Well said but I get it that it would be difficult to know for sure one way or the other, so allow me to help explain a little bit since this is our arena.

Now I understand that as an international source this may come off a little biased, but I promise I am going to do my best to explain the best of both worlds (security-wise) so that everyone can make their own educated decision. Just to explain why we're qualified to give our opinion on this....we have been in business for a almost a decade and have gotten most of our packaging method ideas from two old friends/customers who happen to be customs agents in their respective countries...Australia (toughest customs in the world....easily) and the U.S. (MUCH easier customs than we're all brainwashed to believe).

With that said, here's some pros and cons for both sides. Ordering domestically is a no-brainer as you will not have to deal with customs, so the odds of your package going through heavy checks is slightly less than international. However, the penalties when you're dealing on domestic soil are way shittier than with international. They will try to use you to get to the bigger fish. Here's the thing, the authorities always want the bigger fish, not the little guy. However, when a transaction happens on domestic soil (their own backyard from beginning to finish) then it gives them much more leverage and ability to find the bigger fish. When dealing internationally, it is not financially viable for them to go after all the small guys ordering gear. They want the big guy but since the big guy is in another country, then again, it's not financially viable for them to deal with everything and everyone that they would have to in order to get to the big fish.

With that said...CAN they come after you ordering internationally? Yes. Will they though for small to average orders of gear? Highly unlikely and in a decade (this is gonna sound like a plug but it's not) we have never had a seizure in the states, but we also have never even HEARD of anyone getting popped for their first small/average sized package of gear. Don't be stupid, do not order huge amounts of gear that your source is going to try to send in one package. If your source knows what they're doing, they'll split it up to for your safety. No "distribution' charges if the package that gets seized is too small.

Will they come after you if they find shit domestically? Again, yes they can. Will they? That depends on if they even find it in the first place as we already know the inspection aspect is lower, BUT, if they do, then domestically, you stand a much bigger chance of that knock on the door for small amounts of gear than from an international package.

I hope this helps clear up some questions but if you have other questions then lay them out here, but if they're more specific then pm us.

Good luck
