Because I care, I share:
Got this today in my PM's. It is worth reiterating for the benefit of the young members who are attempting to find their way safely in this game.
Allbeef,
I want to order through alin but this is my first time and I dont want to get caught, I am terrified of getting caught. I have got gear before through htr medxlife it was legal and i didnt have any worries, but it is expensive and i cant afford to use them.
I was wondering if i could get you advice to help me. I have a friend in a small town that works in the post office, he has been wanting gear. Would it be safe if he ordered it to his address and got it in the post office before it got to his house?
How would you handle this situation.
MY ANSWER
I don't think he should be trying to head off packs at the Post Office because he could really hurt himself if he was connected in any way. Better to be arrested away from your job, particularly if your job is at the US Post Office.
If your zipcode starts with a number less than six yor international pack goes through the East Coast port of entry and it is pretty safe in my opinion. Personally I wouldn't order internationally if I had a zipcode starting 6 or above as it goes through San francisco and SF customs is a pain in the ass. I believe I have this correct although many good sources tell me they routinely get gear through SF just like East Coast but that has not been my experience. Ask Alin or whoever what the actual seizure rate is for your zipcode and they are obligated to be honest.
If you are going to order gear domestic or otherwise, get a rental mailbox big enough to hold the Priority Video box and with 24 hour access. A medium or large box. I like ma and pop stores and I don't like the Post Offices or UPS stores.
When you set up the mailbox rental, just tell them that you have a Christian Ministry like " Shining Light Ministries " ( it does help if you know the Lord! ) and a small internet business you just started selling hair products ie: " Hairsplendor ". They may not even make you put the names down, particularly since you are just starting the business and you don't know if it will amount to anything. Even if you have to list it on the postal form, you are better off then going with your personal name.
Then just have the gear sent to either the Ministry or Hairsplendor name but not your personal name. The truth is most shops put anything addressed to your box in your box regardless of name.
The beauty of a Rental mailbox is that it insulates you from LE. That pack can sit there forever if you think there is a problem. Think about how they can get you? They could call you and in my neck of the woods that means a setup so you would be out of town indefinately. They could stake the box out for a few days. For personal gear who can afford that.! They can attempt delivery to you at home, but no one does that much and you would know to refuse to take possesion. A rental box is a very good thing.
This is all my opinion and there are others who fell differently about much of this and their insight is also relevant.
I hope that helped.

Please everyone share your perspective on this very important topic.
PS: It is okay to be afraid of what might happen although to much fear creates it's own problems. Look if we are talking personal gear, I believe everyone gets one free pass to avoid jail if they don't have an extensive criminal record. It is after your first arrest that the stakes seem to climb much higher.
