Warning: Suspicious Packages

kaisersozei · 11-03-2010, 07:59 AM

Thought I'd give all my B/SOTL's a heads up, courtesy USPS

Remember to "activate your emergency plan!" It's better to be prepared, I want everyone to stay safe

I agree! If anyone receives packages from Switzerland, please DO NOT open them! Stop immediately and send them to me for further inspection.

replicant_argent · 11-03-2010, 08:03 AM

thanks for the heads up.

"Protruding wires"

Yep that's a red flag.

kelmac07 · 11-03-2010, 08:06 AM

Looks like packages I send...misspellings, tons of tape.

Agreed!!!

neoflex · 11-03-2010, 08:12 AM

Funny, I was just thinking "Crap." All my packages are going to be delayed for inspection as my chicken scratch and tons a tape will be a red flag.

SNKBYT · 11-03-2010, 08:12 AM

outbound over taped boxes are OK just not inbound

This explains my latest hold up from the UK!

Thank goodness for USPS online labels...because my hand writing is beyond chicken scratch!! More like hieroglyphics.

I actually had a package turned down/ away by usps b/c it had too much duct tape on it

I am a potential terror threat

This could be an issue for those purchasing candies from abroad. The heat is going to be turned up on international packages again.

I've often thought that that could be a serious problem. I think I even wrote on one box "You've been Bombed". Not sure he ever got that box.
