I sent a package through usps with some samples for a family member for review (10g at the very most) , everything was going as per usual with the tracking. Package said out for delivery and then boom message saying the package was "intercepted" in the city it was said to be delivered in. The message is the usual thing you would see is a package was legitimately stopped by the sender by intercepting it with the usps service, "This item has been intercepted on January 21, 2022 at 11:52 am in XXXXXXXX and redirected as requested by the sender.
From what i've read on the usps website concerning packages suspected of containing contraband they re route the package back to the sender and send a letter to the sender about a package that was unable to be delivered being able to be picked up at the post office X. They ask you for consent to open said package (instead of getting a warrant) and then determine the contents and then charge you based on this.
Now if you had half a brain and would not go to retrieve the package within 21 days, the post office considers it to be abandoned and then they can legally open and determine it's contents but it can not be used to bring criminal charges against someone but can be used in an investigation if deemed necessary (i would assume that would be if you were caught sending large amounts or illicit drugs). It say that it will be disposed of and any mailable contents will be returned to the sender

I'm not sweating it too much because i won't go retrieve the package, gonna act like it never existed TBH.
Just wondered if anyone had any experience with something like this.
I've sent it a couple of times before a never had an issue maybe just got unlucky

That sucks. Did you use your real return address? I'm a stoner so I'm not qualified to give legal advice, but this doesn't sound good.

real return
I've heard that carbon paper can be used to avoid x-ray detection but who knows
I've checked with legal counsel and they said i shouldn't really sweat it. Just don't go get the package if i even get a letter in the mail. They will probably just dispose of it after 21 days once open or an employee with not remember where it was stored wink wink

So you made up a fake address? That a big No No! RED FLAG!

To be clear, you sent a pack without mylar, used your real name and your real address for the return address? Was it at least vac sealed? Did you use cash to pay for the shipping?

I'd expect a love letter for both of you. Fortunately for you, it's a small quantity of something without opiods so, that's where I imagine it will end. In the future by not using that address you should be fine. For whoever was receiving it, they might want to avoid anything coming in for a while if they can.

I'm not going to lie, if someone was sending something to me and this happened, I'd be pissed. Especially if it was sent without at least being vac sealed and wiped with iso. Even then, mylar has become pretty standard for shippers. It's gotten pretty inexpensive over the years. I'd recommend looking into buying some if you plan on doing this again.

I've never had a pack intercepted. I'm not a legal counsel. I have never worked for USPS. I'm just sharing what I'd expect based on the amount of relevant threads I've seen on Dread and Reddit.

You’ll get a letter. Put said letter in garbage can. Don’t be so sloppy next time. 3x’s vac seal, make sure none of the packaging is stinky either.

Anytime you get a letter in the mail from customs or in the case the post office throw it away and in most cases where your seeds got intercepted or w/e no big deal email the vendor. In your dumb ass case stop trying to sell drugs in the mail and find a local market. If that’s seems scary to you, then you’re not really cut out to be a drug dealer.

consider this when checking the USPS database to find out "Where is my package"?

"According to the website Ars, a federal drug investigation reveals how the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) law enforcement unit can use IP logs on the postal tracking website to investigate crimes.

“The USPS database reflected that an individual using a computer or other device with IP address 75.67.6.214 accessed the USPS Track ‘n Confirm website to follow the progress of both the Florida Parcel and Bates Parcel #1,”Dowd wrote.

“What’s most bizarre about this, is the case was tipped off by an algorithm, a system that mines Track N’ Confirm user-data in order to detect suspicious activity, has triggered the investigation,”

and this

"According to FBI Agent James Spiropoulos, investigators accessed a Postal Service computer system that "incorporates a Mail Isolation Control and Tracking (MICT) program which photographs and captures a image of every mail piece that is processed."

but the reality of anything happening out of a simple seed seizure is very slim. The DOJ has bigger things to worry about than your seeds. But don't kid yourself that the information can't/won't/isn't be entered in a database somewhere for use in the future.
