^What do you mean man? what evidence do you have of raids for .5g? The traffickable amount you mention is for SA and SAPOL, nothing to do with federal police. In vic that amount is 3g+
It really just won't happen, the local pol aren't involved here, these are federal crimes, federal cops are better paid, better funded and have much bigger fish to fry than teenagers and young adults ordering personal amounts of drugs they likely can't find. I won't go into detail but any package that's in a standard letter is not likely to be ripped apart and searched.
Another question for you all, since no one wants to listen to the guy with the most experience in this crap here....
How many of you have actually been through a federal raid? Been manhunted by the feds or interviewed by the ACC in relation to real drug importations?
(If for a second you think I actually order the crap myself to my house from SR, you're dead wrong - and if you yourself do that, you're an idiot).
Having been through several back in the mephedrone days, I can tell you right now (luckily any drugs were long gone before the cops rocked up A MONTH OR TWO LATER) The drugs they did find (one time notably over a gram of heroin) they left with us and said be good - another time my mate actually had a clan lab in his shed (not for cooking meth, but other legal and illegal items) again, they couldn't give a shit about that either. When questioned by my friend as to why, they clearly said they we're only looking for commercial amounts of drugs, and things like that are VICPOLs problem. "We're not paid enough to do their job or help them" was the line the federal officers said.
Making up shit without experience or any clue how these dudes operate is fucking shooting yourself in the foot. If you're too scared to take the plunge, stay away from it and leave it to those who have some balls or are willing to accept the risks involved.
The police are far from all seeing and all knowing. I won't go into packaging details for safety reasons guys but the general packaging of powders on SR makes them nigh undetectable, as most standard letter post is not sorted by humans letalone customs. The simplest way to work out how difficult it would be to bust someone with that is just to look at how many letters come into our major ports daily then work out what minority of that likely contains contraband and how many people are actually working those conveyer belts. If you think they have time to open every letter and check.... wrong.
Last but not least, never order contraband with EMS express post. That will likely get you busted.
