I can confirm that with knowing a few people who work in Royal Mail, there are no sniffer dogs for orders UK to UK mainland.

I can't say if this applies to orders to Northern Ireland, but I've had a customer in Belfast who received their item so I'm assuming not (although again, this is just an assumption and not based on any factual information).

This is why I stick to just UK buyers. I'm a bit too paranoid to send abroad. But that's just me.

Cheers. BB

Customs do have sniffer dogs to sniff mail.... but what i have received so far has been double- vacuum packed with no smell (to me). I have had pills intercepted 3 times (no longer take them) and just got a warning letter that didn't involve police. At least in Ireland, you are allowed three warnings for possesion before you are charged. The police here will happily ignore someone smoking a joint if they aren't causing trouble.
If you are caught with weed above 7g though, and its wrapped, you're more likely charged as they will presume you are dealing.
I keep a stock indoors, and store some outside in shed. When I lived in an apartment, I would hang some in a small container on a string from window bars..... they wont find it then. It is also technically outside your property limits too. Most people chose similar hiding places in their property , thinking theyre crafty, but cops and thieves know this, and know where too look eg in containers, upper shelves of wardrobes etc. Hope this helps.

got busted by local police, local post opened a case against me for ordering illegal substances.

reason, as i've deducted eventually, vendor mentioned wrong address on the package.
plus because package went to a different country and spent who knows how long in transit between different customs.
matter deteriorated because vendor sent THREE packages out of good intention to satisfy the customer and compensate for post delay.

eventually, after many many many visits to the police and courts all charges were dropped.

not ordering since then. just not worth it, so switched to "gardening" myself :)

who knows if post has my name on some red list.

Hi vikosh, thanks for sharing and sorry for the experience. Glad it all turned out ok. Can you provide more detail on how this happened? Was it in the UK? Did the police show up at your place? Did they search it and find anything else? How come the charges were dropped after the many visits to police and courts?

Sure.
It wasn't in the UK. Let's say Mainland Europe
I received a summon from the police. When I got there I was presented photos of the package addressed to my name and address and it's content. It was sealed in 3 layers of vacuum foil. Not sure the exact name.
Local post scanned it and opened it and started a criminal case against me.
Police was very suggestive to come and "just have a look at my place" and apparently just briefly stopping by the ministry of justice to grab a warrant. I said firm no as thankfully I known my rights.
I was asked if I'd like to do a THC test, to which I responded that I sure can do it, but the test is not a definite confirmation that the package was intended to me. I then tried to pee and nothing came out strangely, then I was offered water, which I gladly drunk (around 1,5 litres), waited for an hour, tried 2 more times. While being supervised by an officer. Well my body is my temple isn't? So my body didn't produce any fluids kkk
They said - well who else would know my address to which I said that my address is not secret and they should probably investigate who sent it. There were no return address.
I denied whatever allegations.
I said may be someone has I'll intentions towards me, who knows. They asked if I can think of anyone who would do that to me. I said nobody that I know of. But who knows.
It was all stretched through a bunch of visits and letters back and forth to the police and the court.
At the end charges were dropped, my record remained clear and all costs of the investigation and processing were taken on by the state.
That's more or less how it was. In brief.

On the return address issue, the last order I received had a return address sticker on envelope. This was one of the top suppliers on LB. I don't think this is a good idea, as they may be leading the cops straight to their own door if the package is intercepted. Not worth that bit of weed back to get busted guys

Wow that's some Iron Curtain shit, yes?

How much was this for? I just got a visit for 3.5g

20g * 3

Vendor's fault. I think vendor's should get out of a stone mentality and take this more serious, because at the end there is no return address, isn't it?

Thank you Vikosh. Helpful to hear, thumbs up for keeping your cool and glad it’s all over now.

Many people have privacy/risk concerns that are not unreasonable. But a few questions remain:

1) How important is it to you to receive your meds? Life changing pain relief, freedom from side effects of prescription drugs and positive mental outlook are all reasons people's meds are important to them.

2) Does LB carry more risk than driving to visit (possibly known) people, to acquire a dubious/variable level of quality?

3) Or waiting for an unreliable person in a weird place?

One day all this glory could come to an end. But for now, no one cares about your eighth, so it's time to be happy! :-)

If it was just an eight kkk

It should be as casual as tea or sage. Something that's been part of so many cultures around the globe and yet became just another way for white people to get smashed.

But yeah, I agree with what you've points out. Makes total sense.

get to know your postie, if he's doing a job that cool. if he's a jobs worth be wary. a good mate is postie and over 95% mail after posting is first touched by delivery staff. main reasons for human intervention are revenue or damage issues. so tip your postman at xmas:)

A tip for your postman at Christmas goes a long way, I totally agree.

Cheers. BB

thank you for sharing this.

I wonder how do the letters actually get busted if one puts aside flaws in packaging, mentioning a correct address, printed and not handwritted, etc.

are there any sort of postal service protocols and procedures to identify potentially "illegal" parcels/letters, does anyone know?

I understand those practices may vary country by country, but i am sure they are pretty much copy pasted in most of the Europe.

I think it would be helpful

Royal Mail are just a delivery service, they are uninterested in what's in the parcels, their job is to safely deliver it. The police are only interested in large scale trafficking and would rather it be behind closed doors than out on the street. Lb is not of interest, if any centralised government wanted it gone it would already be gone or be under constant DDOS attacks

Exactly the point. Don't speak what police is or isn't interested in. At the end of is an illegal substance in the most of the world and can affect ones life in so many various ways.

All because cannabis somehow is drifting towards the concept of just of more substance for white people to get smashed.

I don't worry at all. RM def do not have sniffer dogs and as a company they respect the mail so unless the packet is badly damaged and the contents are literally falling out then there is nothing to worry about. They are certainly not looking for it . Only if its there infront of them are they forced to call the police :-) No sight or smell then its 100 % safe
Even if the packet IS intercepted then I would guess that you wouldn't even get a visit from the police .. They know that we wouldn't be able to give them any information about the seller... not that we would anyway!
I think that as long as lb stays as it is and doesn't allow class As then we're all pretty safe.. It takes a lot of resources to bust an online marketplace and there plenty of other sites that they would be more interested in... All just my own opinion of course!
A site like this means less dealing 'on the street', which has gotta be a good thing, right??!
Don't worry, be happy ?

the flower in the spacemonkeymeds tins that RB sell are high quality. every tin from him been stinky, tasty and heavy hitting just like the concentrates

Thanks for your input Xenia ..

Thanks guys much appreciated .. Thanks Jimfran ... Franko ..sean .. rastaman .. uk420 .. jcb

Hi tuttifrutti. I'm in the same boat. If u give the vendor a couple of options I'm sure you will get 1 of them. The only reason that's put me off from ordering is I've read that space med tins are 4g not 3.5g. If anyone can shed light on this would me much appreciated!

This is direct from space monkey website showing 4 gram tin pictures on all their products. Check out their website.

All true space monkey tins should be 4 grams & Have the holographic sticker on the top of the plastic covers.
I don't know where the 3.5 gram tins come from but they are not authentic, Ive asked several sources of mine from the USA.

Ther are loads of fake tins flying about these days, it can be quite hard to distinguish what's real or fake.
It's cheaper in America to buy the loose flower an tin them up them selves. Sell to us foreigners for double the amount

They probably buy mid grade weed and sell to us as top shelf, everytime i have been on space monkey meds on weedmaps it does say 4g tins

I found the same thing while researching they should be 4g. I have tried the peanut butter breathe. Which was not my 1st 2nd or third choice. Was ok but nothing special

Did you get it in the end?

Same here
