Sending stuff in the mail

Probably not a good idea to publicly share your mailing secrets. PMs might be more appropriate for this sort of thing.


In general though, I only send small amounts. Whatever will fit in an (padded) envelope. AFAIK, domestic envelopes are not searched or scanned or sniffed. With packages, who knows? The bigger the package, the more likely it is to draw attention.


Needless to say, I don't use jars, just lots of layers of plastic wrapping and tape. You can't fool a dog, so you only really need to make sure it doesn't smell to humans. When packing, never handle the buds because you'll end up getting the smell on the outside of the packaging. Use forceps or tweezers. And just to be sure, wipe down the outside of every layer with alcohol.

 

They already know them, but it's an overwhelming task.


I have a friend who's a postal inspector. I'd certainly pick his brain, but I haven't talked to him in awhile.

 

I really like CC's idea, seems hard to catch. I too have done the care package method with success, just bought mad random shit and buried it inside a box of caramel corn or something. When I use to sneak shit across the border I use to quadruple it up in ziplocks and then shove it down inside a bottle of shampoo with a string attached. Reach down and grab the string and yank it out and your good.

 

There are no real secrets being divulged here. I think that the USPS and LEO have lists of all the most common ways things are concealed. Believe me they know all our tricks. The point is that it's just an overwhelming task for them and there is no way that they can catch all or even most of the packages containing something like ganja. They may catch a small percentage but I know from experience that it can be done very easily with a high success rate. Care packages are sent all the time so that is why I use that method. The USPS is the best for anonymity.


I no longer send any Ganja in the mail. SInce becoming a legal MMJ patient and grower I would never jeopardize my livelihood by sending medication over state lines. But when I was traveling for work mrsganjah sent me 1/2 ounces and ounces many times without any problems.


As for using coffee in my packages, it's not really to throw off dogs, more to throw off people. Not many Post Offices have dogs, but Ganja has a strong smell, especially if it's some really danky stanky. The last thing you want is some postal worker handling your package to catch a little whiff of your sweet ganja. I know you can't really fool a dog, but people are easy to fool. No smell no reason to scrutinize your package among thousands of others.

 

So, what about mailing addresses?


Do I still need my name on there, or a fake name? Should the sender put a fake name on there?

I'd think a fake name for the recipient might raise more suspicion, and might not get delivered.


Definitely use a fake name and address for the return. But use a real-sounding name and real address. An obviously fake return address (like John Smith, 1234 Main Street) can be suspicious. I always use the name and address of a guy I used to work with that I never liked very much. It's a real address and it's in my neighborhood, so it will also match the post mark.

 

Ok, so right now I'm rooming with someone. Older than me, doesn't smoke at all, has a 7 yr old, she's always home and gets the mail. She gets a package with some funky-ass name at the door, she says, nope, that person doesn't live here, hands it back to the guy, or sends it back, whatever. Bye bye goes my ganja.


Guess I could use a joke name? Say it was a joke with an old friend? IDK....


I really need some good herb up here!!!

Heyzeus! Haven't you guys heard of seal a meal/vacuum sealers for ganja? Best $200 you can spend. As a person who is often traveling 20+ miles with more than a pound in my possession, I couldn't ask for a better device. Bag it in the typical freexer bags, 1/4-1/2 lb each, then vacuum seal each one. Hell, I used to get 50-100 lbs at a time from Canada that way, all the bags were 1/2 lb.s vacuum sealed and linked together like a giant pack of condoms or sausage links I guess. Ever seen a U-Haul truck loaded with I would guess around 3000 lbs, in 50 lb boxes full of linked 1/2 lbs.? Quite a site, I assure you.


As long as there is a good seal and no residue on the outside of the vacuum seal bag, ain't no doggie in the world gonna smell it.


Of course you must use fake names. Even better, get a friend that doesn't grow to let you send it to their house under a fake name. Never send a package to where you grow. Seeds, clones, weed, dope, anything illegal stays as far from the grow as possible. Call me old school, I dont care. I know people who say "who gives a fuck, I'm a medical patient!" blah blah. I been doing this for a long time, before it or I was legal, and I still have the same old mentality. Ain't nothing worth my freedom. SO, use all precautions for the sake of shear prudence.


Hell I met all the people at the last years meet and greet, partied for 4 days and felt very comfortable with every single person there, yet not a single one knows my real name. Just call me Useless.


To steal a quote from the Mission Impossible movie


"You have no idea what a comfort anonymity can be in this business, it's like a warm blanket..."


Stay safe.


The weight of my words would break the jaw of a less interesting man.....


I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. :roffl: :roffl: :roffl: :roffl: :roffl: :roffl:


Damn I love those commercials. ROFL

 

Like Useless says, that's how 'someone' I know get his shipments, vacuum sealed. 'Someone' also got a P.O. Box and used a fake busines name, like Universal Enterprises. That way, 'someone' also has plausible deniability.

 

I know some mailmen and they say if they didn't know the name on the package that most likely they would send it back. I would also think it would be less conspicious if an existing name was recieving it.


Those commercials rule. I won a trophy just for my game face.

 

Well, why even send it? If packed right, no need for suspicion. Unless the people that live there let them (mailman) know that they're expecting a package with an unknown name, no matter how many times you send it there, they will not deliver it.


edit: really not trying to argue, but if so worried, why send it? I can see using a fake return, but I'd rather it make it.

 

I want to be safe, but I also think along the same ways as lvsticky - mailman is used to delivering to only one person's name, now all of a sudden, here's a strange name...


Plus, if I received a package from an anonymous person, who's to say I even knew it was coming? Or that it was for me? You don't have control over who sends you things....

by the time you make up your mind, youll be back home........sheesh

 

I have mail sent for others arrive in my box all the time. The mailman's job is to deliver mail, not question who its going to. Maybe you had your brother move in with you, or a friend is staying. If your mailman is into your shit so much that he will hold mail that doesn't have your name then I think you have bigger worries.

 

AMEN, finally some common sense


Dude has a job....he does his job, hes NOT a cop doing police work trying to figure out who GTWT is......come on, shit or get off the pot, then smoke some pot, jus NOT from the shitpot

 

Have your name misspelled.


John Smith becomes J. Smitt.


Thomas Jones becomes T. James


Jane Harrington becomes J. Herrington


That way you can truthfully say, "It's not me."

 

No. It's doesn't work that way, unless the LEO (well.... actually the Feds in this case) can prove a conspiracy to distribute on the recievers end...they can't do shit other than seize it OR let it ride and watch the house where it was delivered. Plausible deniability. The sender can't ideally be traced and the reciever has no idea who "Timothy C. Evans 50 West Washington, Suite 1203 Chicago, Illinois 60602" is.....


My handwriting is so terrible I just scribble a to: name. real or a nickname. The carriers could give a shit. As long as it addressed and postage paid, they would deliver it to A. Hitler.

And again, NO FINGERPRINTS on the box, jar, candle, packing tape, or what the fuck ever!!!

The average response time for an electronic criminal fingerprint submission is about 10 minutes, while electronic civil submissions are processed within an hour and 12 minutes. IAFIS (FBI) processes an average of approximately 162,000 ten-print submissions per day.

​

Basically..if you've ever been in the military or have been arrested (ANSI/NIST).....they've got you cold if you leave a print in the wrong spot. I've been both so..just run a clean shop and don't sweat it so much. If you're smart and polite about it.......by this, I mean don't be an asshole.....the worse that can happen is you/they get their weed or not.

THIS IS BY NO MEANS A TIP OFF TO THE USPS NOR AN AFFIRMATION OF ABOVE PRACTICES. BUT EVEN LEO WOULD ADMIT, IT'S MUCH SAFER, EVEN DRIVNG, ACROSS COUNTRY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.
