I'll bet any amount that it's a small town. But on the other hand ... three postal inspectors in one spot is a lot of postal inspectors. My guess is that they were probably not all postal inspectors but other members of the local drug task force. If they took away the unopened package and opened it, they probably needed to get a search warrant to open it because it was domestic mail. That is ... if they did a legal search, which is not always the case. Anyway, they found no illegal drugs or it would have been much more scary.

Do you have anybody out to get you by tipping them off that you were ordering drugs by mail from Mexico? Otherwise, how did they know? They didn't know where it came from and they didn't get the package from Customs. Makes me think you have someone there trying to get you in trouble. Well, it shook you up, but the only harm done is keeping you away from the IOP scene.

Customs can open anything that comes into the country but if it's mailed in the U.S., then it's domestic mail.

If it only had unscheduled medicine, i don't think there's any crime they can charge you with. They can charge the sender because that'd be running an illegal pharmacy. That's probably why they wanted to know who sent it to you. They didn't charge you with anything and you lost the package ... but you didn't get arrested or have your house searched and you didn't have to pay a penny for a lawyer.

If it's a small town like i suppose, they'll probably keep an eye on your mail and if they're palsy-walsy with a judge they could get a search warrant and open up anything they think is suspicious. So my advice is quit while you're ahead. Or else hand carry it over the border. The mail is over.
