Found this excellent information for those interested (Tips to protecting yourself when buying AAS online):
I cannot obtain steroids locally. I'm a little worried about ordering on the internet. Are there any precautions I should take ?
A.When selecting a source
Select your source carefully. Not getting scammed is your first priority. Never order any product from someone you don't know can deliver, or wasn't recommended to you by someone you know personally who can vouch for him. Not just some board member that says he is good, but a respected person who has more to lose by lying than by being upfront. Below are some types of sources you should not deal with :
1.Sources with a real fancy website that can be located on a search engine. Most sources will find websites too conspicuous. Some sources in countries where they are legal will have a website, but usually not a very open one. If they have a very commercial website its either a scammer or a sting operation. either way you lose your money.
2.Legit online pharmacies. Even if they claim you don't need a script. These people wave all responsibility for the package. the real problem is that these sites are well-known with customs offices. When packages from these places enter the country they are immediately detained. All too often, there is a paper trail of your payment as well. You not only stand to lose your money, but could also face legal charges. These are places like Pharmagroup. Usually they are overpriced as well.
3. Never, ever buy from a source that mails you. Obtain sources from stand-up people at reputable boards, from friends and people who have a lot to lose by cheating you. Never from a stranger. If the source has to mail you, he is not reputable. It usually means he has already been denied by most moderators.
4. Never place a very large order. If you are dealing with a source for the first time, never order more than $500 the first time around. If he delivers, you can always order more.
B. When ordering stuff
With props to immortal juicer for some of this information.
There are some things you need to watch when ordering steroids online. Most people are worried about the illegal nature and the consequences this may have. The best thing you can do is educate yourself on these matters. Be aware of your own rights, and above all, deny but DO NOT lie. Making up stories requires a consistency, when you do not have that it usually bites you in the ass. Things to watch when ordering :
1.Never pay by any tracable means. No bank transfers, no cheques and definitely no credit cards. Pay cash, wester Union, Paypal or money order. When the package arrives you can always claim it was sent to you by mistake since there is no proof your ordered it.
2. if you are worried about your money, send it by registered mail so you know where it is and whether or not it has arrived. if you know it has, even if the source cheats you, you can paste his name over the internet and he will never scam another person
3.Always use your real name, fake names will draw attention with law enforcement.
4.If possible, have the package sent registered as well. these are checked less by customs, they are tracable so you know where it is at all times and you can sign for delivery so your source knows its made its destination as well. When its sent registered, the law states that you know what you are signing for, so claiming you didn't order it doesn't work. In this case, when asked, state that this is not what you ordered, you order legal supplements. It was a shipping mistake.
5. usually intercepted packages are not followed up because they know they have no case. This is so in 99% of seized packages. That alone should make you more at ease. 95% of shipped packages make their destination without problems. The odds are in your favour. If seized you will receive a seizure letter. If the letter asks you to contact them, then contact them. Deny that you ordered any such product and when asked denounce them. End of story. Some countries require you to send a signed letter with a copy of your ID to denounce them. If not asked to contact, ignore the letter. Once letter is received, consider package lost. Most sources will reship if you can send them a letter of seizure, or refund your money if it fails twice.
6.People are all too often caught for gear they have in the house. Apart from seized gear, you stand to lose that as well. When expecting a package, keep a clean house. Stash your stuff elsewhere, where it is safe.
7.Never consent to a search. if needed that buys you time to make clean house.
8.never answer the questions of a law enforcement officer without the presence and counsel of an attorney
9.Always be respectful.
