever method... you are at RISK. Never let your guard down... no matter what.
