Naa. You can sign for a package. Most credit card processors and shipping agencies require signatures now. They'd have to see you open it and identify the contents to arrest you, and a shipping agent has no jurisdiction.
Where do you have your gear shipped?

Always to my home and always has a tracking number...once the tracking showed it was being returned as undeliverable and i phoned the post office before they sent it back and went down with i.d. and picked it up... over 20 orders so far over the years..always my own name...always to my house with only that one problem and that was caused by a new printer program they had which strung my whole address together and the idiot post man who always delivers my mail for years didnt think to look closer at the name...
That's not true. It is the signature that they use to hold up in court. The person asking you to sign it would be the postal inspector, the cops or whoever would be working with the postal inspector and sending him in. So if it's going to your house and you don't recognize your postman then don't sign for it.
I'm speaking from experience but, I won't go into any further details and it wasn't AAS so not to make anybody paranoid.
Speaking from my own experience, that is correct. It's not to say if you don't sign for it that anything else can't happen but, if it was in somebody else's name and they didn't have any other evidence then they couldn't prove it was yours. If you are signing for it, you are taking possession/ownership and saying it's yours, even if it wasn't in your name but, once you sign for it, that's it.

I have no problem with everyone being overly cautious, it's the best route. Packages cannot be opened without a warrant, police officer or civilian.. that would be a federal crime. Just like anything else you possess, if they don't know what's in it and confirm it, they can't do anything. It's the law.
I can go to the post office, sign for a package, pick it up and go home. No harm done. Even in the worst case scenario that you landed a cop that's having a bad day and forces it open; any efforts in court on his behalf would be fruitless. I would crush the PD if that ever happened to me and get every penny I could out of them. Easy money.
But again, better safe. It's the payment method where most people screw up.

One thing I do when I get a big order is instantly write return to sender real big on the box. Then I put it on the counter for a couple days. If nothing happenes I open it. Might not do a thing but in my head it makes me believe that if something did happen my lawyer could work with it.

I mean they leave trace of payment. Way too many ways around that to risk it.

I don't know the laws on this, but I did just see the movie Snitch with The Rock. In that movie it seemed like the guy got busted because his friend shipped him a package with his name on it and he signed for delivery. May be dramatacized though.
Don't most places just send the packages to you via first class mail which does not require a signature upon delivery? It is just left in your mailbox for you.

lol. I also saw Tom Cruise running from aliens.
on a serious note, it's not the source that requires a signature, they could care less. It's the credit card processors, such as paypal, western union online, etc.. that require a signature for a certain amount of $$ spent.

But those are also target practice.. risky.
Oh really? Not in Texas? Does DFW ring a bell to you? So yeah it can happen. You're acting like the law is fair. You really think the "it wasn't me" shit will work? They aren't idiots they know the chances of somebody just sending a stranger a controlled substance is less than that of a person that has some involvement. Don't you think if there was some epidemic of strangers sending strangers drugs in the mail that they wouldn't know about it? Would people not report it to the authorities if this was a real problem? Right they don't hear about it because it doesn't happen, in the rare circumstances it does its still way more likely looking at statistics the person that received it had something to do with it.
Again I don't want to get into this or make people paranoid but let's just say yes just out of the blue if it was a one time thing they wouldn't do anything but say there was a paper trail like a customs notice they keep track of that stuff they can use that against you.
Anyway I was just correcting you about the signature thing because you clearly dont have experience in that area and you were giving the wrong advise.

Actually if you google it there was a lawyer that did an interview on another forum that said that tactic is bullshit and wouldn't fly in court.
