Kratom, Australian Customs, and my letterbox

[SpoonFullOfSugar]

Morning Folks.
So a few weeks ago i ordered some 20x Powdered Kratom extract from a well know overseas vendor. I live in Western Australia and i am fully aware how strict our customs and border control services are but i decided to chance it.
(On a side note, i have ordered MHRB twice before, one got through, one didn't) Anyway, i digress...

A few weeks went buy and i'd sort of given up on any chance of receiving the Kratom package, and was expecting a love letter from customs telling me they were keeping it.
So last night i got home and waiting in the letterbox was a yellow international parcel envelope with a bright yellow piece of sticky tape on it that read "OPENED FOR INSPECTION BY AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMS AND QUARATINE SERVICES"

I opened the package and there was my 20g of Kratom, clearly packaged as Kratom, all ready for my nomnomnoms.
Customs had slipped a note inside telling me that their detection systems (a dog??) had flagged this article and that it had been opened for inspection, but that it was deemed safe and therefore no articles have been removed from your package. Thanks and have a good day.

So i was just wondering, and after a bit of searching i see that Kratom in Australia is schedule 9, why did they let my package through?
Does anyone else have any experiences or reasons they could share? Hey, i'm not complaining, i just thought it was strange

i'd say simply put, you got lucky.

Does anyone else have any experiences or reasons they could share?

i don't see how any constructive harm minimisation discussion can come from anyone sharing their experiences of receiving scheduled drugs and beyond that is would all be speculative discussion as to why it got through.

i'm going to play the bad guy and close this for now and ask the other guys their opinion on where (if anywhere) we could steer the discussion away from incriminating yourself and it being a "tips on how to beat the customs system".

i'm in the airport waiting to board a plane so sorry to be so short and not elaborate any further but my head has been rattled from night terrors last night and a big weekend away.
