Don't know the date on this post but..
I recently posted 2 parcels to 2 mates in the same town. Both 1st class..and only 1 got their smoke.
So I dunno what's happened to the other. Guna use signed for next time
Edit; 2nd parcel landed 6 days later

From a vendors prospective we've seen a slow down in our delivery times.

Majority were landing next but now our customers are waiting longer, 3 days + at times.

Whether that's Royal Mail our end, theirs or somewhere between I'm not sure but there is delays!

yes my post is a bit erratic ,somedays no post at all,staff shortage, train strikes,covid all still in the mix.

Hey mate.

Plausible deniability. Don't own up to the package. Deny all knowledge of it. They've not the time or the inclination to look further into a package with a bit of weed in it.

They'll ask if it's yours, where it came from etc. They won't need entrance into your home either but if you don't want neighbours over hearing the conversation if you've got nothing to hide at home it won't make a difference if they enter. I seriously doubt they'll conduct a search from what I've seen others in your position have said.

They'll just give you a warning not to do it again. That's if it has been intercepted by Royal Mail. There's a lot of sticky fingers within Royal Mail!

Hope it sorts itself quickly. It's a lot of stress for something that shouldn't be illegal in the first place.

Brilliant thank you ULC that’s put my mind at rest & totally agree it shouldn’t be illegal in the 1st place.

Amen

What was the quantity and does the seller have a history of good stealth? Like ULC says, plenty of sticky fingered posties have an inkling of what’s in zero weighted Jiffy bags these days and may have thieved it. RM just don’t need the hassle otherwise (it’s a no reward game) so unless it’s big and it stinks like (enter joke here) they won’t go there.
If it was big and it did stink and they do knock then you know nothing. At best: ‘some idiot friend somewhere might have sent it thinking they could use your address but you have no idea who or why or when’. Terribly sorry, terribly polite. They won’t want to enter unless it was a BIG order! A warning will ensue, leave it a while and only order very stealthy Henry’s in the future.
Worry not….🙏😇

Thanks Pollypuff was an oz & from my usual supplier who usually has excellent stealth. It was one of several peoples packages missing two weeks running so I think it is a sticky fingered postie rather than it’s seized but the worry is always there lol. Thanks again 🙏🙂

a run of packages is a stinker somewhere in the chain and it may not be the posties. your seller may have a new hire or who knows what operationally. the seller needs to make good on this regardless.

Same vote as yourself so fingers crossed

I’m in the same boat! Deny all knowledge! Then they have to prove it was you.

Mine was pinched by the posty, in that case you'll be fine.

I think that’s maybe what happened to mine

Hey,
I am late with the response, but i speak from experience.
I've been to police and courts because of sensitive packages arriving to my address.
It does suck when it happens. It also takes away any confidence in ordering again. I do not order from abroad anymore.
Luckily i live in a country where we have postal secrecy - only satan knows what is being transported by the postal trucks in this country (anything from human organs to most deadly drugs and weapons lol).

You got to remember that it is not a crime to receive a letter/package.
As long as you deny ever knowing about it or ordering it - you should be fine.
Don't leave too many tracks online when ordering.
And if they will offer to do a piss test (which at some point happened to me) - you have the full right to deny doing it. It makes no difference to the court and in fact it can be easily proved that such tests are basically self-incrimination.

Do not hesitate to ask if in doubt.
Cheers,
V.

p.s. By the way, ULC wrote a good post response to you.

I too have been down this route. Had to go to Police Station, denied all knowledge of it, used free-appointed lawyer. Very very scary, but in the end, investigation dropped....but it does mean I had to change my delivery address, which is a pain in the arse, as I can't risk it happening again.

How much was the intercepted package? Seems out of the ordinary to get as serious as getting a lawyer even if free involved. I know of somebody who almost certainly had a quart intercepted due to poor stealth but he just never got the package, never heard anything else.

I had 7g seized a few weeks ago due to poor stealth. I got a letter from the police pretty much advising don’t do it again.
Still the orders are dropping…

It’s why I strictly stick to vendors with a proven track record regarding stealth.

and who do you recommend

To stealth is Ghost town terps his stealth is super slick

I had several, from 7g up to an ounce.

was about 5g. Two cops at door. Package had been intercepted.

about 7g

If you don’t have it in your Possession they really can’t do much they can ask and you just say I have no idea what you are talking about it’s as easy as that happened to my pal up north they knocked gave a whole speech and he said i have no idea and they went on there way

And here's me worrying about a missing 1g of cheese in the post lol

I will send you a g what’s your adress hahahaahh 😉

Yeah okay haha
Really am missing that g of cheese though. Hell knows where it went

Postie sticky fingers most likly

I know it wasn't my post lady, she's lovely.
It either wasn't sent, got lost, or found out. Not sure. Hopefully seller Will reship
