According to this Australian Crime Commission website,
So less than a thousand benzo packages detected coming into Oz by post in 2010-11? That doesn't really sound like a whole heck of a lot, right? Of course it's impossible to know how many of these meds are being ordered and shipped to Australia every year, but surely it must be 100,000+. Let's go with (what I'd guess is a very conservative and nice round figure of 100,000). In that case less than 1% of packages are detected.
What do the more BLers who are more pessimistic about your chances of getting your benzo package through in the mail think about these numbers? Is there anything I'm not taking into account?
Customs and Border Protection detected 1 173 unauthorised importations of benzodiazepine-based sedatives and traquillisers in 2010–11, a 102 per cent increase from the 582 detections in 2009–10. The majority of detections during 2010–11 were in the postal stream, which accounted for 84 per cent of detections
