interesting discussion. lots of good info exchanged in the banter.

Federal agents do not always pick it up as we have seen on here before. They make the choice to pick it up or not..... Watched it happen to members and sources. Basically to an extent it comes down to your record and your lawyer. An it comes down to the case, the judge, the lawyer. Its not about one thing that gets you pinned its the stack of things for example. You get a few packs over the year, you sign for one and that is probable cause to search your house period, they search your house do they find weapons also drugs and guns together bad hit , needles, oils, orals, a laptop or a PC with a trail on it and don't think if you clear your cookies and browser your goog bahahaa , they look at your phone they take everything into consideration. It depends on how much of a hard on the lead investigator has , how much of a hard on the judge has etc etc. Everyone always say oh I only get little packs blah blah blah I've had a state bid and a fed bid I was locked up with guys who had one charge and because the proscuter was a hard ass and the judged was too they didn't get a slap on the rist and a small fine....... But for all those who read think what you want..... I've watched friends get hit with little shit and the feds picked it up and I've watches people get hit hard and nothing happened. You don't know if there is a prior investigation on the source , the shipper or even you. Its the luck of the draw......

I don't disagree with what you're saying, I'm just saying we're still at risk.
Everyone says "I only have personal use" and that will protect me, because they're after the big guys. That's usually the case, but not always. I've seen them go after small time users to send messages and such.
Just want people to have all the information so they can make an informed decision, as to what their comfortable with. Good topic.

People are living in la la land if they think no sig will keep them out of court...

i never get stuff sent with tracking, so no signature required, it comes down to a trust worthy source, if your going to bite the bullet on a new source you don't trust, probably good to sign and track, other than that, no need, it costs more anyway, either way, you cant be held responsible for what gets sent to your address, the trick to learn is leave no paper trails or cyber trails, cover those tracks first, the rest is just here say.

so tips- dont use your home pc from your own house with your own ip address, dont use real names on the sources website, if you have to donate at a post office that requires i.d get someone else to do that, a chick with no record what so ever is a favorite of mine, and email address should be encrypted and fake also, this way your tracks are covered, and if the cops come knocking, why would a young girl in her late 20s with no record order that stuff?? she was expecting make up, must be a mistake.

I just draw a line on the signature part so if they try and compare the hand writing...

You should only ever be required to sign for international deliveries. Never domestic. If ever you are asked to sign for a domestic package, I personally would not do it.
This is why I do not order international. But if you do, as stated below, know your mailman/mail woman and also know the Subs. If something doesn't smell right, deny its yours, refuse to sign and tell them to take it back. BEWARE of what LE calls controlled deliveries.

My mailman's nickname is Santa Claus.. he's always got the goods, wears the attire in the month of December, and looks just like him except not as big Lol!!

No but when they pull a print and search the residence your fucked. It doesn't come down to what happens in court , search warrents are easy to get,a print and a signature . Than when they find shit in the residence, pull your PC, look at your physique etc etc now the court case gets stronger...........

If no one witnessed your signature it wont hold up as your signature

That's a slippery slope. You never know what they will uphold or not. Signature or not, the note shows knowledge and intent.

Get familiar with your mailman or woman as it were. If it isn't your regular mailman delivering be wary of accepting. Sure they take days off and in that case if possible pay attention to who the usual sub is.

This isn't a bad idea.
The downside is that you can't claim any deniability about the package if things go south.

Good idea of you live in a decent area not so much if you live in a shithole area as I do, lol

Labs get busted all the time. When LE grabs the customer list - it puts a little layer of insulation between you and the lab. And you're right - I do get a lot of shit frequently and sometimes a lot of product if there is a sale.

Tru

Or, you can rent a P.O. box from, for example, the UPS store - tell them is is a business mail box and give them a list of names from the company that will be getting mail there and that you have the authority to pick up all mail.

Advantages:

1) You can order using a fake name - if you don't already
2) They will sign for your package when it arrives
3) The UPS store will send you an email when the package arrives with the tracking number so you know when your shipment gets there
4) The UGL will never have your home address in its records

Good idea but hate signing.
