Why order international? 1.) TA is way longer 2.) its goes thru customs

Prolly a random check, but the other one that arrived got thru before they seized it. Could you be red flagged? Possibly.. I'd avoid getting anything to that address until it cools down.

I've gotten one and I did a reship to a buddies house and it arrived, but since I have always gone domestic and will never look back. I believe it said something along the lines of me contacting them or come pick it up, no thanks.

I'd play it cool and have it sent to someone you trust.

I don't have any inside knowledge, but with the sheer volume of packages that come through customs every day, it is just random unluckiness that packages like ours get seized. I would bet that most of the seizures are due to product breakages and packages leaking. I made an order several months ago, and it sat in customs for weeks. The package was returned to sender after almost a month. No letter or notice, I just kept checking the tracking number to see what happened.

I've been doing quite a bit of research on this topic lately, and I'm convinced its all just random and unless you're ordering high volumes then customs doesn't care about you. My main and favorite source is one of the top listed and ships from over seas, and I've never had a seizure from them. I jumped in on a free promo from another source a while ago and had two in a row seized, the third they shipped from a safer location (overseas still) and it arrived. My last order I tried a new source because they had a half off special, first package got seized, they reshipped from the same location, through the same customs location, and it arrived just fine. In between all this I've made little orders here and there from my main source and every one of them have arrived.

I dont think they flag addresses, or certain packages wouldnt have made it through to me. I think certain countries have a lower chance of getting packages through customs than others, but it seems like the sources packaging and discreteness is one of the biggest factors. None of this is solid, just my opinion from my experience and research. At this point, I dont chance any out of country orders except from my main source which has always gotten packages through so far... If I dont hit one of their promos then I order domestic. Domestic is obviously going to be safer.

TMI

Address likely wont get flagged unless they open an investigation. Hundreds of thousands of packs go through customs daily. Your 2 packs didnt go through the sorting line one after the other. Sorting centers are chaotic, similar to a UPS sorting center, but multiplied.

Domestic is always a bit safer I think but you'll never have the guarantee that all run well mate!
it also depends on whether the shipping address is already known at customs, etc.

A very important part is also how stealth your source is shipping!

Anyway, shit happens but all the best for the future!
