Welcome man. Greg has some good tips, follow those and that's about all you can do. Easiest way to get over the fear is just pull the trigger and make an order.

Hi freakyone and welcome to the board. I understand your concerns especially for a first time purchase. When you've done it once you will be much more relaxed about it. As Greg mentioned, regarding law enforcement priorities, we have to keep things in perspective. It's very unlikely your parcel will be stopped and even less likely that they will go to the time, effort and expense of charging you for receiving a couple of vials of test (if it's even illegal in your country). I'm not sure where you're from but I'm from the UK and it is quite legal to have steroids for personal use over here and to purchase them and bring them back into the country for personal use. If you're from the US I think at the very worst, your parcel might get stopped and seized.

Tips: set up an email not connected to you in any way. e.g. do not use your ISP email and do not link the email to your personal email or information. Do not use an email program like outlook that stores files on your computer.

Send cash to a friend who is having financial problems via Western Union. do not use a credit card or pay pal.

Unrelated to the above, when you receive a package (you might have to sign for it) assume it's the supplements you ordered from bodybuilding.com. (for out of country assume it's the travel brochures you've been waiting for)

If caught, be just as surprised as everyone else.

Also, it's not worth the thousands of dollars in manpower to look for a few hundred dollars of gear. The Feds focus is on the big fish. If by random chance your package got caught. you'll get scolded like a child.

Hi Freakyone... Your concerns aren't unfounded, but I honestly think you don't have much to worry about. I have only used one domestic source on eroids (and he's great! I won't use a diff company when his works hard and is great at what they do!) but I can tell you that the packaging is very simple and discreet, so as to not raise any suspicion by those handling it. I also don't think that you can be held legally accountable for anything that is mailed TO you from SOMEBODY ELSE. Now, if you were to be like Mark Michaels (drummer for 80's metal band Faster Pussycat) and mailed a bunch of heroin to yourself, getting caught would probably have it's consequences.

On a side note... using steroids (banned and/or scheduled prescription gaining substances and the like) is viewed much differently than using drugs that cause a "high." Steroids are used to preserve and promote muscle growth, increase appetite, and have many many other positive uses. Most people I think would not look down on people using (not abusing) these substances, because their application can be so positive and therapeutic, and we all know doctors do not always prescribe enough, if at all, for what people may really need. Then of course there's the age-old argument of "my body - my right." The moral implications of causing people legal problems over intelligently applying steroid use (not abuse) to their daily regimen seems to be a good defense, because people aren't using them the way other substances can be used and abused, and contrary to popular belief, there are many honest, thinking people out there in the working world, who handle mail and stuff. We can only hope that if our use of these products comes into question, that those pointing the fingers will prudently think first, and know that they aren't living our lives or walking in our shoes. I've found it's much easier (and rewarding) to pray for those who you think may be straying, or in error, or "breaking a law of the land" rather than causing a stir and possibly causing them much personal grief and trouble. "Love your neighbor as yourself" carries a lot of weight with me on this issue. Just my 2 cents.
